Not really an issue, but I wondered whether you could give any advice on this statement in your readme file

A word about security IFTTN has a very simple authentication mechanism built in using a user and a password. I strongly recommend to use some kind of reverse proxy in front of your if-this-then-node instance which is accessible using HTTPS. If you do that, please note that IFTTT does not accept self-signed certificates!

Ive got if-this-then-node working - and it all works well. Now Im wondering about security. Should I be worrying about this?
