Okay so when I'm on an outside computer I can logon to the console by entering the IP addy and add :9999

then abyss asks for the login and password.

1. How safe is this
2. can I block 9999 with my firewall and stop outside access to the console?

All depends on your password. If you have a hard to guess one, there will be no problem.

You can block the port using your router or a firewall if you want.
