- dbrgn 6y ago> Telegram uses own servers Is there any official documentation about this? I checked, and could only find a note about their servers in the EU (Netherlands).
- ComodoHacker 6y ago>Service runs its own server They mean it as "the service provider operates and runs all servers, and there are no cloud or hosting services (such as Amazon AWS or Google Cloud) involved" I'm not sure if it's really an advantage or a weakness. Telegram runs both own and hosted servers, and also allows volunteers to host relaying proxies to circumvent censorship.
- ComodoHacker 6y agoI have to correct myself, Pavel Durov has stated they use only their own cloud infrastructure: https://t.me/durovschat/544164 https://t.me/durovschat/544164

- solstice 6y agoSame question. Especially relating to Signal
- kevincox 6y agoI believe this is saying that they run it on hardware that they own rather than a cloud provider. However if they have good e2e encryption this should be a very minor benefit as I'm not trusting the operator anyways.
