Hey! I feel you on the curl proxy struggles. I’ve been using the `-x` flag too, but sometimes it’s just not enough.
One thing that helped me was rotating proxies. I use a tool like [ProxyRack](https://www.proxyrack.com/) to get a list of fresh IPs. It’s a game-changer for avoiding bans. Also, tweaking the `--max-time` and `--retry` flags in curl can help with timeouts.
For debugging, I’d recommend checking the proxy logs or using `--verbose` to see what’s going on under the hood. Hope this helps!
