uvloop was incorrectly disabled when SOCKS5 proxy was configured. Testing confirms PySocks and uvloop are fully compatible.

Changes

  • mtprotoproxy.py: Removed SOCKS5 check that prevented uvloop initialization
  • mtprotoproxy.py: Updated warning message to remove incorrect uvloop incompatibility claim
  • README.md: Removed documentation stating uvloop is unavailable with SOCKS5

Impact

Users running with SOCKS5 outgoing proxy now get uvloop's event loop performance, enabling significantly higher concurrent connection capacity without code changes.

Pull request overview

This PR enables uvloop performance optimization for users running MTProto proxy with SOCKS5 outgoing proxy configuration. Previously, uvloop was incorrectly disabled when SOCKS5 was configured due to a mistaken incompatibility assumption.

Key Changes

  • Removed the SOCKS5 check that prevented uvloop initialization in try_setup_uvloop()
  • Updated warning messages and documentation to reflect that SOCKS5 is only incompatible with advertising, not uvloop
  • Enables significant performance improvements for SOCKS5 proxy users without requiring code changes
