'How to fix SocketException while connecting to Telegram Bot API in Java App

I'm working on my Telegram bot. I know, in my countries Telegram is locked, so I decide to connect to Telegram Bot API through proxy. When I try to run this code:

import org.telegram.telegrambots.ApiContextInitializer;
import org.telegram.telegrambots.bots.DefaultBotOptions;
import org.telegram.telegrambots.meta.ApiContext;
import org.telegram.telegrambots.meta.TelegramBotsApi;
import org.telegram.telegrambots.meta.exceptions.TelegramApiRequestException;

public class SharperBotApp {
    private static final String PROXY_HOST = "89.200.150.35";
    private static final int PROXY_PORT = 37499;//TODO

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApiContextInitializer.init();
        TelegramBotsApi botsApi = new TelegramBotsApi();

        DefaultBotOptions botOptions = ApiContext.getInstance(DefaultBotOptions.class);

        botOptions.setProxyHost(PROXY_HOST);
        botOptions.setProxyPort(PROXY_PORT);
        botOptions.setProxyType(DefaultBotOptions.ProxyType.SOCKS4);

        try {
            botsApi.registerBot(new SharperBot(botOptions));
        } catch (TelegramApiRequestException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

I'm getting this stack trace:

Process finished with exit code 0

I googled it and found that people advise to use proxy... But I've already done it! So I decided to use VPN. I installed windscribe on my laptop but then also got this exception. What should I try to do? Maybe, I'm doing something wrong? (There is Debian 9 installed on my laptop).

Solution 1:[1]

All you need is just to use tor proxy:

public class MyApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.getProperties().put("proxySet", true);
        System.getProperties().put("socksProxyHost", 127.0.0.1);
        System.getProperties().put("socksProxyPort", 9050);
    }
}

But previously you should install tor service:

sudo apt-get install tor
