Pythonanywhere won't connect to proxy, what should I do?

Question

Python

Connecting to a proxy

proxy = socks.SOCKS4, "" , 
client = TelegramClient('session_name' , api_id, api_hash, proxy=proxy)

Gives an error: Error connecting to SOCKS5 proxy : [Errno 111] Connection
refused

Free Pythonanywhere accounts can only make outbound connections to whitelisted sites:
https://www.pythonanywhere.com/whitelist/ .
If you need to make outgoing connections, then you should either switch to a paid account or look at alternatives.
