Why not use an Apache reverse proxy
(mod_proxy/ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse) setup in front of the
SqueezeCenter web service? You can make the Apache httpd accessible
remotely, and configure it to require password authentication if you're
not on the local network.

That said, it's better to use the password protection built into
SqueezeCenter even for local network connections -- let your web
browser "remember" the username & password if you like. Password
protection helps protect you against some web attack vectors, most
notably DNS Rebinding. That said, 6.5.x has a number of vulnerabities
even with password protection enabled, and I haven't seen any real
evidence of any attackers exploiting the vulnerabilities.
