+When Newt receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded (endpoint, public key) to bring up a WireGuard tunnel using [netstack](https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/blob/master/tun/netstack/examples/http_server.go) fully in user space. It will ping over the tunnel to ensure the peer on the Gerbil side is brought up.

 ### Receives Proxy Control Messages

 When Newt receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded to create a local low level TCP and UDP proxies attached to the virtual tunnel in order to relay traffic to programmed targets.

-## CLI Args
-
- `endpoint`: The endpoint where both Gerbil and Pangolin reside in order to connect to the websocket.
- `id`: Newt ID generated by Pangolin to identify the client.
- `secret`: A unique secret (not shared and kept private) used to authenticate the client ID with the websocket in order to receive commands. 
- `dns`: DNS server to use to resolve the endpoint
- `log-level` (optional): The log level to use. Default: INFO
- `updown` (optional): A script to be called when targets are added or removed.
- `tls-client-cert` (optional): Client certificate (p12 or pfx) for mTLS. See [mTLS](#mtls)
- `docker-socket` (optional): Set the Docker socket to use the container discovery integration
-
- Example:
-
-```bash
-./newt \
--id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
--secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
--endpoint https://example.com
-```
-
-You can also run it with Docker compose. For example, a service in your `docker-compose.yml` might look like this using environment vars (recommended):
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  newt:
-    image: fosrl/newt
-    container_name: newt
-    restart: unless-stopped
-    environment:
-      - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
-      - NEWT_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy 
-      - NEWT_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2 
-```
-
-You can also pass the CLI args to the container:
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  newt:
-    image: fosrl/newt
-    container_name: newt
-    restart: unless-stopped
-    command:
-        - --id 31frd0uzbjvp721
-        - --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6
-        - --endpoint https://example.com
-```
-
-### Docker Socket Integration
-
-Newt can integrate with the Docker socket to provide remote inspection of Docker containers. This allows Pangolin to query and retrieve detailed information about containers running on the Newt client, including metadata, network configuration, port mappings, and more.
-
-**Configuration:**
-
-You can specify the Docker socket path using the `--docker-socket` CLI argument or by setting the `DOCKER_SOCKET` environment variable. On most linux systems the socket is `/var/run/docker.sock`
-
-If the Docker socket is not available or accessible, Newt will gracefully disable Docker integration and continue normal operation.
-
-### Updown
-
-You can pass in a updown script for Newt to call when it is adding or removing a target:
-
-`--updown "python3 test.py"`
-
-It will get called with args when a target is added: 
-`python3 test.py add tcp localhost:8556`
-`python3 test.py remove tcp localhost:8556`
-
-Returning a string from the script in the format of a target (`ip:dst` so `10.0.0.1:8080`) it will override the target and use this value instead to proxy.
-
-You can look at updown.py as a reference script to get started!
-
-### mTLS
-Newt supports mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication, if the server has been configured to request a client certificate.
-* Only PKCS12 (.p12 or .pfx) file format is accepted
-* The PKCS12 file must contain: 
-  * Private key
-  * Public certificate
-  * CA certificate
-* Encrypted PKCS12 files are currently not supported
-
-Examples:
-
-```bash
-./newt \
--id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
--secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
--endpoint https://example.com \
--tls-client-cert ./client.p12
-```
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  newt:
-    image: fosrl/newt
-    container_name: newt
-    restart: unless-stopped
-    environment:
-      - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
-      - NEWT_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy 
-      - NEWT_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2 
-      - TLS_CLIENT_CERT=./client.p12 
-```
-

