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

20 Replies, 1587 Views

Hey, great tips in the OP! One thing I’d add is to use `--socks5-hostname` if you’re using a SOCKS5 proxy. It handles DNS resolution differently and can save you from weird DNS issues.

Also, for debugging, I use mitmproxy. It’s a bit advanced, but it lets you inspect and modify HTTP/HTTPS traffic in real-time. Super handy for curl proxy setups.

And yeah, always double-check your credentials. I’ve spent way too long troubleshooting only to realize I had a typo in my username.
