Running a Telegram bot off of my own computer. I live in Xi'An China so I can't get to the API because Telegram is blocked here. wath do?

Answer 1

Aiogram 3.1.1 didnot natively support proxy configuration, to use proxy for, you typically needed to use external Python libraries like aiosocksy or aiohttp. These libraries can be used to route your bot requests through a proxy server.

Answer 2

you can write like this

from aiogram import Bot
from aiogram.client.session.aiohttp import AiohttpSession

session = AiohttpSession(proxy="protocol://host:port/")
bot = Bot(token="bot token", session=session)
