How to safely use 'curl ignore cert' for testing without compromising security?

Yeah, curl ignore cert is a double-edged sword. Super handy but also super dangerous.

I’d only use it in a controlled environment, like a local VM or Docker container. For public networks, nah, don’t risk it.

If you’re testing APIs, maybe try out tools like Paw or Hoppscotch. They’re more secure and easier to use than curl.
