I've notice that I've success generating .key and .pem files and running Live Server in VS Code. But, I also noticed that Openssl was already downloaded on my Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2. Originally, the platform Openssl was on was debian-amd64 but after following the instructions on https://cloudwafer.com/blog/installing-openssl-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04/ it is running on linux-x86_64.

My question is, why would I need to do this setup and why is it allowing me to have host servers with https? I'm confused why I need to do this installation in the first place. It seems I had Openssl and could generate the key and .pem file.

Any advice or guidance on this would be helpful.
