Telethon: How to use proxy in telethon?

[hameda169]

import sys
import socks

from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl.types import InputPhoneContact
from telethon.tl.functions.contacts import ImportContactsRequest
from telethon.errors import FloodWaitError, RPCError

api_id = 0  # a valid api_id
api_hash = ''  # a valid api_hash

w = input('Which: ')

host = 8.8.8.8  # a valid host
port = 80  # a valid port
proxy = (socks.SOCKS5, host, port)

client = TelegramClient('N{}'.format(w), api_id, api_hash, proxy)
client.connect()

Above code doesn't work. what is the problem???

what is the problem???

No idea. Why doesn't it work? What's the problem? Have you tried connecting without a socket? Does that work? Can you confirm that said "valid host and port" work correctly somehow else?

[hameda169]

valid host and port works with requests and opens a URL successfully. and doesn't work
without proxy, it's OK

[Lonami]

Could you at least provide a traceback of where it stops working, or what the error is?

[hameda169]

socks.GeneralProxyError: Socket error: timed out
This is the error what happens
It happens in 'client.connect()' line

[hameda169]

It Worked successfully!!! Thanks

[Lonami]
