I’ve had mixed results with transparent proxies. They’re awesome for caching and reducing load on the server, but they can introduce latency if not configured properly.
One thing to watch out for is SSL/TLS—some proxies struggle with encrypted traffic, which can slow things down. If you’re dealing with HTTPS, make sure your proxy supports it.
I’d recommend looking into [HAProxy](http://www.haproxy.org/) if you need something robust and flexible.
