I'm disappointed that maas being an open proxy isn't mentioned anywhere in the 
documentation, that I could find. It should be mentioned in big bold red 
letters, maybe blink or marquee. The, "not designed to be run on the internet" 
is fine, but it should be well documented and so should the reason why. Many 
corporate networks are just as sensitive to internal security issues as they 
are to exposing public internet. Having an open proxy in their private network 
may harm their intranet security design.

We (team yellow) are running maas on an host on the internet. I
customized the squid config that maas-proxy uses to prevent it from
proxying for internet source request. I suspect that the next maas
update will replace those changes, so I also added iptables rules to
block traffic to those ports from the internet.