+# Extensible Logger
+
+This logger package provides a flexible logging system that can be extended with custom log writers.
+
+## Basic Usage (Current Behavior)
+
+The logger works exactly as before with no changes required:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import "your-project/logger"
+
+func main() {
+    // Use default logger
+    logger.Info("This works as before")
+    logger.Debug("Debug message")
+    logger.Error("Error message")
+    
+    // Or create a custom instance
+    log := logger.NewLogger()
+    log.SetLevel(logger.INFO)
+    log.Info("Custom logger instance")
+}
+```
+
+## Custom Log Writers
+
+To use a custom log backend, implement the `LogWriter` interface:
+
+```go
+type LogWriter interface {
+    Write(level LogLevel, timestamp time.Time, message string)
+}
+```
+
+### Example: OS Log Writer (macOS/iOS)
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import "your-project/logger"
+
+func main() {
+    // Create an OS log writer
+    osWriter := logger.NewOSLogWriter(
+        "net.pangolin.Pangolin.PacketTunnel",
+        "PangolinGo",
+        "MyApp",
+    )
+    
+    // Create a logger with the OS log writer
+    log := logger.NewLoggerWithWriter(osWriter)
+    log.SetLevel(logger.DEBUG)
+    
+    // Use it just like the standard logger
+    log.Info("This message goes to os_log")
+    log.Error("Error logged to os_log")
+}
+```
+
+### Example: Custom Writer
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "time"
+    "your-project/logger"
+)
+
+// CustomWriter writes logs to a custom destination
+type CustomWriter struct {
+    // your custom fields
+}
+
+func (w *CustomWriter) Write(level logger.LogLevel, timestamp time.Time, message string) {
+    // Your custom logging logic
+    fmt.Printf("[CUSTOM] %s [%s] %s\n", timestamp.Format(time.RFC3339), level.String(), message)
+}
+
+func main() {
+    customWriter := &CustomWriter{}
+    log := logger.NewLoggerWithWriter(customWriter)
+    log.Info("Custom logging!")
+}
+```
+
+### Example: Multi-Writer (Log to Multiple Destinations)
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "time"
+    "your-project/logger"
+)
+
+// MultiWriter writes to multiple log writers
+type MultiWriter struct {
+    writers []logger.LogWriter
+}
+
+func NewMultiWriter(writers ...logger.LogWriter) *MultiWriter {
+    return &MultiWriter{writers: writers}
+}
+
+func (w *MultiWriter) Write(level logger.LogLevel, timestamp time.Time, message string) {
+    for _, writer := range w.writers {
+        writer.Write(level, timestamp, message)
+    }
+}
+
+func main() {
+    // Log to both standard output and OS log
+    standardWriter := logger.NewStandardWriter()
+    osWriter := logger.NewOSLogWriter("com.example.app", "Main", "App")
+    
+    multiWriter := NewMultiWriter(standardWriter, osWriter)
+    log := logger.NewLoggerWithWriter(multiWriter)
+    
+    log.Info("This goes to both stdout and os_log!")
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating Loggers
+
+- `NewLogger()` - Creates a logger with the default StandardWriter
+- `NewLoggerWithWriter(writer LogWriter)` - Creates a logger with a custom writer
+
+### Built-in Writers
+
+- `NewStandardWriter()` - Standard writer that outputs to stdout (default)
+- `NewOSLogWriter(subsystem, category, prefix string)` - OS log writer for macOS/iOS (example)
+
+### Logger Methods
+
+- `SetLevel(level LogLevel)` - Set minimum log level
+- `SetOutput(output *os.File)` - Set output file (StandardWriter only)
+- `Debug(format string, args ...interface{})` - Log debug message
+- `Info(format string, args ...interface{})` - Log info message
+- `Warn(format string, args ...interface{})` - Log warning message
+- `Error(format string, args ...interface{})` - Log error message
+- `Fatal(format string, args ...interface{})` - Log fatal message and exit
+
+### Global Functions
+
+For convenience, you can use global functions that use the default logger:
+
+- `logger.Debug(format, args...)`
+- `logger.Info(format, args...)`
+- `logger.Warn(format, args...)`
+- `logger.Error(format, args...)`
+- `logger.Fatal(format, args...)`
+- `logger.SetOutput(output *os.File)`
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+No changes needed! The logger maintains 100% backward compatibility. Your existing code will continue to work without modifications.
+
+If you want to switch to a custom writer:
+1. Create your writer implementing `LogWriter`
+2. Use `NewLoggerWithWriter()` instead of `NewLogger()`
+3. That's it!
