Enable logging in Wireguard under Windows
To enable logging in WireGuard under Windows, you can modify the WireGuard configuration file to set the logging level and output destination. Here are the steps:
Open the WireGuard configuration file in a text editor. The default location of the configuration file is
C:\Program Files\WireGuard\config\wg0.conf
.Add the following lines to the configuration file to set the logging level and output destination:
php[Interface]
PrivateKey = <private_key>
Address = <ipv4_address>/<ipv4_subnet_mask>
ListenPort = <port>
[Peer]
PublicKey = <public_key>
AllowedIPs = <ipv4_address>/<ipv4_subnet_mask>
Endpoint = <server_ip>:<server_port>
PersistentKeepalive = <keepalive_interval>
[Logging]
LogLevel = <log_level>
File = <log_file_path>
Replace <log_level>
with the desired logging level (e.g. "info", "warning", "error", or "debug").
Replace <log_file_path>
with the path to the log file where you want to write the log output (e.g. "C:\wireguard.log").
Save the changes to the configuration file.
Restart the WireGuard service to apply the changes. You can do this by opening a command prompt with administrator privileges, and running the following command:
arduinonet stop wireguard
net start wireguard
- WireGuard will now write log messages to the specified log file. You can view the log output using a text editor or log viewer application.
Note that the logging feature is only available in WireGuard version 0.3.1 or later on Windows.
