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

31 Replies, 2384 Views

Hey, awesome thread! I’ve been using linux curl proxy setups for a while, and I’ve found that using a reverse proxy like Nginx is super helpful for testing. You can configure it to forward requests through your proxy, and it’s way easier to debug.

For public proxies, I usually check https://www.proxyscrape.com/. They have a ton of options, and you can filter by HTTPS support.

Also, don’t forget to check your proxy’s speed with `curl -w "%{speed_download}"`. Slow proxies are the worst.
