Fetlife Proxy

For Telegram, it is recommended to use paid proxy servers of the Socks5 protocol. These proxies provide the user with data protection and high and stable connection speed. Telegram developers recommend using servers from European countries.

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".

To check if the proxy server is working, follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser or software that uses the proxy server.

2. Visit a website that displays your public IP address, such as whatismyip.com.

3. Before making any changes to your browser or software settings, take note of your current IP address.

4. Configure your browser or software to use the proxy server you've chosen. If you're unsure how to do this, refer to the instructions provided in the previous answer.

5. Refresh the page with the IP address displayer (e.g., whatismyip.com).

6. Compare the new IP address displayed on the page to the one you noted earlier. If the IP address has changed, the proxy server is working correctly.

Alternatively, you can use a proxy checker tool or website that tests your proxy server's connection and anonymity. Keep in mind that some proxy servers may not work with certain websites or services, so you may need to try different proxies to find one that works for your specific needs.

It is recommended to use third-party programs that allow redirecting all traffic through a proxy server. For example, ProxyDroid, EveryProxy. It is not possible to use proxies through the regular menu. Although in phones from some manufacturers such possibility has been added.

In data centers, proxies are used to provide IP to virtual servers. After all, one server there can be used by a dozen users at the same time. And each needs to be allocated its own IP and port. All this is done through proxies.
