Use Proxies with Telegram: macOS

This guide explains how to set up a Froxy proxy in Telegram on macOS. You'll learn where to find the proxy settings, how to enter connection information, and how to troubleshoot common connection issues.

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging platforms for communities and business contacts. In certain situations, connection quality or service access may be affected by network conditions or regional restrictions. Using a proxy can improve connection stability and make Telegram more user-friendly.

Froxy proxies can be configured directly in Telegram using the built-in proxy settings. To connect, you need to specify the server and port. Depending on the selected authorization type, you will also need to enter a username and password or first add the device's IP address to the IP Whitelist in the Froxy control panel.

    • Server/Host: Your proxy server address.
    • Port: connection port.
    • Login and password: specify when using authorization using credentials;
