How to unblock Telegram using a proxy
Telegram is a popular messenger for online communication. It is used by a large number of people in many countries, but there are also regions where Telegram is blocked. To open access to Telegram, you will need a proxy server.
The proxy will change your IP address to the data of the country where Telegram is available, which means you can use messenger without any problems. Also, proxy servers will allow you to create multiple accounts on one device, protect your data and ensure anonymity on the network.
What proxy to use for Telegram
For mobile devices, you can only configure a proxy with the SOCKS5 type. Telegram Desktop on PC supports SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies, so you can choose one of these types. HTTP is considered less reliable than SOCKS5, but it is quite suitable for unblocking Telegram.
