is wingate firewall good enough protection?

[JayP]

I'm sharing the internet with Wingate which is a proxy server. It has NAT and router capabilities built into it. The firewall settings gives an option on choosing what level of security you to use (the firewall). None, Low, Med, High etc. Does this mean that only the server is protected or ALL clients accessing the internet through that computer are as well? Or should I be using Zone Alarm on all client computers?

No, wingate has too many security holes in it to be a good firewall.

I would suggest using a good software firewall on it aswell (but that still won't cover all the holes)

iuse win route which is kinda same and firewall it(the server)
3rd party soft a
nd still use the firewalling capabilities in winroute, mostly on like low with that i just run scans from those security sites and packet filiter till i get dead responses.

i hadto mess with the settings in winroute firewall to get everything through, like UT

additionally I run firewalls on each of my nat clients for content/ referblocks, etc and such , just to be sure

nat is really secure though and nothing bad picks up on the on the clients, its my server i always worry about even if i have that thing really hardened
as far as that butragstuff just make sure u change your wingate admin pass afterinstall and delete all other access
