Subject: Cipher the private key in peers wg0.conf ?
Date: Wed, 16 May 2018 12:53:27 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]

Actually, in wg0.conf the private key is defined in clear text. Which allows dump of physical disk to grab it
and to fake this client.
Wouldn't it be safer, to cipher the private key somehow ?
