Your squid proxy tried to connect to 63.240.81.5, but the connection
failed because the connection packet was filtered.

The ICMP error was returned by 207.159.62.1, which is a router or
firewall somewhere between your server and 63.240.81.5.
I believe the "INCOMPLETE" is netfilter's connection tracking system
telling you the TCP connection never completely opened. This makes
sense, since your server probably only sent the initial SYN before
receiving the ICMP error (instead of the expected SYN+ACK).
