What it does
MTProxy Admin Bot is Telegram's official management tool for the MTProxy protocol. If you run an MTProxy server, the bot lets you generate connection configurations, attach sponsored-channel promotion to your proxy, and view connection statistics, all from inside Telegram.
Why people use it
- Operate an MTProxy server with the official admin interface.
- Get an authenticated connection string for users.
- Attach a sponsored channel that appears in users' channel lists in exchange for relayed traffic.
- View basic connection statistics.
How to use it
- Set up an MTProxy server using Telegram's published reference implementation (see the MTProxy GitHub repo).
- Tap "Open in Telegram" above to start the admin bot.
- Register your proxy's IP, port, and secret.
- The bot returns a
t.me/proxy?...connection URL you can share with users.
This bot is primarily for proxy administrators, not end users. End users just need the connection link.
What an MTProxy is for
MTProxy is Telegram's own proxy protocol. People run one to keep Telegram reachable where it is blocked, and channel owners run them to reach an audience behind a filter.
| Use it to | Detail |
|---|---|
| Generate a proxy link | The tg://proxy link users tap once to connect |
| Register a sponsored channel | Your channel is promoted to everyone using your proxy |
| Manage existing proxies | Rotate secrets, revoke, and check status |
The sponsored channel part
This is the reason most people run one. A proxy you register can attach a sponsored channel, which appears pinned at the top of the chat list for every user connected through it. It is Telegram's only native way to buy reach with infrastructure instead of money, and it is why proxies are given away for free.
Worth knowing
You need your own server to run the proxy software. The bot configures and registers it, it does not host anything for you. Running a proxy means other people's traffic passes through your machine, so understand what that means for your bandwidth bill and your legal position where you live.
