That's what I figured.  I thought I'd take the opportunity to badmouth
Twisted and Autobahn anyway.

I don't think we'll have much, if anything, directly facing the Internet
in this project.  When I mentioned using a reverse proxy like nginx, I
did so only for the sake of completeness.  We should be fine with
Waitress by itself.  Directly connecting a TangerineSDR to the Internet
(KiwiSDR-style) should be considered an advanced task.  Actually,
security gets a little better then, because such a user should actually
get an HTTPS certificate.
