ssh tunnel. Bind the "CGI" to localhost so that nothing can reach it
directly, then connect from outside with:

ssh -L 1234:localhost:1234 username at your_external_dns_name

and point your client at localhost:1234 on the box where you're
running the ssh process.

(If you're stuck with a non-command-line ssh, check its documentation
for local port forwarding.)

(Note - please check your email client settings and do not reply to me
directly. I sent this to the mailing list because I want conversation
to happen on the mailing list.)
