try coast for a start:

and for socks try the homepage, which has decent docs:
http://www.socks.nec.com/
as to software to use, I reccommend SSH for remote logins:
http://www.ssh.fi/
and here is the Faq for SSH:

Patching RH 6.0 is a must before you bring it online, as there are many
holes in it. See their Errata page at:
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata/
Also for an excellent overview of securing linux you can try
these links:
Trinity OS, how to harden linux:

IPchains homepage:

Encryption for Red Hat:

Good luck.
