On: Easy HTTPS for your private networks

[nine_k]

This sounds very much like the famous HN comment saying that Dropbox is unnecessary because you can construct an analog using rsync and half-dozen other tools.

It's like saying that having a chair is unnecessary because you have a log, an axe, a saw, etc, and can build a sit to your liking when need be.

The thing is that when the need actually comes to be, you want a seat right now and of a known working kind, and strongly prefer a comfortable one. So thank the carpenter.

The thing is when you build a private network you want it to be private.

The thing is when you are securing a network you are building things with powerful tools.

Thing is using powerful tools can backfire badly.
