Hey there! Just wanted to chime in—curl proxy issues are super common. If the `-x` flag isn’t working, try using `--proxy` instead. Sometimes it’s more reliable:
`curl --proxy http://myproxy:port http://example.com`
Also, if you’re dealing with HTTPS, make sure your proxy supports it. Some proxies only handle HTTP traffic, which could explain the timeout.
For global settings, you can also use a `.curlrc` file in your home dir and add:
```
proxy = http://myproxy:port
```
This way, curl picks it up automatically.
`curl --proxy http://myproxy:port http://example.com`
