Actually why don't we use nano instead of micro? @nitrocode

@sanarena could this be merged?

@dumrauf is the master!

Sorry for the long delay @nitrocode and @sanarena.

So, the main reason for using t2.micro in the first place was that - because I'm cheap! And that particular instance type is included in the AWS free tier. Which means that if you spin up the resources in this project in a new AWS account, you get 12 months of your DIY OpenVPN server for free.

I'm not sure if the same can be said for a t3.nano instance. However, I see the point around using a cheaper instance type in case you're paying out of pocket.

Thanks! TIL

AWS Free Tier

As part of the AWS Free Tier, you can get started with EC2 for free. This includes 750 hours of Linux and Windows t2.micro instances (t3.micro for the regions in which t2.micro is unavailable), each month for one year. To stay within the Free Tier, use only EC2 Micro instances.
