It would be nice to add a button to view the logs. This will help support debug connection issue easily.

Something like.

For what it's worth, this is a little non-trivial to implement on macOS. We log using the OS logger. Those logs are accessible via Console.app or /usr/bin/log, they're not written to a user accessible/readable file.

One way to close this issue might be to shell out to /usr/bin/log to collect the past few minutes of logs (using something like log collect --last 2m --process "com.coder.Coder-Desktop.VPN" --process "Coder Desktop"), write that to a file, and then open that file in the user's default text editor or finder.
