This protocol details the configuration of a SOCKS5 proxy via the Tor network to bypass network-level restrictions and access Telegram.

Package Installation

Deploy the tor daemon on the host machine.

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S tor

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install tor

Service Initialization

Start the tor service daemon:

sudo systemctl start tor.service

The Tor daemon initializes and listens on port 9050.

Proxy Configuration

Within the Telegram client configuration navigate to Settings > Advanced > Connection type.

1. Enable "Try connecting through IPv6".
2. Select "Use custom proxy".
3. Choose SOCKS5.
4. Define Hostname as 127.0.0.1.
5. Define Port as 9050.

Save the configuration. The client will route traffic through the local Tor proxy.
