AutoConnector for Telegram is an app that keeps Telegram working in countries where it is blocked, without requiring the user to manually find or switch proxies. It runs on Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS. The way it works: the app continuously scans public sources on the internet for free MTProto proxies, which are a special connection type built specifically for Telegram. It tests each one from your actual device and network to see if it is alive and how fast it is. The fastest working proxies are sorted by speed and reliability. The app then sets up a local relay, a small server running on your own computer, and tells your Telegram client to connect through that local address. Behind the scenes, it routes your Telegram traffic through whichever proxy is currently best, and automatically switches if that proxy goes down. For users in regions with aggressive internet filtering, the app also includes a set of techniques to disguise the connection so filtering systems are less likely to detect and block it. These include packet-splitting and a technique called FakeTLS that makes the traffic look like ordinary browser activity. There is an auto mode that tries different combinations to find what works for your specific network. To set it up, you point Telegram's built-in proxy settings to a local address the app provides, then let AutoConnector run in the background. On first launch it takes about 15 minutes to gather and test enough proxies to establish a stable connection. After that it maintains the connection automatically. The Android version is a standalone APK available outside the Google Play store. The Windows version needs one of two additional proxy engine components that can be selected in settings. All builds are signed with a certificate, and the README explains how to verify the signature so you can confirm the file has not been tampered with.
