## What it is
MTProxy is the official MT-Proto proxy server for Telegram, written in C. It lets users self-host a proxy so others can access Telegram where it is blocked.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted proxy for Telegram
- circumvent Telegram blocking on an ISP
- deploy an MTProto proxy on a Linux server
- provide Telegram access to users behind firewalls

## When to choose
- you need the official, maintained MTProto proxy implementation
- you want random padding to evade DPI detection

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose VPN or SOCKS proxy
- you don't run Linux servers

- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: proxy, networking, security
