What I'm thinkin about is that this trusted third party could sell more than once this id code, and then you could end up being associated with the web activity of criminals.
Even if Mullvad is pseudonymous and don't register users activity we have to trust them for that, and maybe that some big spying entity could still have access to Mullvad servers and wrongly associate our navigation with the one from criminals.
I understand, and I looked at who made this tool before, and he seems decent. But yep, don't trust, verify.
Also if they are selling my ID to others, I would know because each configuration has its key and shows the created time. 👀
Maybe use the Bitcoin payment within Mullvad if you are worried about the risk.

hum interesting so risks are even lower that what I thought cause you can see that your key has been generated at the good time, ok thanks
Yep I'm paying on-chain within Mullvad :)

After you pointed this out to me, I learned a way to against this risk - so you can actually purchase a voucher there and then redeem the voucher without even giving away the account number.
