Another method is to forward a different port to local port 80, say
external:7654->192.168.0.4:80. This is the method I use and haven't seen any
unauthorized access (I also use a password, don't use this as your only
security!). This will also defeat any port blocking on port 80 that your ISP
may be implementing. Of course your router must support this kind of
forwarding, I use dd-wrt and it works a treat.
