mtg is a highly opinionated MTPROTO proxy server for Telegram written in Go, designed to let users access Telegram from censored or restricted networks. It emphasizes minimalism, high connection capacity (~10-20k simultaneous connections), domain fronting, and TLS-like traffic camouflage rather than user management or ad-tag support.

Use cases

  • run a self-hosted Telegram proxy to bypass censorship
  • deploy an MTProto proxy on a VPS for restricted networks
  • provide Telegram access where Telegram is blocked
  • disguise proxy traffic as normal TLS website traffic
  • serve many simultaneous Telegram proxy connections with low resource usage

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, unbloated MTProto proxy without user management
  • you want strong anti-detection features like domain fronting and FakeTLS
  • you need to handle thousands of concurrent connections efficiently
  • you prefer a single static Go binary that is easy to deploy

When to avoid

  • you need adtag support for promoting channels via Telegram's bot
  • you need per-user authentication or access management
  • you want a proxy with a graphical management interface
