SOCKS5 Proxy¶

Pyrogram supports proxies with and without authentication. This feature allows Pyrogram to exchange data with Telegram through an intermediate SOCKS5 proxy server.

Usage

Usage¶

To use Pyrogram with a proxy, simply append the following to your config.ini file and replace the values with your own settings:
```
[proxy]
enabled = True
hostname = 11.22.33.44
port = 1080
username = <your_username>
password = <your_password>
```
To enable or disable the proxy without deleting your settings from the config file, change the enabled value as follows:
- 1, yes, True or on: Enables the proxy
- 0, no, False or off: Disables the proxy

Alternatively, you can setup your proxy without the need of the config.ini file by using the proxy parameter in the Client class:

from pyrogram import Client

app = Client(
    session_name="example",
    proxy=dict(
        hostname="11.22.33.44",
        port=1080,
        username="<your_username>",
        password="<your_password>"
    )
)

app.start()

...

Note

If your proxy doesn’t require authorization you can omit username and password by either leaving the values blank/empty or completely delete the lines.
