        I've simply added a pass rule for connections from 80 on a external
host to 3372 on some of the local hosts (i.e., the web proxy). It works, and I
don't think I'm being much more vulnerable by ignoring these connections.
Besides, the 3372 is closed on the firewall by default, so that's another
reason to be sure about that :-)
