I have to say that I'm not a Unix guru at all.
Well, I've inspected my computer and found a typo in the IPtables that left
the port 3128 open.
I think it should be OK now but I'm not certain. If someone can verify and
unblock me I'll be happy.
I would suggest to improve the proxy blocker :
- By reporting what kind of security hole was discovered,
- By adding a button to allow the blocked user to for a recheck of his
computer and unblock himself when the hole is fixed.

This seems easy enough to fix. The link above

we're testing a proxy, we should try to get the client to request

where 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is something that we can generate easily but
that's difficult for User:EvilUser to duplicate.
Additionally, it should probably be a POST request, so it can't be
embedded in an IMG tag anyway.
