Server proxy tuning for Telegram
Telegram is one of the most popular messages to exchange. In March 2018, the Telegram management said that it has 200 million active users per month around the world.
This is far from 1 billion users, like whatsApp, Telegram has a strong base of permanent users who use it on a daily basis. If you regularly read this site, you should know that we compile part of this user base for the reasons that we talked about earlier.
One of the remarkable Telegram functions is the support of proxy servers. In Russia, where the government criticizes freedom of speech and censorship part of the Internet, Telegram is often blocked. Solution of the problem - setting up proxies in telegrams .
The proxy server hides your real IP address, connecting to a blocked online resource from another country on your behalf just like VPN. The difference is that the connection is not encrypted, which means that your Internet provider or anyone else can spy on what you are doing on the network. But if you are worried about simple access to a blocked resource, the proxy server has the advantage that it does not slow down the Internet connection.
For countries in which Telegram is blocked, you can use the proxy server built into the application. Just go to the “Settings”> “Data and Storage”> “Proxy settings”> “Add proxy”.
When the proxy is turned on, you will see the shield icon in the top line of the menu.
As an alternative, you can also check this channel https://t.me/tgproxies. They constantly update the list of MTPROTO proxies compatible with MTPROTO. You just need to choose one and check it. All you need to do is choose “MTPROTO” in the type of proxy, enter an IP, port and secret provided by one of the listed options.
Since Telegram by default is blocked by your Internet provider, you want to get access to it through the Telegram website in a browser, such as Opera with VPN, or you can simply use one of the VPN applications on your phone. After you set up Telegram to work through a proxy, you will no longer need VPN.
To turn off the proxy, just go to the “Settings”> “Data and Storage”> “Proksi settings”> “Use proxy”. Click on the slider to the right to turn on / off the proxy.
