The `--use-reply-surbs` field denotes whether you wish to send [SURBs](../../network/concepts/anonymous-replies) along with your request. It defaults to `false`, we are explicitly setting it as `true`. It defaults to `false` for compatibility with versions of the pre-smoosh `nym-network-requester` binary which will soon be deprecated.
The `--provider` field needs to be filled with the Nym address of an Exit Gateway that can make network requests on your behalf.
