# It has all possible options with default values. So, a real world

# As for 2.0, if you set a public-ip on your own, mtg won't issue any
# network requests except of those required for Telegram.
#

# resolver of the operating system and uses DOH instead. This is a host

# mtg can work via proxies (for now, we support only socks5). Proxy
# configuration is done via list. So, you can specify many proxies
# there.
#
# Actually, if you supply an empty list, then no proxies are going to be
# used. If you supply a single proxy, then mtg will use it exclusively.
# If you supply >= 2, then mtg will load balance between them.
#
# If you add an empty string here, this is an equivalent of 'plain network',
# with no proxy usage.
#
# Proxy configuration is done via ordinary URI schema:
#
#     socks5://user:password@host:port?open_threshold=5&half_open_timeout=1m&reset_failures_timeout=10s
#
# Only socks5 proxy is used. user/password is optional. As you can
# see, you can specify some parameters in GET query. These parameters
# configure circuit breaker.
#
# open_threshold means a number of errors which should happen so we stop
# use a proxy.
#
# half_open_timeout means a time period (in Golang duration notation)
# after which we can retry with this proxy
#
# reset_failures_timeout means a time period when we flush out errors
# when circuit breaker in closed state.
#
# Please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/patterns/circuit-breaker
# on details about circuit breakers.

# define a global timeout on establishing of network connections. idle
# means a timeout on pumping data between sockset when nothing is
