There are two apps on a Mac: Telegram (native, from the App Store) and Telegram Desktop. The “Connect” link works in both.
Option 1. One click
- Start Telegram.
- Tap “Connect proxy” above and allow the browser to open the link in Telegram.
- Confirm Connect Proxy — a shield icon appears above your chat list.
Option 2. Manually (Telegram for macOS)
- Open Settings → Data and Storage → Proxy (in recent builds “Proxy” may sit directly in Settings).
- Click Add Proxy and choose MTProto.
- Fill in Server, Port and Secret from the table below and save.
If it does not connect
- Pick another server or open tg-proxies.com/go.
- Using Telegram Desktop? Follow the desktop guide.
