Description
Steps to Reproduce
- I have a running bot. But recently my country blocked telegram so i have to use proxy for anything related to Telegram
- This code piece without proxy run smoothly
def main():
SOCKS5_PROXY_URL = <working_proxyURL>
# Create httpx proxy object
proxy = httpx.Proxy(SOCKS5_PROXY_URL)
app = ApplicationBuilder().proxy(proxy).get_updates_proxy(proxy).token(<valid_token>).build()
app.post_init = set_commands
app.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))
app.add_handler(CallbackQueryHandler(button_handler))
app.run_polling()
Expected behaviour
Using the bot over socks5 proxy
