Best Practices for Using a curl Proxy: How to Set It Up and Avoid Common Issues?

Hey, great thread! I’ve been using curl proxy setups for a while now, and one thing that saved me is using tools like Postman or Insomnia for testing. They let you visually configure proxies and see responses without messing with the command line.

Also, for debugging, try adding `-v` (verbose) to your curl command. It’s a lifesaver when you’re stuck and need to see what’s happening under the hood.

If you’re dealing with SOCKS proxies, check out proxychains. It’s a CLI tool that makes handling SOCKS proxies way easier.
