Did you read the man page?

$ man curl_easy_setopt | grep -i -A 6 proxytunnel
       CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL
              Set the parameter to non-zero to get the library to
              tunnel all operations through a given HTTP proxy.
              There is a big difference between using a proxy and
              to tunnel through it. If you don't know what this
              means, you probably don't want this tunneling
              option.
