        Quite frankly, Wingate is one of the more secure windows options, you just
have to know how to set it up. Older versions left services open by default,
the new versions leave barely anything open to the internal LAN, never mind
the net. I run Wingate and I've tried scanning my machine and doing other
sorts of things, of the ports that were open (I only had one that I
purposely opened for my web server) nothing was open, in fact most common
ports didn't even connect. TTYL
