TIME_WAIT is normal to be seen a lot. Those is completed and done with
connections witch the TCP stack keeps a record of to deal properly with
delayed packets. The TCP standard requires these to be kept for at least
2 minutes in most cases.

Should not have much of an impact. But you may need to increase the
range of free ports on the proxy as each blocks one outgoing port on the
proxy.. (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range on Linux)
