MTProxy is Telegram’s official MTProto proxy server implementation that enables users to create and run proxy nodes for the Telegram messaging platform, helping people connect securely and reliably when direct access to Telegram is restricted or blocked. It implements the MTProto proxy protocol, which obfuscates encrypted Telegram traffic so it appears indistinguishable from normal HTTPS/TLS flows, making it harder for ISPs or authorities to detect and block Telegram traffic based on signatures. The repository includes C source code, build instructions, and configuration files for compiling and running the proxy on Unix-like systems, with dependencies including OpenSSL and zlib. By launching an MTProxy instance with a secret and configuration file, system administrators can allow clients to connect through custom proxies and generate shareable proxy links for Telegram clients.
