Hmm.. perhaps not re-engineer the network entirely. Sometimes you
have to adapt to the ever changing landscape (nothing is ever
static, after all), and sometimes you are forced to work around the
perceived limitations imposed by the tools you really want to use.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I have a similar setup with the
proxy server here (requiring authentication for internet browsing
access), but have whitelisted my frontend systems so as to not
require, use, or even know about the proxy server. I'm not sure if
your environment that is possible to configure, and I know that
represents a 'one-off' on your configuration, but it might be an
option...<br>

Ah! Good to know! It is nuggets like this that make the list so
valuable. :)<br>
