Short answer
A working proxy is one that responds from your network right now. Refresh ProxyHop, look for Online status, and compare latency.
What you need to know
Country alone does not guarantee speed. Check when the status was refreshed, compare several locations and keep a stable server in Favorites.
Connect in three steps
- Install ProxyHop from the official store.
- Refresh the list and choose an online server with suitable latency.
- Tap Connect and confirm the proxy settings in Telegram.
Security and limitations
A proxy routes Telegram traffic only. Its operator can see the connection IP and time, but cannot read encrypted Telegram messages. Never share your Telegram login code or password.
