Copy the fields separately. Proxy credentials are different from your Proxly account login. After changing the location, copy the updated proxy username again.
Open your connectionConnect the app
Open Telegram's Data and Storage settings, then the proxy settings at the bottom.
Add a SOCKS5 proxy using the host, port, username and password from Proxly.
Save the connection and enable the proxy.
Connect Proxly as SOCKS5, not MTProto. Telegram Web follows browser settings. This guide tests messages and media; proxy calls are not guaranteed.
Test the connection
Check the connection status in Telegram, then load an image in a chat. An IP check in a separate browser does not test Telegram's proxy.
Turn the proxy off
Turn off the proxy in the same Telegram settings section.
If the connection fails
Authentication error
Recopy the proxy credentials. Include the full username with location and session settings. HTTP status 407 means proxy authentication was not accepted.
Connection timeout
Check the dashboard host and the port for the selected protocol. Make sure the access has remaining data. Use HTTP for Chromium with username and password.
The IP did not change
Check the IP inside the configured app or browser profile. Make sure the test site is not excluded from the proxy. Telegram does not change your regular browser IP.
