You could build an autoportal. The basic concept is two dispensers, one filled with fire charges (to turn on the portal) and one with a water bucket (to turn it off). The benefits of such a construct is that you don't have to listen to the screams all the time when you're in the area, and of course if there's no portal then no mobs can go through AND no overworld pigmen can spawn (pigmen can spawn on the portal itself, making it appear as if they portaled in)
If that's not your thing, put doors on the portal. This will only prevent overworld mobs from getting into the nether, but at least when the pigmen spawn they should be corralled in the portal frame.

1. Real name or nickname, what should we call you? You can call me Nerd, because my IGN is Nerdtastic_
2. Age? 13
3. Skype? dctyrig
4. Country or time zone? USA, Central (US & Canada)
5. Will you take this position seriously? Yes! Of course!
6. Why do you want this position? I want this position because I believe that I can help out the server as much as possible. I think that I would be a good help in certain things like ideas on what to build and helping players with questions, etc. etc. .
7. Prior experience in admin positions? I do have experience, which I will list in the spoiler below.
Senior Admin - Vortex Universe Minigames
Head Admin - Vortex Universe Factions
Manager - TitaniumNetwork
Admin - ArcticFactions
Admin - EonNetwork
8. Are you willing to work alongside other admins and learn new skills? Yes! I love learning new things and meeting new people.
9. What would you consider your greatest weakness? I believe my greatest weakness would have to be my building skill. I am experienced in coming up with ideas for builds, but I don't think I'm a very good builder.
10. What would you consider your greatest strength? My greatest strength would have to be my friendliness. As a result of loving to meet new people, I have learned to be very polite, which will lead me to being able to answer questions from players and fellow staff members in a friendly and kind way.
11. Describe your personality to us. As said above, I am very kind and friendly. I can provide a bit of humor here and there, as well. When someone is breaking the rules, I believe that you can be strict without being rude, so I try and be strict but kind as much as possible.
12. Why should we chose you? I think you should choose me because I have a good amount of experience in the role of Admin, and I believe that I have good leadership skills.
