curl with proxy can be a bit of a puzzle, but here’s what I’d suggest:
- Double-check the proxy address and port. A typo there can mess everything up.
- Use `curl --socks5` if your proxy supports SOCKS5. It’s often faster and more reliable.
- Test the proxy with a simple command like `curl -x http://proxy:port http://ifconfig.me` to see if it’s working.
If you’re still stuck, maybe try a different proxy provider. Some are just more reliable than others.
