Log Level

Logs can help troubleshoot connectivity and application issues. You can adjust the application log level, ranging from "Log connection status only" to "Log all messages," which includes connection events within the tunnel. Please note that enabling "Log all messages" may impact application performance and increase memory usage. You can view the current log records in the "Logs" tab. The application also saves logs to files located in the directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\WireSock Foundation\WireSock Secure Connect\Logs.
