In order to enable debug logging with ctrld, here is what you have to do.

Windows

Enable Logging

1. Open admin cmd or Powershell and navigate to C:/ControlD
2. Run this exact command: ctrld start --log dns.log

ctrld will start/restart in full debug mode, and write debug data to C:/ControlD/dns.log.

Reproduce the issue, copy the file and send it to us.

Disable Logging

Once you've collected the logs, it's a good idea to stop writing the debug log file, which can become quite large over time. To do this you can either re-run the installer as you did originally, or:

1. Open admin cmd or Powershell and navigate to C:/ControlD
2. Run this command: ctrld start --cd RESOLVER_ID_GOES_HERE

Template the value of RESOLVER_ID_GOES_HERE with your Endpoint's actual Resolver ID.

MacOS

Enable Logging

1. Open Terminal and run run this exact command: sudo ctrld start --log ~/dns.log

ctrld will start/restart in full debug mode, and write debug data to the user's home directory.

Reproduce the issue, copy the file and send it to us.
