ProxyFall proxies in cURL

cURL is the command-line tool for making HTTP requests. Here's how to set ProxyFall up for quick checks of a proxy line and the IP it gives, in a couple of minutes.

Setup

Set up ProxyFall in cURL

  1. 1

    Pass the proxy with -x and your login with -U (or put both in the proxy URL).

  2. 2

    Try a few lines with different options to see the IPs you get.

  3. 3

    Use socks5h:// for SOCKS5.

Example

curl -x http://gw.proxyfall.com:59731 -U "YOUR_LOGIN-country-us-state-texas:YOUR_PASSWORD" https://ipinfo.io/json

Replace YOUR_LOGIN and YOUR_PASSWORD with the proxy login and password in your dashboard. The dashboard's generator writes these lines for any country, state, city or ISP.

Tips

Getting the most out of it

  • -v shows the proxy's answer if a line is refused (407: wrong login, 402: no GB left).
  • socks5h:// sends DNS through the proxy too.

FAQ

cURL and ProxyFall: questions, answered

Do ProxyFall proxies work with cURL?

Yes. ProxyFall is a standard HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 proxy at gw.proxyfall.com:59731 with a login and password, which cURL supports. Targeting goes in the login, so nothing else needs configuring.

How do I rotate IPs?

Leave the session out of the login and every new connection gets a new IP. Add -session-NAME-lifetime-30 to keep one IP for 30 minutes (anything from a few minutes to 24 hours).

How much does it cost?

Residential traffic costs $0.99/GB for 1 to 49 GB and down to $0.86/GB from 1 TB, with every targeting option included and GB that never expire. Your first deposit of $5 or more, by card or crypto, adds 250 MB free.
