Transparent is a good word but it means something completely different:

  A "transparent proxy" is a proxy that does not modify the request or
  response beyond what is required for proxy authentication and
  identification.

This is a citation from RFC2616 which defines the HTTP protocol. Since we
are talking about HTTP protocol, we should use words as they are defined
there, otherwise it could lead to misunderstandings.
