View Reports

Open your favourite browser and set SafeSquid, for which you generated the reports in step 2, as the proxy.

Now open the URL http://safesquid.cfg/report/index.html

Now, you are looking at today’s reports.

If reports for today were not generated in the step 2, the reports page will be blank.

So use the date picker to view the reports that were generated in the step 2.
