Cannot use wstunnel socks5 on Telegram application

[dbvdb]

Hi,

After setting Wstunnel on both server and client, still cannot use it in Telegram desktop application as a Socks5 proxy. What is the problem?

I guess the problem is something with dns, do you have clue?

Hello,

Can you provide the command you use with wstunnel server and client please ?
Also how do you indicate telegram to use socks5 protocol ?

[dbvdb]

Client:

wstunnel -v -D 0.0.0.0:8888 ws://a.b.c.d:8080

Server

wstunnel --server ws://0.0.0.0:8080

Settings -> Advanced -> Connection Type -> Add proxy -> Socks 5 -> localhost:8888

Would you mind taking a tcpdump of the traffic and sharing the pcap ?

This is an issue on your device / network perhaps. Telegram desktop works fine for me with wstunnel socks5.

However, Telegram desktop calls don't work over proxy due to this bug telegramdesktop/tdesktop#23916
