Sorry for jumping in on this thread so late.  But I use a method to
secure mythweb that I haven't seen suggested on here.

I suggest to use ssh tunneling.  The box running mythweb shouldn't be
accessible from the internet at all.  Not through a proxy, not from an
off port...  ssh to a machine on the local network (a Bastian host)
and then use the tunnel to connect to mythweb on your lan.

ssh -L8080:mythwebbox:80 someaddresshere
http://localhost:8080/mythweb


This keeps the box running mythweb off the internet and keeps my
traffic to/from mythweb (while off my home lan) secured via my ssh
tunnel.
