I have gotten a complaint that 207.142.131.228 is or was attempting to use a proxy at 212.185.189.154. How can that be?
It is important that we not probe third parties for open proxies under most circumstances. It might be appropriate if we are experiencing direct abuse ourselves and we're trying to track down why, but as a matter of routine, it causes us to get complaints which will get us in big trouble with our isp.
