Using curl with proxy is a great way to stay anonymous, and you’re on the right track with the `-x` flag. For HTTPS proxies, it works the same way, but make sure the proxy supports HTTPS.
For authentication, `-U username:password` is correct, but you can also use `--proxy-user` for clarity. If you’re worried about security, consider using environment variables to store credentials instead of hardcoding them in the command.
Check out tools like Postman or Fiddler if you want a GUI-based alternative to curl with proxy. They make it easier to test proxies and debug requests.
