Struggling with curl proxy settings? How do I properly configure a curl proxy for my requests?

Hey! Quick tip: if your curl proxy is timing out, it might be a DNS issue. Try adding `--proxy-dns` to your command:
`curl -x http://myproxy:port --proxy-dns http://example.com`

Also, if you’re on Windows, you can set the proxy globally using the `set` command in CMD:
```
set http_proxy=http://myproxy:port
set https_proxy=http://myproxy:port
```

If you’re still stuck, check out [curl’s official docs](https://curl.se/docs/). They’ve got a ton of examples for proxy setups.
