About relying on the developer to provide the relay server (this was early 2022):
The cost of croc is mostly bandwidth - over 8 terabytes of data is sent every month through croc! That's amazing to me since I started this project just as a way for me to share files with friends. Four years ago, the public relay server only costed $5/month, but now it is costing me $40-50/month. The higher cost is enabling file transfers for thousands of people all around the world.
