Definitely an outbound connection

 value="52FC3B9C" showvalue="82.252.59.156" /> <field name="dst" longname="Destination address" size="4" pos="30"

On most firewall I know, applying a rule does not interrupt an active session.
I'd first reset all sessions, and then recheck firewall rules are correctly applied.
Next, change firewall/filtering tecnology.

Oggetto: Re: [Pinguzilla] Weird Traffic

Well... I got the results of an 11hr TCPDUMP run.. and it shows...
NOTHING.. a couple of probes, lots of network traffic (router messages, ARP requests, Windows NETBIOS noise from my 
ISP's lan) only got a few probes today... apparently the FW rules shut down most of the traffic for now.

What is weird is this: my ipfw has this

07700 deny log ip from 82.0.0.0/8 to any 07800 deny log ip from any to 82.0.0.0/8



yet the TCP dump shows this:

John,

 I am running late for my real job :) but when i come back Ill run 
some more test and post the results.

BTW, 1.5 GB transferred yesterday. there is no way this is valid web 
or ftp traffic...  something is proxying through my box...

Im sure of it

Jonathan,

I'd be curious to get a copy of the list of networks that you're 
seeing this traffic from. I work for a large managed security service 
provider and I could cross reference these networks against data that 
we're seeing from our corporate customers.

Regards,
-john

All,

 I have a leased server I use to host some websites and for the past 
week I have been getting traffic warnings. The server has been 
transferring > 1GB of data per day, which is unusually high, 
especially since I moved my mail to Google Apps. I have noticed a 
ridiculous amount of attempted proxying attemptes in my logs, but I 
do not have mod proxy turned on. I suspect my server is on some 
list.  I firewalled off a large number of subnets from China and my 
traffic dropped for a few days, then this morning, 2735MB 
transferred in 24 hrs.

 As of right now, I am planning to blackhole all China traffic, 
since thats where most of this is comming from, along with the 
occasional traffic from France and other places in Eur. Is this 
common?  If so are there any other remedies?
