musikbox ships with a streaming audio server enabled by default. it runs a websocket server on port 7905, used for metadata retrieval. an http server runs on port 7906, and is used to serve (optionally transcoded) audio data to clients.
**it's important to understand that, out of the box, the remote api should NOT be considered safe for use outside of a local network**. the websockets service only supports a simple password challenge, and the audio http server just handles Basic authorization. it does not provide ssl or tls. the server also stores the password in plain text in a settings file on the local machine.

you can fix some of this using a reverse proxy to provide ssl termination. details in the [ssl-server-setup section](https://github.com/clangen/musikcube/wiki/ssl-server-setup). while this improves things, you should exercise caution exposing these services over the internet.
