If devices behind an L3 proxy generate packets that end in the "public" Internet or if they get packets originated 
there, IMHO those devices are also part of the Internet not just the proxy, and you also may have that proxy for 
particular protocols but not all.

That means behind a NAT counts, behind a firewall counts, but a true private network (two PC's into an L2 switch with 
no other connections) does not, even if they use IP protocols.  Note that devices behind a pure L3 proxy do not 
count, but the L3 proxy itself counts.
