What is the mistake when writing a telegram bot in Python?

Question

Python

I decided to write a bot in telegram:
the whole code:

import telebot
import config
bot = telebot.TeleBot(config.TOKEN)

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

#RUN
bot .polling(none_stop=True)

I inserted the token, don't worry, but it gives a long error:

This is not the entire text of the error.

Answer 1

I faced such problem. Telegram bots do not work from the Russian Federation, the same blocking.
Use VPN. I used ProtonVPN and everything worked great.
This is indicated by the first part of the error (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(, 'Connection to api.telegram.org timed out. (connect timeout=3.5)'))")),).

Roskomnadzor blocks Telegram. You need to use a proxy. Better yet, use a search engine. And here such questions are asked every day!
PS: I would generally ban for a year users who ask a question with the "telegram" tag and in whose question there is a line - "Connection to api.telegram.org timed out".
