Telegram WEB Proxy
A WEB proxy is a newer kind of Telegram proxy. The app keeps its normal MTProto encryption but sends the connection as HTTPS traffic to an ordinary website on port 443, so a network filter sees someone opening a site rather than a connection to Telegram. You get a tg://webproxy link and open it once.

What a Telegram WEB proxy is
A Telegram proxy sits between the app and Telegram's servers. With a classic MTProto proxy the app talks to the proxy directly, in Telegram's own protocol. A WEB proxy keeps that protocol and its encryption but wraps the whole connection in HTTPS.
Inside the app, a built-in web view opens an HTTPS or WebSocket connection to the proxy's address on port 443. That address belongs to a real website with a valid certificate. Anyone who opens it in a browser sees the website. Only an app holding the right secret gets the proxy.
To the network, the result looks like a visit to an ordinary site. That is the point of the type: filters that recognise and slow down Telegram connections see web traffic instead.
WEB proxy or MTProto proxy
Both carry Telegram only and both connect from a link. The difference is what the traffic looks like and which apps can open it.
| WEB proxy | MTProto proxy | |
|---|---|---|
| What the network sees | HTTPS to an ordinary website with a valid certificate | A TLS connection on port 443 behind a TLS front |
| Link | tg://webproxy | tg://proxy |
| Apps | Telegram Desktop. Mobile apps are getting support gradually | Every official Telegram app |
| Devices | Up to 5 | Up to 5 |
| Term | 1 to 12 months | 1 to 12 months |
| Choose it when | The network recognises Telegram traffic and slows it down | Most networks and any device |
Not sure? Start with MTProto: it works in every Telegram app today. Take a WEB proxy when MTProto connects but the network keeps throttling it.
Which Telegram apps open a WEB proxy
Support comes from the app, not from the server. Telegram Desktop opens tg://webproxy links. On Android and iOS support is arriving gradually, so check that your app opens the link before you rely on it on a phone.
If the link does nothing or opens the website in a browser, update Telegram first. If it still does not connect, the app on that device does not support WEB proxies yet, and an MTProto proxy is the one to use there.
How to connect
- 1
Buy
On the Telegram proxy order page, choose WEB Proxy and pay from your balance. The proxy is issued straight away.
- 2
Open the link
The order page shows a tg://webproxy link. Open it on the device where Telegram is installed.
- 3
Confirm
Telegram asks whether to add the proxy. Confirm it, and the connection status shows the proxy in use.
One link works on up to five devices. Keep it to yourself: anyone who has it can connect.
What a WEB proxy does not do
- It carries Telegram only
- Other apps on the device ignore it, as with any Telegram proxy.
- It does not change your country
- Telegram ties an account to a data centre at sign-up, and a proxy does not move it.
- No custom domain
- The link points to our server's own website. A domain of your own cannot be attached to it.
- Not every app supports it yet
- On a device whose Telegram does not open the link, use MTProto.
- No promise of forever
- Filtering changes, and any address can be identified sooner or later. HTTPS on port 443 to a real website gives the best odds, not a guarantee.
Questions about Telegram WEB proxies
What people ask before they switch.
A Telegram proxy that sends the app's MTProto connection inside HTTPS to an ordinary website on port 443. It connects from a tg://webproxy link.
An MTProto proxy speaks Telegram's protocol to the proxy directly. A WEB proxy wraps the same protocol in web traffic, so the network sees a website visit. MTProto works in every Telegram app, WEB in the apps that already support it.
Telegram Desktop supports WEB proxies, and the mobile apps are getting support gradually. Update Telegram and open the link. If the app does not offer to add the proxy, use MTProto on that phone.
No. The proxy carries Telegram's encrypted session and cannot decrypt it. Secret chats are end-to-end encrypted on top of that.
Up to five. Anyone with the link can connect, so share it only between your own devices.
No. Support is built into Telegram itself, so there is nothing to install.
From $0.99/proxy/mo, the same as an MTProto proxy. Longer terms cost less per month.
