A tiny, dependency-free MTProto proxy written in Zig that disguises Telegram traffic as standard TLS 1.3 HTTPS traffic. It is designed for self-hosting on a cheap VPS so users in censored networks can access Telegram via a single shareable link.

Use cases

  • run a self-hosted telegram proxy on a vps
  • bypass telegram blocking and throttling
  • disguise mtproto traffic as normal https
  • share a one-tap telegram proxy link with family
  • run a lightweight low-memory mtproto proxy
  • circumvent dpi censorship of telegram

When to choose

  • you need a minimal, zero-dependency mtproto proxy with tiny memory footprint
  • you want telegram-only proxying that looks like ordinary HTTPS to censors
  • you want recipients to connect with one link and install nothing

When to avoid

  • you need a full VPN carrying all device traffic
  • you need a proxy for services other than Telegram
  • you need a GUI-managed or multi-protocol proxy solution
