I recommend the TIS (freeware) firewall toolkit, as it's a full proxy firewall, with SSH (freeware also) for the things that you need to be able to tunnel through for. I would not try to set it up myself, though. There are too many ways a simple mistake can leave you wide open. Contact Mike Hamilton at Network Commerce 818-889-9985 for a good security consultant who makes his bread on FreeBSD. He'll be worth his pay many times over.
