Hey! I had the same issue when I started using curl with proxy. The `-x` flag is correct, but for HTTPS proxies, ensure the proxy itself supports HTTPS tunneling.
For authentication, `-U` works, but you can also use `--proxy-user`. If you're dealing with sensitive data, avoid putting credentials directly in the command. Instead, use a config file or environment variables.
Also, check out https://curl.se/docs/ for the official docs—super helpful for beginners.
