    From the doc:

    Active - the proxy will connect to the Zabbix server and request configuration data
    Passive - Zabbix server connects to the proxy
    Note that (sensitive) proxy configuration data may become available to parties having access to the Zabbix server trapper port when using an active proxy. This is possible because anyone may pretend to be an active proxy and request configuration data; authentication does not take place.
