Port 20220 is used for nmea0183 communication and is useful for route following since opencpn can send these messages.
Instead, you can control heading changes and everything else from tcp port 21311. This is exactly how pypilot_lcd works. You can run it with the screen disabled, and it will still read from gpio and send commands to the autopilot over the network. Normally it connects to the localhost but it can be configured to use a remote host.
There is currently no app-level security, instead for now, you can use an encrypted wifi network. It's a nice idea but I'm not really sure what the use case is.
