I really thought this was a reference to the dropbox showhn - "you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

  But in this case it actually is a onliner to spin up a VPN and the relevant mobile/PC client apps are already there. One click deploy scripts are available for digital ocean, AWS, GCP, Azure etc. This OG Dropbox comment was too snarky, for a genuine use case, the solutions in those comments were actually complicated than using Dropbox, while spinning up your own VPN is actually safer and better wrt streaming services etc, not easy but serves the purpose in a safer and better way.

    There are plenty of VPN users “intersect” never used the command line. And maybe a smaller set like me who are geeks but prefer not to manage their own server even from a script. As if using such a script means no problems and you wont be googling for why x y or z isn’t working.
