Telethon: Proxy not hide ip

[m9w]

import socks
from telethon import TelegramClient, sync
client = TelegramClient('canadatest2', init.api_id, init.api_hash, proxy=(socks.SOCKS5,'161.35.70.249', 1080))
...

OS Win 10 LTSC 1809, Python 3.8
Telegram detect real IP through proxy. Proxy work. It show change lang in confirm message.

same problem. did you solve the problem?

[m9w]

No. I'm wait. I think that problem in socks lib, I not found place in telethon code where it send real ip address.

[Lonami]

I have no interest in dealing with proxies myself, so I'll add a help wanted label to see if people want to help out. I can provide assistance if anyone needs help understanding the bits of the library required to solve this.

No. I'm wait. I think that problem in socks lib, I not found place in telethon code where it send real ip address.

Could you show it?

[rnyPlanet]

@Lonami who wrote the part of the code related to the proxy? maybe the one who wrote and will help

[Lonami]

I don't remember, and IIRC I'm the one who modified the code over time to adapt it to use asyncio.

show you the stack trace? and maybe this will help you understand what the problem is

[Lonami]

What stack trace? Isn't the main problem here that the proxy is seemingly ignored?

[rnyPlanet]

client = TelegramClient("anon", api_id, api_hash,
connection=connection.http.ConnectionHttp,
proxy=(socks.HTTP, 'ip', port, "log", "pass"))
...

stack trace if using socks.HTTP and connection.http.ConnectionHttp

if used without ConnectionHttp or connection.tcpfull.ConnectionTcpFull then it ignores the proxy.

maybe I'm doing something wrong? I searched for and tried different approaches for a very long time - unsuccessfully

I did write the proxy part. https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/pull/37/files It seems they are still alive here https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/blob/master/telethon/network/connection/connection.py#L54
However, I can't reproduce this issue. I've tried socks.SOCKS5 and socks.HTTP proxy. Both of them work well.

Versions:
Telethon git: c864ef, though I think v1.16.4 should be the same
pysocks: 1.7.1

Test code:

import socks

from telethon import TelegramClient

API_ID = 1
API_HASH = '1'

# with TelegramClient('me', API_ID, API_HASH, proxy=(socks.SOCKS5, '127.0.0.1', 8088)) as client:
with TelegramClient('me', API_ID, API_HASH, proxy=(socks.HTTP, '127.0.0.1', 8089)) as client:
    client.loop.run_until_complete(client.send_message('me', 'Hello, myself!'))

The only difference I can tell is that your devices are "Desktop" and mines are "Unknown device".

[re1ad]

import asyncio
import socks
from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl.functions.account import GetAuthorizationsRequest


proxy = (socks.SOCKS5, proxy_ip, int(proxy_port), True, proxy_login, proxy_password)


async def auth():
    client = TelegramClient(
        session=phone,
        api_id=api_id,
        api_hash=api_hash,
        proxy=proxy
    )
    await client.connect()
    sessions = await client(GetAuthorizationsRequest())
    print(sessions)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.set_event_loop(asyncio.SelectorEventLoop())
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(auth())
