MTProxy Admin Bot

This is not a VPN and not a list of free proxies — it is the admin desk Telegram provides for people who operate their own MTProto proxy. MTProto proxies are Telegram's built-in way to route the app's traffic through a relay server: the traffic stays end-to-end encrypted with Telegram's own protocol and is obfuscated on the way, and every official Telegram app can connect to one in its proxy settings.

Telegram's documentation at core.telegram.org/proxy walks through setting up a node from the open-source MTProxy server or its official Docker image, and then says to contact @MTProxybot, type /newproxy and follow the instructions. The bot gives you a proxy tag that you pass to the server with the -P argument. From then on the proxy is registered with Telegram, which unlocks usage statistics for your node and the monetization Telegram offers proxy owners — typically promoting a channel to the people who connect through your server.

The account carries Telegram's verified badge, and the bot is referenced from the official docs, so there is no question about who runs it. Registration is free. The limits are about audience: you need your own server, a terminal and some comfort with Docker or compiling the proxy, and the interface is English only. If you just want to use a proxy, you do not need this bot at all — add a proxy from a source you trust in your app's settings. Telegram's own guidance is to pick proxy operators you trust, and to layer a trusted VPN on top if you expect serious surveillance.
