Uhhh how did it work when the internet went down ?

  I believe the Telegram app has a peer-to-peer feature that allows communication to be routed through other devices rather than requiring communication with the Telegram servers

    That is not the case. It is a plain old client-server architecture. You might be thinking of FireChat.

  Yeah, no idea really. It'd be nice to find out from someone more in the know. Was the internet merely heavily deteriorated instead of shut down completely? I also read that most of the VPNs wouldn't work, with the exception of psiphon.

  They didn't fully shut down the internet the entire time. I.e. at least for a while, apparently port 80 was still open when other things were blocked.
