MTProxy for Telegram in Russia: what it is and how to connect it

MTProxy is Telegram’s official proxy protocol. It helps when the messenger is unavailable because of blocks or an unstable connection.

When MTProxy is actually needed

• Telegram will not connect without a proxy;
• it connects, but messages go out with a delay;
• you do not want to turn a VPN on (you only need Telegram).

MTProxy and a VPN — the difference

MTProxy works only for Telegram. A VPN is for all traffic. So:

• Telegram only → MTProxy;
• Telegram plus YouTube or ChatGPT → a VPN with VLESS.

How to connect MTProxy

With a ready-made link

1. Open the MTProxy link.
2. Tap Connect proxy.
3. Done.

By hand (Android / iOS)

1. Settings → Data and Storage → Proxy.
2. Turn on Use Proxy → MTProxy.
3. Enter the server, port, and secret.

By hand (Desktop)

1. Settings → Advanced → Connection type → Use custom proxy.
2. Choose MTProxy and fill in the details.

Where to get an MTProxy

• official Telegram channels;
• communities you already trust;
• your own MTProxy on a VPS (the most stable option).

If MTProxy does not work

• switch the proxy;
• check the secret again;
• update Telegram;
• use a VPN for a while.

The point

MTProxy is a fast way to get Telegram back. For access to every service, a VPN with VLESS is the better fit.
