Way 1: from a link
- Click “Connect” next to a proxy in the list below — the browser offers to open Telegram.
- Agree, and click “Enable” in Telegram.
- If the browser does not open Telegram, click “Copy”, send the link to your Saved Messages, then click it inside Telegram.
Way 2: by hand in settings
- Open Settings → Advanced → Connection type.
- Choose “Use custom proxy” and click “Add proxy”.
- Set the type (MTProto or SOCKS5), server, port and, for MTProto, the secret — the part of the link after “secret=”.
- Save — the proxy is on at once. In the Telegram app for macOS the path differs: Settings → Data and Storage → Proxy.
Already connected on your phone?
Proxies on the phone and on the computer are set up separately. The quickest way to move one is to click “QR” next to a proxy on this site and point your phone’s camera at it — or copy the link to Saved Messages and open it on the computer.
