Coursier Proxy

Proxy servers are needed for Telegram, so that they can substitute their IP address instead of the real one. This procedure makes it possible to avoid blocking and bypass the ban on the messenger in our country. There are three types of protocols that can be set up for Telegram: Socks5, HTTP and MTPROTO. As for the last protocol, its own applications are developed for it.

To change the proxy settings on your PC, follow these steps for different operating systems:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.
3. Go to the "Connections" tab, and click on "LAN settings."
4. In the LAN settings, uncheck the box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if you want to disable the proxy or check the box and enter the proxy server address and port if you want to enable it.
6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

For macOS:

1. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. Click "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to change the proxy settings for (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Configure the proxy settings by selecting the proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS) and entering the proxy server address and port.
7. Click "OK" and then "Apply" to save your changes.

For Linux:

1. Open the Terminal.
2. Enter the following command to edit the network configuration file: sudo nano /etc/environment
3. Find the line that starts with "http_proxy" and edit the value to include the proxy server address and port (e.g., "http_proxy=http://proxyserver:port").
4. Save the file and close the Terminal.
5. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

In the messenger settings, go to "Data and Drive". Click on "Proxy settings", and then, enabling the "Use proxy settings" tab, enter the server, port, username and password in the specially highlighted fields. If you are going to make settings in the Desktop version, you will need to go to the menu. There, in the "Connection method" item, click on "TSP via Socks5" and enter the required data.

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).

A proxy server spoofs the IP address, port, and hardware information. It can also act as a secure gateway for data transmission in an already encrypted form (for example, this is how a proxy with the SOCKS5 protocol works).
