How to Integrate ProxyTee with cURL & CLI Automation
Test connectivity, verify residential IP rotation, download files, and run bash scraping cron jobs using cURL with ProxyTee's HTTP and SOCKS5 ports.
Why Pair cURL & CLI Automation with ProxyTee?
cURL is the universal Swiss Army knife for network engineers and backend developers. Whether you are verifying a new ProxyTee port's country geo-location, testing latency across HTTP vs. SOCKS5, or downloading large datasets in bash scripts, ProxyTee's gateway endpoints work out of the box with standard `-x` and `--socks5-hostname` flags.
- 30,000,000+ Real Household IPs: Route cURL & CLI Automation traffic through genuine residential consumer ISPs across 100+ countries.
- Zero Per-Gigabyte Fees: Run 24/7 cURL & CLI Automation workflows on flat-rate concurrent ports starting at $29/month.
- Native HTTP, HTTPS & SOCKS5: Switch protocols or adjust sticky rotation windows (3–60 minutes) directly inside the ProxyTee dashboard.
Zero Dependencies
Pre-installed on Linux, macOS, Windows 10/11, and Docker containers for instant proxy verification.
Unmetered File Downloads
Download large archives, sitemaps, and public datasets via `curl -O` without per-GB bandwidth fees.
Remote DNS via `--socks5-hostname`
Ensure 100% geo-consistent DNS resolution through ProxyTee's 30M+ residential IPs.

Step-by-Step cURL & CLI Automation Proxy Setup
Follow these four steps to connect your ProxyTee residential port to cURL & CLI Automation.
1. Copy Your ProxyTee Port Endpoint
Grab your HTTP or SOCKS5 Host, Port, Username, and Password from the ProxyTee Dashboard.
2. Run an HTTP Proxy Check (`curl -x`)
Execute `curl -x http://username:password@gate.proxytee.com:8080 https://ipinfo.io/json` in your terminal.
3. Run a SOCKS5 Remote-DNS Check (`--socks5-hostname`)
Use `--socks5-hostname` instead of `--socks5` so cURL resolves DNS through the remote residential proxy node.
4. Automate File Downloads & API Polls
Integrate cURL into cron jobs and CI/CD pipelines with 100% unlimited residential bandwidth.
