Packet filter blocking squid packets to Internal?

I've seen entries like this in my packet filter log, and I can find NO explanation for them:

Source IP: MY internal IP adress for the Astaro Security Gateway (v 6.202SW) PORT 8080 (Squid) -> An Internal IP adress of some computer browsing the internet PORT XXXX (BLOCKED - RED)

How can You explain this? my ASG is blocking packets from its internal interface using the http proxy (SQUID) port to the internal computers?

The internal computers are using ASG_INTERNAL_ADRESS:8080 as their proxy, and so far there has been no browsing problems.

HTTP Proxy is configured in standard mode, no authentication, surf protection: only AV and Spyware.

What could cause these packet blocks? is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

I have the problem too.
Do you use IPS?

Your internal client tries to connect to a internal system via the proxy of the firewall.
Just tell the client not to use the proxy for targets in the sames subnet.
