Multi-Account Telegram and Proxies
How TGFast works when you run multiple Telegram accounts on one device.
Telegram's multi-account feature
The official Telegram apps support up to 4 accounts on a single device. Each account has its own chat list, saved messages and notifications, but they share the same client process — and the same proxy configuration.
One proxy, multiple accounts
When you enable a TGFast proxy in Telegram, all accounts on the device route through it. You cannot use a different proxy per account in the official client. This is usually fine — you would not gain much by routing different accounts through different proxies.
Get a free TGFast proxy
Browse the live country grid on the home page and tap any card to connect Telegram in one second — no signup, no logs.
Open the fleetAccount switching and reconnection
When you switch between accounts, the existing proxied connection is reused — there is no reconnect penalty. The chat list updates within 1-2 seconds. The proxy does not slow down account switching.
Using third-party clients for per-account proxies
If you genuinely need per-account proxy routing (e.g. one personal, one business in different countries), use a separate Telegram client for each account. On Android: official Telegram for one, Telegram X or Plus Messenger for another. On iOS: official Telegram and Nicegram. Each client has its own proxy settings.

Join Telegram ChannelBot accounts and proxies
Telegram bots are separate accounts created via @BotFather. They run on servers and connect to Telegram's API directly. The proxy configuration is in the bot's code (see our bot proxy article), not in your phone's Telegram client. A bot can use a different proxy than your personal account.
Number of devices vs proxy load
TGFast supports unlimited concurrent connections from a single user (we do not enforce per-IP or per-account limits). You can run Telegram on your phone, tablet, laptop and watch — all behind the same proxy — without issues.
Privacy across multiple accounts
Each Telegram account is independent. The proxy sees encrypted MTProto bytes regardless of how many accounts are multiplexed in. There is no cross-account leakage at the proxy layer.
