That's a good point, another one is people using your proxy to attack other servers.

I find the proxy area to be interesting but something I'm unlikely to use for business, you are quoting some examples that made me laugh, and I'd certainly laugh if it happens to me, but I know I will remove the public access, if I were involved in business with this, the story would be different.

Thanks for sharing.
