Actually, NTLM is resistant to sniffing.

Also - what's wrong with "allow from"? Why not drop requiring
authentication, and just restrict it to the appropriate IP addresses?

Finally, if you actually control the server, why not just run OpenVPN
directly on it, and route via it to the other sites?

i.e. client - > router-instead-of-proxy->end server
