How to use proxies

[RobertAzovski]

What is correct way to obtain TelegramClient instance from TDATA but to be sure it uses proxies when connecting to an account ? Because now after several days of usage I still see that my proxy traffic wasnot decreased and the same 0.77 GB, (after several days of usage Opentele !). So I suspect that there is a some bug or some another problem. May be because it is rotating proxy ? The proxy has where it is host it is not common ip address but HOST name like a string. Does Opentele/Telethon sopport such proxies ?

Example one. This is how I use Opentele now.
client = await tdesk.ToTelethon(session=None, flag=UseCurrentSession, proxy=proxy)

Example two. Never tried this way: client = await TelegramClient.FromTDesktop(tdesk, session=None, flag=UseCurrentSession, proxy=proxy)

What do I do wrong ?

I fixed the problem.

1. I had to install python-socks library to have fullsupport of proxies in Telethon pip install python-socks[asyncio]
2. I used wrong format of proxies tuple. So it is better to use a dict format as it is in Telethon docs.

proxy = { 'proxy_type': 'http', # (mandatory) protocol to use (see above) 'addr': PROXY_HOST, # (mandatory) proxy IP address 'port': PROXY_PORT, # (mandatory) proxy port number 'username': PROXY_USER, # (optional) username if the proxy requires auth 'password': PROXY_PASSWORD, # (optional) password if the proxy requires auth 'rdns': True # (optional) whether to use remote or local resolve, default remote }

Hi! Have you used this in FromTDesktop or ToTelethon?
