## What it is
A fast, async MTProto proxy server for Telegram written in Python, deployable via Docker or directly. It supports channel advertising via MTProxybot tags, multi-instance load balancing, uvloop acceleration, and Prometheus statistics export.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted Telegram proxy server
- circumvent Telegram blocking in my country
- set up an MTProto proxy with Docker
- share a Telegram proxy link with users
- advertise a Telegram channel through my proxy
- monitor proxy traffic with Prometheus
- serve thousands of Telegram users on a small VPS

## When to choose
- you need a fast, lightweight MTProto proxy that is simple to deploy
- you want Docker-based setup with optional Prometheus monitoring
- you need to support thousands of simultaneous Telegram users on modest hardware
- you want channel advertising support via MTProxybot

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose VPN or SOCKS/HTTP proxy rather than Telegram-specific MTProto
- you need a proxy for protocols other than Telegram
- you require a GUI-managed proxy solution

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: stable
