Checked your proxy lately?

Hi all,

While I'm sure you've all got your systems setup securely, I've noticed that 
recently there is more noise in my logs from HTTP proxy requests than I get 
for ssh attacks. AFAIK, I'm not running an open proxy. 

The origin of these requests are primarily China. Do I nned to spell out the 
risks here?

It may be worth having a wee check of your logs/configs?
