Hey there! I’ve been down the curl proxy rabbit hole too. One thing that’s saved me is using a tool like [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) to test my proxy configs before jumping into curl. It’s way more visual and helps catch issues early.
Also, if you’re dealing with slow speeds, try switching to a SOCKS5 proxy instead of HTTP. It’s faster and more reliable for some use cases. Just use the `--socks5` flag instead of `-x`.
Good luck, and don’t forget to check your proxy’s uptime—sometimes it’s just a bad proxy!
