Access Fibaro Home center API from internet (out of the home network)

Hi All

I'm new in fibaro and I'm working to develop an app that integrate with fibaro Home Center, and I can't find any document that can describe if I can access the Hub from internet (remote access) without any change in the home router, but as long as Fibaro has own app that can access the Hub that's mean there is one, and my question is that one open to use for all users or only for Fibaro internal and if it's open any document for that.

If you want to access the HC3 outside your network you have to open ports on your router, but this is insecure and not recommended! I would create a QA that talks to your secure webservice or create a VPN to your home and access the HC3 over this secure VPN.
