I'm attempting to validate that the proxy works and am not having luck, should I expect the following to work?

Plain Text
~ λ curl --proxy http://proxy.apify.com:8000  -U 'groups-RESIDENTIAL,country-US:apify_proxy_redacted' -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36"  https://httpbin.org/ip
