Requirements
Before setting a proxy for Telegram, here are the needed requirements to make that happen.
- A VPN account– the first thing you will need is a Cactus VPN account. In case you do not have a VPN account, you will need to sign up for one right away. If you already have one, then you are good to go provided you have the other requirements on hand.
