MTProto Proxy Setup

This guide uses mtg because it looks like the most easy and foolproof option.

• Create a VM/VPS

• (Optional) Create a DNS A record

• Install Docker CE

  • Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
  • Fedora: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/fedora/

• Generate a shared secret

  $ docker run --rm nineseconds/mtg:2 generate-secret <DOMAIN>

• Create mtg.toml which looks like the following:

  secret = "<SECRET>"
  bind-to = "0.0.0.0:3128"

• (Optional) Generate access links

  • docker run --rm -v $PWD/mtg.toml:/config.toml nineseconds/mtg:2 access /config.toml

• Start the server

  • docker run --rm --name mtg -p 3128:3128 -v $PWD/mtg.toml:/config.toml -d nineseconds/mtg:2 run /config.toml

• Open Telegram and enter the proxy settings under Settings > Data and Storage > Proxy Settings
