No. This is a good thing.

Using a proxy service on a firewall machine. My home LAN has Squid from
http://www.nlanr.net/Squid running on the gateway machine providing ftp,
http and gopher proxy services. For news I run plug-gw from the TIS
firewalls toolkit available at ftp.tis.com (make sure to get both the
source archive *AND* the documentation archive).

People on the outside can't get in an snoop. Great limitation.
At home I also run raproxy from RealAudio and have plug-gw's set up for
Compuserve and AOL access.
