Download Diffie-Hellman parameters from a public DH parameter generation service?

Generating DH parameters for a $ENCRYPT-bit key can take many hours on a Raspberry Pi. You can instead download DH parameters from "2 Ton Digital" that are generated at regular intervals as part of a public service. Downloaded DH parameters will be randomly selected from a pool of the last 128 generated.
More information about this service can be found here: https://2ton.com.au/dhtool/

If you're paranoid, choose 'No' and Diffie-Hellman parameters will be generated on your device.

  • Change default from "no" to "yes," since it's perfectly safe for 99% of users (Reverted to "no" being default)
  • Be a bit more specific about what "a long time" means
  • Provide a bit of information about the service
  • Provide a link to read more about the service

Let me know if you'd any of the wording changed.

- Be a bit more specific about what "a long time" means

Hi, thanks for contributing. I previously discussed this with @0-kaladin (the maintainer of PiVPN) and they thought it should default to 'no'. The rest looks good.
