Best Practices for Using a curl Proxy: How to Set It Up and Avoid Common Issues?

21 Replies, 2031 Views

curl proxy setups are tricky, no doubt. I’ve had the best luck with residential proxies from [Oxylabs](https://oxylabs.io/). They’re a bit pricier, but way less likely to get blocked.

Also, don’t forget to set the `--connect-timeout` flag. I’ve had timeouts because I didn’t give it enough time to connect. And if you’re hitting rate limits, try spreading your requests out with a simple bash script.

Hope that helps!
