Perhaps, just a suggestion, this topic is more suited to your webserver's forum (apache2 in your case) rather than weewx forum - since in the case of weewx there is no access TO weewx FROM anywhere - either LAN or WAN. As said before weewx PUTS your webpages wherever you tell it to put them, and uses FTP or RSYNC to copy the files to other devices (servers) elsewhere if necessary.
Since you are so security conscious I assume you do not use a smartphone!!
