"Django" is actually your WSGI server (gunicorn, uwsgi etc.).

Apache *is* the proxy server in this case. Your WSGI server should be running 
on an IP address that's never reachable from the external network, even if 
Apache disappears. Either loopback if Apache and WSGI are on the same server, 
or internal firewalled IP if not.

That's what firewalls are for. Block port 80 if security only allows HTTPS 
traffic to your website.
