Re: Some bad and unfortunate news
I agree something should be done about this. If you're going to encrypt the key, it needs to be encrypted uniquely for each user. If it's encrypted with some sort of master key, since the code is open-source, in theory anyone could decrypt it, so you're no better off. What should probably happen is that it generates a profile of hardware attributes unique to your computer I.E. MAC address of your network interface, hard drive serial number, etc. and maybe some less unique things like amount of RAM, number of CPU cores, etc. This is the sort of things copy protection systems do. Then, this unique computer profile is used as the encryption key. So if someone downloads the file containing your key, the encrypted data is useless, even if they have the same type of computer with the same specs. If relevant hardware changes in your computer, you lose the auto connect setting but can just put it in again.
