MTProxy

telEgo Combines MTProxy and WEB Proxy on Single Port 443 with TLS Fronting

telEgo, a Go-based Telegram MTProxy implementation using the gnet network engine, now supports all four WEB proxy transport modes alongside traditional MTProxy connections on the same public port 443. The solution allows FakeTLS with ee secrets, Obfuscated2 with dd secrets, and WEB carriers including https, https-lanes, websocket, and websocket-lanes without requiring separate ports or secret changes. telEgo performs handshake detection, forwards ordinary TLS traffic to Nginx on a private port using PROXY protocol v2, and routes authenticated WEB streams back to the internal MTProxy backend. The setup uses Docker Compose with separate containers for telEgo, Nginx, and certificate management via Certbot, keeping ports 8080, 8443, and 8444 internal. Existing MTProxy links continue to function while new WEB proxy links become available for Telegram Desktop. The configuration supports Prometheus metrics, connection limits, and automatic certificate renewal through systemd timers.

Telegram Desktop Adds WEB Proxy to Hide MTProxy Traffic Inside HTTPS and WebSocket Connections

Telegram Desktop has received an initial implementation of a new WEB proxy designed to conceal messenger connections within ordinary HTTPS and WebSocket traffic. The feature makes user activity appear as simple website browsing to network providers while MTProxy continues to operate underneath. Developers inserted more than 3,000 lines of code, including a dedicated WEB-proxy transport, domain configuration options, and interface elements such as “Open browser” and “Waiting for browser.” The mechanism works by opening an embedded web page that establishes a secure WebSocket link to a domain resembling a regular site. Multiple MTProxy connections are multiplexed into a single stream and sent through this channel. On the server side an intermediate node demultiplexes the stream and forwards the individual connections to a standard MTProxy instance without decrypting message content.
