# Using Telegram via Tor 

[Telegram](https://web.telegram.org/k/) was blocked by local network admin. So made a script to by-pass that firewall using Tor.

## 📎 Requirements 

- [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/download/) - This downloads Tor Browser and the services with it.

- [Stem](https://pypi.org/project/stem/) - for interacting with Tor services.

- [Selenium](https://pypi.org/project/selenium/) - Opening and controlling browser.

- [Python 3.11](https://www.python.org/downloads/) - made it with version 3.11

# 🔧 SETUP 

## ⚙️ Working 

It 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.

It opens Chrome on that port and then launches Telegram web.

- Clone this repo

- 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).

### 🪛 Change PATH lines 

in your system, change the paths of

- `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

- `venv_path` in [tgViaTor.bat](./tgViaTor.bat#L9).

### ⚠️ Possible Issues 

- 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.

- Sometimes it may take [upto 5 mins to connect to Tor](./tgViaTor.py#L53).

- Internet speed in Tor is slow.

# ⭕ Important Security Considerations: 

- Tor Exit Nodes: 

    - Be aware that Tor exit nodes are not guaranteed to be private or secure. They can potentially monitor or modify your traffic.

- Illegal Activities: 

    - Using Tor for illegal activities is strongly discouraged. It can put you and others at risk.

- Project Scope: 

    - This project is for educational purposes only. It does not offer a comprehensive anonymity solution.
