How to run a bot in python from behind a proxy?

Question

Python

I've been trying to connect a proxy to a completely simple bot for two days now, but it doesn't work!!
Gives an error after launch

ERROR - TeleBot: "SSLError occurred, args=(SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777)'),),)

the code itself is here:

import telebot

bot = telebot.TeleBot('1190811079:AAEui3GQq1yJOk8pivrcjA8cVMIFBi1lI0A')

@bot.message_handler(content_types=['text'])
def lalala(message):
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, message.text)

bot.polling(none_stop=True)

You need to connect a proxy.
Thank you very much for your help!!!

Answer 1

You are not connecting to any proxy, but making requests directly, judging by your code.
And you don't need a proxy. For development, use a VPN, and select a server immediately without blocking.
