Using MTProto Proxies
=====================
MTProto Proxies are Telegram's alternative to normal proxies,
and work a bit differently. The following protocols are available:
* ``ConnectionTcpMTProxyAbridged``
* ``ConnectionTcpMTProxyIntermediate``
* ``ConnectionTcpMTProxyRandomizedIntermediate`` (preferred)
For now, you need to manually specify these special connection modes
if you want to use a MTProto Proxy. Your code would look like this:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon import TelegramClient, connection
# we need to change the connection ^^^^^^^^^^
client = TelegramClient(
'anon',
api_id,
api_hash,
# Use one of the available connection modes.
# Normally, this one works with most proxies.
connection=connection.ConnectionTcpMTProxyRandomizedIntermediate,
# Then, pass the proxy details as a tuple:
# (host name, port, proxy secret)
#
# If the proxy has no secret, the secret must be:
# '00000000000000000000000000000000'
proxy=('mtproxy.example.com', 2002, 'secret')
)
In future updates, we may make it easier to use MTProto Proxies
(such as avoiding the need to manually pass ``connection=``).
In short, the same code above but without comments to make it clearer:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon import TelegramClient, connection
client = TelegramClient(
'anon', api_id, api_hash,
connection=connection.ConnectionTcpMTProxyRandomizedIntermediate,
proxy=('mtproxy.example.com', 2002, 'secret')
)
