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

Oh man, I feel you on the curl proxy struggles! One thing I’d add is to always check your environment variables. Sometimes `http_proxy` or `https_proxy` vars can mess with your setup if they’re set globally.

Also, for testing, I use httpbin.org. It’s a simple site that echoes back your requests, so you can see if your proxy is working correctly.

And yeah, timeouts are a pain. I usually start with `--max-time 10` and adjust from there.
