So, I’ve got this question — I wanted to hook up a Telegram bot to my printer, but now do I also need to set up a VPN for it? Does anyone have one? How’s it holding up these days, please tell me. > **🇷🇺 Оригинал** > > Такой вопрос созрел, хотел себе на принтер телеграмм бота прикрутить, а теперь же придаётся на него ещё и впн ставить? > > У кого нибудь есть? Как оно чувствует сейчас себя, расскажите пожалуйста ---

Commands go through even without a VPN — slowly, but they do. The ultimate solution is to set it up on the router (depending on what protocol your router supports). > **🇷🇺 Оригинал** > > Команды идут и без впн’а, медленно, но идут. Ультимативное решение - поставить на роутер (смотря какой там у вас протокол поддерживается). ---

Well, it is what it is. By the way, on mobile (Beeline, Moscow region… uh, not the near part) Telegram works without a VPN just like it does with one 🤷‍♂ > **🇷🇺 Оригинал** > > Что поделать, такие реалии. Кстати, на мобиле (Билайн Подмосковье… Эээ, не ближнее) телега работает без впн так же как и с ним 🤷‍♂ ---

I’m living almost right at the epicenter of the events, and here on Beeline everything is pretty bad. > **🇷🇺 Оригинал** > > Я почти в самом эпицентре обитаю событий, тут на билайне печально все ---

So what’s the problem with setting up a proxy? Install the bot, plug in the proxy — profit. I don’t know which specific bot, but through brute force, the settings seem to be stored here: /home/pi/klipper\_config/telegram.conf [proxy] type = mtproto host = port = secret = > **🇷🇺 Оригинал** > > Так в чём проблема настроить прокси то?

Thanks, I’ll figure it out. But the main problem is that I only have university Wi-Fi, and through it all this stuff already works pretty unstably even without any outside help, and in the current situation I’m afraid to imagine it. > **🇷🇺 Оригинал** > > Спасибо, буду разбираться. Но главная беда в том, что у меня вай фай только вузовский, а через него все это не очень стабильно работает и без внешней помощи, а в нынешней ситуации боюсь представить
