curl Proxy Integration

Test Hex Proxies quickly using curl with proxy authentication.

curl Proxy Setup

Use -x to specify the proxy and -U for credentials.

curl -x http://gate.hexproxies.com:8080 -U user:pass https://example.com

Tips

  • Use -v for debugging.
  • Switch to SOCKS5 if a target blocks HTTP proxies.

Integration Steps

1

Set proxy endpoint

Use -x with the proxy server host and port.

2

Add credentials

Pass -U user:pass for auth.

3

Test target

Run a request to confirm connectivity.

Operational Tips

Keep sessions stable for workflows that depend on consistent identity. For high-volume collection, rotate IPs and reduce concurrency if you see timeouts or 403 responses.

  • Prefer sticky sessions for multi-step flows (auth, checkout, forms).
  • Rotate per request for scale and broad coverage.
  • Use timeouts and retries to handle transient failures.
