The difference is that the Curl call is made in a remote server. Similar to a Proxy, but I suppose the proxy is configured at this website rather than the callsite.

yeah I get it, but why? I can get a VPS and run a curl there, without bandwidth limits.

Well, for me it was faster to select a proxy location with a dropdown, and this makes it easier to run curls from phone
