As long as you allow unauthorized users to connect to users as the
users run servers, this kind of thing can, and will, happen. One
way to address it is to disallow servers, and block incoming new
connections to those machines at the firewall (assuming they are
coming in from outside). Of course some kinds of connections, like
FTP, have to come in, and firewalls deal with that. You want to
block the unauthorized proxy use.
