Log Files

Proxifier can save its output (log) into a file. You can enable this feature on the Log->Log to File menu.

The following options are available:

• Disabled — do not write a log file.
• Errors Only, Normal, Verbose — write the output in the log file. The levels are the same as for Output Level.
• Verbose and Traffic — write verbose log into a file and save traffic into dump files.

You can set the log directory with the Log->Log to File->Set Log Directory... command.
The messages are saved into a “Log.txt” file in this directory. Traffic dumps (if enabled) are saved into a “Traffic” subdirectory as files with “.dmp” extension. For each connection Proxifier creates two files — one for incoming and one for outgoing traffic. The name consists of application name, “TO” or “FROM” mark, date (year, month, day) and time (hour, minute, millisecond).

For example, a dump of an HTTP connection can look like the following:
“iexplore.exe (4472) TO www.google.com_80 AT 20110424 131552072.dmp”
“iexplore.exe (4472) FROM www.google.com_80 AT 20110424 131552359.dmp”

WARNING!

Saving traffic on fast networks may require a lot of space on the hard disk. Proxifier checks the Traffic directory on each start and warns you if there are more than 1000 files or the total size is more than 500 Mb.
