Hello from MTProxyHub

Why another MTProto proxy list — and what makes this one different.

Hello from MTProxyHub

Telegram is one of the few messengers where built-in proxy support just works. The MTProto protocol lets you connect through a relay node while disguising traffic as regular HTTPS. It's not a VPN and not a replacement for one — it's a focused solution for a single app.

The problem is elsewhere: live, stable proxies disappear quickly. Channels full of links go stale, URLs point to overloaded or already dead nodes. You usually connect on the third or fourth try.

MTProxyHub solves exactly that.

What this service does

We keep a short list of nodes that are actually working right now, and refresh their status every 60 seconds. No paid tiers, no signups, no cross-promotions for third-party VPNs.

  • One tap — the link opens Telegram with settings pre-filled
  • Live nodes only — dead proxies don't appear in the list
  • QR code — open the same proxy on another device in seconds
  • No account — nothing required, just open the page

How to connect

  1. Open the homepage
  2. Pick any node from the list
  3. Press "Connect" — Telegram opens
  4. Confirm you want to use the proxy

That's it. If a proxy stops working, just come back and pick another.

Important: an MTProto proxy encrypts traffic between you and the node, but from there to Telegram's servers the data takes the usual path. For strong privacy, follow Telegram's official guidance.

What about security

The proxies on the list are public. That means the node operator can technically see connection metadata (connect times, traffic volume), but not message content — Telegram's end-to-end encryption stays intact.

We don't run the nodes ourselves; we aggregate publicly available ones. If you want maximum control, run your own node — it takes fifteen minutes on a $2/month VPS.

What's next

Upcoming posts will cover:

  • How MTProto works at the packet level and why it's hard to block
  • The differences between plain MTProto, secret, and "fake-tls" modes
  • How to spin up your own node on Debian in fifteen minutes

If you just need to connect right now — here's the list of live nodes.
