- arandomusername 3y agoUsing private keys is not simple? sudo apt-get install ufw and ufw allow https is not simple? The whole process takes maybe 30-60 minutes to setup for someone completely new and following guides. Render's is simple, true, you just pay $300 for 1TB of bandwidth. It's crazy how much Merchants of Complexity fooled devs into thinking that running your own server is complicated and you need to pay 1000x to save few minutes of your time.
