Telegram is popular because of the privacy that this messenger offers to users. No one can access personal correspondence data, not even the developers themselves. In 2018, Telegram even refused to disclose the encryption keys to the intelligence agencies, so Roskomnadzor was blocked in Russia. Proxy - technology that helps the use of banned messenger. From this article you will learn how to easily unblock Telegram.

A little about proxy

A proxy is an intermediary between the user and the target server. It performs two main functions:

Bypasses blocking the IP address of the destination server. For example, a country where a user is located or a country that does not want to allow users in other countries can impose restrictions.
Anonymity - Some proxies thwart the user's real IP address.

Based on the features, you have already guessed what the connection between proxy and Telegram is. This technology helps to bypass the prohibitions of Roskomnadzor and reuse the most secure program.

The principle of the proxy in Telegram

From April 2018 began blocking the IP addresses of servers and Internet resources through which the application worked. But in 2017, the program was added the ability to manually configure the proxy server. This means that in the program settings you need to manually specify the IP address and proxy port that are located outside Russia. These mediation servers are not blocked, so they communicate with the necessary resources for the application. Proxy in Telegram works over SOCKS5 protocol, which provides higher anonymity unlike HTTP protocol. Disadvantages of Proxy:

Slowdown of the application due to the use of shared servers.
The communication channel with the proxy is easily decrypted and its address is blocked afterwards.
