Ever wondered where those huge lists of mostly-broken public proxies come from? I don't, anymore. I saw a server become compromised by a rootkit, and appear in one of those lists. A badly thought-out apache configuration also made a different server of mine appear in one of those lists, and even after I fixed it, I was getting 403's for months from people trying to use it as a proxy.
Those lists are full of computers that are, or were, compromised. My advice? Get your own.
