How to Set Up and Use a Linux curl Proxy for Secure Web Requests?

30 Replies, 1545 Views

Hey, great thread! I’ve been experimenting with linux curl proxy setups too, and I found that using a SOCKS5 proxy is way better for security, especially with HTTPS. Just replace `http://` with `socks5://` in your curl command, and you’re golden.

For SOCKS5 proxies, I usually grab them from https://www.socks-proxy.net/. They update their list daily, so it’s pretty reliable.

Also, don’t forget to test your proxy with `curl -v` to see the full request/response. Helps catch any sneaky issues.
