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

Totally get the concern. I used to rely on curl ignore cert a lot, but now I avoid it unless I’m testing locally.

For safer testing, I’d recommend using a tool like Charles Proxy. It lets you inspect HTTPS traffic without disabling cert checks.

Also, if you’re on a public network, always use a VPN. Better safe than sorry, right?
