Mhttpd is a web server, period.
I would in any case use password protection on the URL and this, of
course, in https mode. Whatever other protection you think is necessary
you can do yourself on the respective web page.
I am running my mhttpds unprivileged and using sudo for critical parts,
this is not perfect but at least just breaking mhttpds does not give you
direct root access.
You could also use some form of knockd to trigger something to wake up
your PC. I have not done that but it might be possible.
