This is the problem:


if i start apache2 (/etc/init.d/apache2 start ) my computer goes slower.

I've checked all the logs, and ps and this stuff : conclusion :

somehow i have a proxy on the apache2 that each time I start an apache2 it starts a bunch of `httpd -k start`

Then on my /var/log/apache2/access.log apears like this :

i've installed, updated and ran rkhunter and i've got nothing. Any ideas?

thanks for reading.

Ok, my own answer

I have de mod_proxy and it needs some security configuration, nothing else. And all the incoming traffic was becouse my mod_proxy appeared on a "open proxy list" , 167 entrances on google.


mod_proxy - Apache HTTP Server


Cheers.

Good to know you sorted out. Do you really need mod_proxy? If so it is better allow only connections from localhost or proxy upstream server. I guess you have already configured it.

I don't know If I need mod_proxy, on this server there is a plone farm installed by another person who leaved the company long ago.

Then now it's on my hands check this thing and I don't know where to start, any suggestions?

thanks

Here is the link to the apache stuff:

mod_proxy - Apache HTTP Server


and this is my /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf

(Bold is mine)

I don't think so you need proxy server. The simple way to disable it by typing following at a shell prompt:
Many modules are installed by default and not required at all. It appears that your server acting as open proxy. If there is any problem, you can simply turn it on again by typing following two command:
access.log and error.log are important files to find out all errors / warning.

Anyway, nice time I'll use those nice commands.
