So made a script to by-pass that firewall using Tor.\n\n---\n\n## 📎 Requirements \n- [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/download/) - This downloads Tor Browser and the services with it.\n- [Stem](https://pypi.org/project/stem/) - for interacting with Tor services.\n- [Selenium](https://pypi.org/project/selenium/) - Opening and controlling browser.\n- [Python 3.11](https://www.python.org/downloads/) - made it with version 3.11\n\n---\n\n# 🔧 SETUP \n\n## ⚙️ Working \nIt first creates a Tor service. Check the code's [line 16 and 17](./tgViaTor.py#L16) and see if `9050` or `9150` or other port which works for you.\nIt opens Chrome on that port and then launches Telegram web.\n\n- Clone this repo\n- make a new [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) (recommended) for this project in the same folder and install the [requirements](./requirements.txt).\n\n### 🪛 Change PATH lines \nin your system, change the paths of\n- `user_data` folder path in [this line](./tgViaTor.py#L11) and `tor_pathh` in [this line](./tgViaTor.py#L13) with Tor.exe path in [tgViaTor.py](./tgViaTor.py) file\n- `venv_path` in [tgViaTor.bat](./tgViaTor.bat#L9).\n\n### ⚠️ Possible Issues \n- if the setup is done correctly, it may happen that it doesn't connect in one go. you may need to re-launch it a couple of times for it to work.\n- Sometimes it may take [upto 5 mins to connect to Tor](./tgViaTor.py#L53).\n- Internet speed in Tor is slow.\n\n---\n\n# ⭕ Important Security Considerations: \n\n- Tor Exit Nodes: \n    - Be aware that Tor exit nodes are not guaranteed to be private or secure. They can potentially monitor or modify your traffic.\n- Illegal Activities: \n    - Using Tor for illegal activities is strongly discouraged. It can put you and others at risk.\n- Project Scope: \n    - This project is for educational purposes only. It does not offer a comprehensive anonymity solution.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhappybravo%2Ftelegram_viator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhappybravo%2Ftelegram_viator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhappybravo%2Ftelegram_viator/lists"}
