AddProxy

[pfeux]

Hi

What is the best way to use AddProxy? Is there any sequence that needs to be followed?

Thanks

[levlam]

AddProxy is just a method that can be called like any other method.

AddProxy is just a method that can be called like any other method.

When do we call that method? Any particular sequence we need to follow? Any implementation sample you can provide?

[levlam]

You call it whenever you want to enable the proxy. It can be called any time.

Thanks @levlam for your reply.

In python sample provided in this repo, if I call AddProxy function before the following line, will my client use proxy for rest of the functions called e.g. calling setTdlibParameters, or setAuthenticationPhoneNumber, or other td_send commands OR do I need to call AddProxy before I call any td_send commands in that file?

td/example/python/tdjson_example.py

Line 83 in 521aed8

td_send({'@type': 'getOption', 'name': 'version', '@extra': 1.01234})

[levlam]

You need to enable the proxy only once.

Following is my implementations:

    # create client
    client_id = _td_create_client_id()

    # setting TDLib log verbosity level to 1 (errors)
    print("setting log verbosity level to 4\n\n")
    print(td_execute(
        {
            "@type": "setLogVerbosityLevel",
            "new_verbosity_level": 4,
            "@extra": 1.01234,
        }
    ))

    print("setting the proxy\n\n")
    td_send(client_id,
        {
            "@type": "addProxy",
            "server": "socks.domain.io",
            "port": "1080",
            "enable": True,
            "type": {
                '@type': 'proxyTypeSocks5',
                'username': 'user1',
                'password': 'password1',
            }
        }
    )
    
    while True:
        event = td_receive()
        if event:
            print(str(event).encode("utf-8"))
            sys.stdout.flush()
        else:
            break

And following is log

I am sure I am not connected to socks proxy. Can you please let me know what is wrong with my code?

[levlam]

The code is correct. The proxy will be used whenever network requests are sent.

[pfeux]

Hi @levlam

It's not picking up proxy. In my devices list, I get the country where I run the code and not proxy's country.

[levlam]

Check TDLib logs for details.

[pfeux]

I get no difference in log. I only changed 60 seconds for timeout. What is the expected response when I send AddProxy?

[levlam]

You didn't even try to initialize and use TDLib in the provided log.

[pfeux]

Apologies for my limited knowledge but can you please elaborate initialize?
