Here is a working version with your bugs removed.

$url = 'http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/ip.php';
$proxy = '127.0.0.1:8888';
//$proxyauth = 'user:password';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxyauth);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $curl_scraped_page;

I have added CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD in case any of your proxies require a user name and password. I set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to 1, so that the data will be returned to $curl_scraped_page variable.

I removed a second extra curl_exec($ch); which would stop the variable being returned. I consolidated your proxy IP and port into one setting.

I also removed CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL and CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST as it was the default.

If you don't want the headers returned, comment out CURLOPT_HEADER.

To disable the proxy simply set it to null.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, null);

Any questions feel free to ask, I work with cURL every day.

Here is a well tested function which i used for my projects with detailed self explanatory comments     There are many times when the ports other than 80 are blocked by server firewall so the code appears to be working fine on localhost but not on the server    function get page  url    global  proxy   ch   curl init    curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT URL   url     curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT PROXY   proxy   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT HEADER  0      return headers 0 no 1 yes curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  true      return page 1 yes curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT TIMEOUT  200      http request timeout 20 seconds curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT FOLLOWLOCATION  true      Follow redirects  need this if the url changes curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT MAXREDIRS  2     if http server gives redirection responce curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT USERAGENT       Mozilla 5 0  Windows  U  Windows NT 5 1  en-US  rv 1 8 1 7  Gecko 20070914 Firefox 2 0 0 7    curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT COOKIEJAR   cookies txt       cookies storage   here the changes have been made curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT COOKIEFILE   cookies txt    curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT SSL VERIFYPEER  false      false for https curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT ENCODING   gzip       the page encoding   data   curl exec  ch      execute the http request curl close  ch      close the connection return  data
