There is no way to generate your own private key with Wireguard on Mullvad VPN. You must use their key generator which potentially means they have your private key. This is no good, many privacy minded people use this service and it is even recommended by privacytools.io. @jonah perhaps this is of concern to you.
@mister_monster
Only way to know how its all done in backend, maybe whole key generation process thing is encrypted using your account number, meaning that Mullvad doesn't even know your public keys, just their hashes, same with private keys

Okay, that doesn't make sence now that I think about it, they need your public key in clear to make connection. I guess there is some workaround, I don't think they store private keys in plaintext eitherway. They let you create your own private/public key pair on router configs,and they never ask for private key. So I guess in the ens there is some good explanation for this
@nikolal I'm hoping (and thinking it is very likely) that key generation is done client side in the browser, or in the mullvad app, and only the public key is sent to them.
@mister_monster Yeah, me too. I've been using mullvad over year, it would be such waste if they didn't do that properly
