The access key that you provide when connecting a tunneling client identifies you (the user) and the project you are logged into. If a new client connects with the same key while an old one is connected, the old client will disconnect after emitting an informative message to the console.
When the client is running, it may write diagnostic messages to the log file, located in the same folder from which it was run. The log file is named per session, with the process ID as part of the file name (eg, network-tunnel_12718.log).
