# What are proxies for?

### <mark style="color:red;">**If you do not use a proxy, then all accounts will simultaneously work from one local IP, this will lead to their blocking.**</mark>

### <mark style="color:blue;">**When using a proxy, the software allocates a separate IP for each account, avoiding telegram control as much as possible, so the accounts will work properly.**</mark>

**The software supports socks5 and http protocols.**

**IP proxy format:** <mark style="color:green;">host:port:login:password</mark> **Example:** <mark style="color:green;">100.100.100.10:6455:login:password</mark>
