Use OpenNova app from outside local network

Hi all,

I am wondering how it could be possible to connect OpenNova App to OpenNova server from any location.

In the app, it is possible to enter any ip adress : ok, I have a fixed IP with my ISP. And with the internet box, I can managed port forwarding.
Now the question is about the port. Which port must be exactly be forwarded to the local server ? Is it safe ?
I think that opening port 80 on my box is very risky. Easy for a hacker to find the port open on my ip then he can access to my opennova webserver. And from here it is open bar to local network, no ?

What is your set up ?

My router (OpenWrt) supports WireGuard VPN server. So I just turn on the WireGuard VPN client on my phone and can reach my OpenNova server from anywhere with an internet connection. Very secure. No changes needed to OpenNova at all.
