This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I spun up OpenVPN on a Digital Ocean droplet 7-years ago. LOL, no longer have any idea how it works, but it's $6/mo. and never dies. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

There have been a number of (I'll admit, not high-risk) security updates since then.

Yeah, keep up on those.

I use a Hetzner VPS ($5, ha!) as a VPN and run updates every month or two. It only takes a minute and you could automate it if you want.
