The solution we use is too expensive for just two computers but it does hide your "proxy" identity. We use a product called Gallentree Web Server. The version we have is a complete webserver box for $600. The software version is probably cheaper. It uses a version of UNIX and firewall protected connects our small office. The reason I bring this up is that it uses a protocol called Network Address Traslation. IP requests are simply translated - NO PROXY and so no proxy detection. It's slick. Since this is a UNIX thing maybe it is avaliable in a software solution.

It is impossible to make programs idiot proof. Idiots are too cleaver.
