I need to simulate a low bandwidth, high latency connection to a server in order to emulate the conditions of a VPN at a remote site. The bandwidth and latency should be tweakable so I can discover the best combination in order to run our software package.

To do this, click on the three vertical dots and then click on the middle dock position. Now go ahead and click on the Network tab. On the right, you should see a label called No Throttling. If you click on that, you'll get a dropdown list of a pre-configured speeds that you can use to simulate a slow connection.
While bandwidth affects your network speed, latency is usually the cause of lag or buffering. With higher bandwidth, download speed is increased and latency becomes more noticeable.
For macOS, there is the Network Link Conditioner that simulates configurable bandwidth, latency, and packet loss. It is contained in the Additional Tools for Xcode package.
