logs are used to hunt issues and crashes and get a clear understanding of system behavior.
Logs enables you to analyze issues with ease.

SafeSquid provide such logs which are locate at /var/log/safesquid/native/safesquid.log and /var/log/safesquid/extended/extended.log
Respective logs while help in your troubleshooting.

Using safesquid's debug mode, native log prints comprehensive details.
