John:

It looks like an attempt to find an open proxy server. TCP port 6588 is
used by the AnalogX Proxy server, TCP port 1080 is used by SOCKS.

If your firewall is blocking it, you probably have nothing to worry about

Make sure none of your machines are running these servers openly to the
internet.

I use squid (TCP port 3128), but make sure to do ingress blocking of port
3128.

Regards.
