Sygate is good enough for personal use (although for
more demanding tasks I'd rather prefer the Kerio PF)
in any case for server needs I can suggest you to give
CHX-I a try http://www.idrci.net/idrci_products.htm it's
free for personal (non commercial) use and comes with
some good examples *and* if used along with IIS it will
give you the needed protection to build a professionally
"protected" web site; give it a spin (and let me know)
