Pissed

Welp, I figured out what was wrong with the server.  About a month ago Fritzy decided to enable mod_proxy and then comment out the part of the config that kept the box from becoming an open proxy.  So we had thousands of proxy requests running through this server querying what I can only assume is less than legal content, using this server as a buffer to mask identity.

I have a feeling it will take a LOT longer to fall off whatever ‘open proxy’ lists we made it onto than it did to make it onto the list.  The next few weeks should be fun while the server has to deal with millions of (now) invalid proxy requests.  I’m terrified to even look at the logs to see what was being downloaded through this server.   Probably lots of viruses and child porn.
Hooray for misconfigurations!
