Yes, that is because proxy,com does not belong to you - it points to someone 
else's machine, not *your* Squid server.

And, I repeat (especially now that this IP address has been discussed on a 
public mailing list) you URGENTLY need to review your firewall rules on that 
machine, because Squid is accepting requests from anyone.

It is even *proxying web pages* requested by *anyone*.

If you do not understand what I am telling you, or if you do not know how to 
change your firewall rules on that machine, *stop running Squid on it NOW* and 
do not turn it on again until you know how to secure it.
