Hello! Readme says that logs can be found in ~/.cache/GlobalProtect-openconnect/gpclient.log but after recent updates, I can not find logs in the specified folder.

Thank you for the app it is awesome :+1:

The log file is removed due to security concerns. You can view logs by running the gpclient command in the Terminal.

What were the security concerns? Aren't those concerns still present if logging is still possible via terminal command?

@markcellus The security concern is that the sensitive information wasn't redacted from the log entries. For the VPN gateway, the SAML gateway response. etc. I don't think this security concern is still valid when launching via the terminal.

1.4.1 on Manjaro. gpclient fails to login, openconnect from command line works.
Trying to troubleshoot and I don't see log entries (besides the initial greeting line) being written when gpclient is launched from the terminal.

[awesome@acer paloalto]$ gpclient

@ysiivan Can you try to install the AUR version from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/globalprotect-openconnect-git?

Hi, I just wanted to mention, that I have the exact same problem. My login fails right after clicking connect without any useful error. I wanted to see the logs to debug the problem on my side. I only get the one log line and nothing more. The windows opens, but no more log output. It works if I run it as root, but then it crashes with the following line: [26549:26549:0518/094530.118478:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180

Is there any possibility to get the log output as normal user in the shell? I already installed the AUR version

@yuezk Pulled and compiled 1.4.4 from github. Entries are showing in the terminal for non-sudo user.

@ysiivan So your problem is resolved?

@w0d4 It's not recommended to run gpclient as root. You can try to compile it from the source code.
