  Packets that get sent to a home server.  Duplicate requests get counted twice.

  Mostly.

  Again, only packets which get proxied are counted as proxied requests.

  If you're proxying the inner session, then there will be many more incoming packets than proxied packets.  This is because it takes a number of packets to set up there outer TLS tunnel, but the inner MS-CHAP is just one packet.
