Good thing that the Telegram client supports proxying traffic over SOCKS5 and MTProto (custom protocol). On the server-side, in the past, they successfully employed domain-fronting and recycling through multiple IPs to bypass the Russian firewall.
The client does its own DNS resolution over HTTPS and so DNS blocks are already ineffective.
- grishka 6y agoIt's also capable of masking its proxy traffic as TLS. This works so well you could actually have a web server behind it that would still work through the same port for a regular TLS client.
- vbezhenar 6y agoYou can also achieve it with something like sslh and use ssh, https, OpenVPN on the same port. Pretty cool thing. But probably vulnerable to DPI.
