Reminder: the cross-network access will require SubSonic Server 5.0 and above, due to a bug in the CORS implementation in 4.9. Currently the password is sent using the enc mode, which is not entirely secure, so I recommend you create an account with 0 privileges solely for use with SubFire Player and change the password regularly. HTTPS *should* work, but I have not tested it yet.
