You have to use --proxy localhost:9090 that tells curl to proxy the request to Proxyman @ColtonIdle. By default, curl doesn't use HTTP Proxy.

For example:

curl https://httpbin.org/get --proxy localhost:9090

It also applies to other HTTP Client too: https://docs.proxyman.io/debug-devices/http-clients

Some apps don't respect the system HTTP proxy (such as curl, postman, insomnia, ...), so it goes straight into the Internet instead of Proxyman/CharlesProxy. We have to explicitly config.

Thank you! I'm still learning!
That is really interesting that some apps can just not respect the system proxy. I wonder if there's a way to "force" all traffic to always go through the proxy (im really interested in ALL of the data thats leaving my mac). I suppose somehow setting up a VPN would force all traffic to funnel through the vpn. I wonder if proxyman + vpn could work together to force all traffic?

You can force all traffic that goes through your server by using the VPN or Kernal Extension (it's what Little Snitch does). It monitors TCP/UDP in a transport layer.

To intercept HTTP/HTTPS traffic (which is the Application Layer), it's where Proxyman, Charles Proxy, and Fiddler be a player.

To make VPN apps work with Proxyman, it depends on what VPN app you're using. Here is a Document, which I've collected from Proxyman users.
