First thing is to look up the docs on how to read your logs.
first is source ip
next usually 2 of - for information not known one item is username when
you are using htaccess
next is time - obviously
next is request cab be get, put, post, connect, whatever
request to another site would be a proxy attempt - I get lots of those
request to a page on your site would be normal
anything other than get or head is abnormal
next is http version
next is the critical item - the return code
look these up 200 means your server did the requested job oops
next is the length of the page which your server returned to the source

I like to have referrer information as well, so I use the log format
'combined'

I'm not an expert, but it looks to me like you do have an open proxy. Easy
mistake to make, and simple to fix.
I had mine accidentally open when I first set it up - was getting thousands
of hits per day until I figured out where the error was.
Seems it was on by default 'out of the box' and I did not catch that.
I don't have my apache logs and configs available right now, but I can check
them if you need more detail, and specifically which configs to change.
