Basis Desk product update · October 4, 2026 · read it on basisdesk.news
At a glance
- What happened: Basis Desk launched free MTProto proxies for Telegram: tap a link and the app connects through our servers, with no sign-up.
- Why it matters: Telegram is restricted, throttled or blocked in several countries; a proxy that looks like ordinary HTTPS traffic restores access.
- Who is affected: Telegram users on networks where the app is blocked or slowed down, and anyone who wants a backup connection.
- What's next: If an address gets blocked, we move the proxy and the same link keeps working;
@basisproxy_bot sends fresh links.
Key points
- Basis Desk now runs free MTProto proxies for Telegram users in places where the app is blocked or slowed down.
- The connection looks like ordinary HTTPS behind a valid certificate, and if an address gets blocked, the same link keeps working.
- Your messages stay encrypted between your app and Telegram, so the proxy cannot read them. While connected, Basis Desk appears as the proxy sponsor.
