When this is the right fit

  • Telegram users with an authenticated SOCKS5 endpoint
  • Teams that want a stable residential connection instead of rotation
  • Desktop and mobile users following their app's current proxy menu

Consider another approach when

Telegram also supports MTProto proxies. NobleProxy provides SOCKS5 credentials, so choose SOCKS5 rather than MTProto in the app.
