Setup Guides

Whether you are configuring Telegram on your phone for the first time or rolling out a proxy across an entire team's devices, this hub collects every setup walkthrough TGFast publishes. Each guide is written for a single platform and a single use case — Android Telegram on Pixel, iPhone Telegram on iOS 17, Telegram Desktop on Windows 11, Telegram for macOS, Telegram for Linux including Ubuntu and Debian package installs, the lightweight Telegram Web client, the official Telegram-Web-K and Web-A variants, and the dedicated tablet builds for iPadOS and large-screen Android. The guides are deliberately repetitive across platforms so you can hand any one of them to a non-technical user and expect them to succeed in under sixty seconds, but they also include short callouts whenever the platform-specific behaviour deviates from the common path — for example, when an iOS Mobile Device Management profile blocks the one-tap proxy URL and forces a manual configuration, or when a Linux distribution ships an outdated Telegram build that does not yet support the modern "ee" Fake-TLS prefix.

If you have never used a Telegram proxy before, start with the Android or iPhone guide for your phone. Both walk through the recommended one-tap connect flow first (which is faster than reading further) and the manual configuration route second (which is what you fall back to when an app store policy or a corporate MDM blocks the t.me URL handler). Once you have your phone working, repeat the same steps inside Telegram Desktop on your laptop — your account roams the proxy configuration for you in most cases, but the Desktop and Web clients each store proxy settings locally rather than syncing them, so you do need to add the server on every device once.

Beyond the per-device guides, this hub also contains advanced material for power users: how to add multiple TGFast servers as a failover list, how to script proxy rotation through Telegram Bot API automation, how to pin a proxy at the operating-system level on Linux for system-wide Telegram CLI use, how to configure browser-based access through the official Web-K interface for shared computers where you cannot install software, and how to combine TGFast with Telegram bots for monitoring, channel-management and notification workflows that need to keep running even when direct Telegram CDN routes are throttled. Every article in the catalogue is reviewed on a 30-day cadence, the proxy addresses on the live cards are checked every five minutes, and breaking changes are mirrored to @FastTGProxyMT so subscribers see them within minutes of deployment.

Pick a guide that matches your device below. If you are deploying TGFast across a fleet — small business, journalism collective, civic organisation, university lab — read both the Android and iPhone guides first, then the Telegram Desktop guide, and finally the failover/rotation article so you can hand the one-page checklist to your end users with confidence that it will work the same way on every machine.
