Using a proxy to secure API access with TLS or IP limiting.

**Why is this important?**
|
||||
The backend API (`:20212`) is powerful. The backend has more capabilities than the Web UI which is a safer, and password-protectable interface. By using a reverse proxy to **limit sources** (e.g., allowing only your Home Assistant server's IP), you ensure that only trusted devices can talk to your backend.
