    Telegram doesn’t use vpns to bypass access restrictions. There have been multiple attempts to block/ban telegram and they inevitably fail because of the way the internet is designed. And as I said. If you have access to the greater internet you can probably access telegram but I am guessing you don’t use it and didn’t use it before the ban so you have no need to try to access it now.

    Telegram uses proxies and has a setting in the app to attempt to work around blockages.

      No, what I’m saying is that I can use a VPN to access telegram. Their proxy service doesn’t work in China, I have been using it since the initial public beta release some 10 years ago and keep using it ever since. Neither the official client nor Telegram X for that matter. Signal’s “bypass blockage” function hardly works either, by the way. It’s VPN or bust here.
