Agree! This is a useful for some people in china.

Using ENV doesn't seem to work. For example, http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777 ntfy -b telegram send "ntfy test" would produce

WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=2, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<telegram.vendor.ptb_urllib3.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f8d2bd8ba90>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101
] Network is unreachable',)'

While in the same time http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777 http www.google.com is fine.

I got it. https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777 works. Within python we can use os.environ["https_proxy"] = "http://127.0.0.1:7777"

Are we able to configure environment variable or proxy in ntfy.yml? If so, it would be convenient to assign the ENV without polluting the whole environment. For example, I want to use shell-integration but I can't have automatically started ntfy using proxy I assigned without assigning global ENV or monkey patching ~/.local/share/ntfy/auto-ntfy-done.sh.

Glad you got it working @xiaoniu-578fa6bff964d005! I don't have any plans for supporting setting env vars in the ntfy config, I would suggest adding an alias to your shell rc file. ie, in .bashrc:

alias ntfy='env https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777 ntfy'

If that isn't good enough, I'd be happy to consider a well implemented pull request for the benefit of users in countries with censored internet connections. I would prefer a proxy option for the telegram backend and then ntfy would set the env var before calling the telegram dependency.

as an option to install torify and replace in zshrc (ntfy shell-integration) with (torify ntfy shell-integration)
