Unable to receive phone code

[b10c77]

I tried the code on the main project page, changing the apiId and apiHash to my app settings.

I tried to enter the phone number without the + sign, with double 00's (same as the + sign) and with only the country code. I can't seem to ever receive the code on telegram. Tried already two different accounts. Also tried setting the DC to client.session.setDC(2, "149.154.167.50", 443);

I never receive any code (via SMS or via telegram) to enter on the console to then gain access to the session string.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Can you show the full code you tested (hide api_id and hash)

• don't set the DC. the library will do that automatically

Also make sure this is an already existing account and you are logged in with it in your mobile or desktop client.

const telegram = require ("telegram");
const StringSession = require("telegram/sessions").StringSession;
const input = require("input");

const apiId = 123456;
const apiHash = "123456abcdfg";
const stringSession = new StringSession(""); // fill this later with the value from session.save()

(async () => {
  console.log("Loading interactive example...");
  const client = new TelegramClient(stringSession, apiId, apiHash, {
    connectionRetries: 5,
  });
  await client.start({
    phoneNumber: async () => await input.text("Please enter your number: "),
    password: async () => await input.text("Please enter your password: "),
    phoneCode: async () =>
      await input.text("Please enter the code you received: "),
    onError: (err) => console.log(err),
  });
  console.log("You should now be connected.");
  console.log(client.session.save()); // Save this string to avoid logging in again
})();

Ok, I found the possible culprit. I was connected via Mullvad VPN. As soon as I turned off the VPN I was able to receive the code. So they might be preventing logins from known VPN IPs or something similar.
