Hey
I am wondering if this is a coincidence but since I started the tor relay, I see a lot of TCP/8118 connections attempts on my relay's external IP.
I run the offending source IPs (aggregated to /24s) through cymru's ip-to-asn decoder and here are results of only today:

There were almost 200k SYN packets sent for the last 15h from the 228 unique IP addresses.
Would that be part of tor project? I have never run privoxy on my network and I am not really sure what the relation between tor and privoxy is? Can somebody shine some light on that?
