Curl with proxy is such a game-changer! I use it for debugging API calls all the time. One thing I’d add is to use `--proxy-header` if you need to add custom headers to your proxy requests. It’s super useful for bypassing certain restrictions. Also, check out https://www.proxyrack.com/ for affordable proxy options.

Thanks for the awesome tips, everyone! I tried using curl with proxy for scraping some geo-restricted content, and it worked like a charm. I used a few proxies from https://www.proxynova.com/, and the speed was surprisingly good. One question though—how do you guys handle proxy rotation in curl? Is there a way to automate it without writing a script?
