But you can do all that with Apache and .htaccess and if your ISP keeps
changing your IP address (mine doesn't) with a DNS service for that.

Free.

And without running someone else's software on your machine or limiting
access to people who also run that software.

THis is a bit of intermediation, in a process whcih doesn't really need it.
