Can using a proxifier app like Trojan or Shadowrocket improve SOCKS5 proxy connectivity on Telegram


Using a proxifier app like Trojan or Shadowrocket can indeed improve SOCKS5 proxy connectivity on Telegram, particularly in scenarios where the native proxy settings in Telegram face limitations. Here are some key points regarding this setup:

Benefits of Using Proxifier Apps

1. Enhanced UDP Support: Telegram's native SOCKS5 proxy settings may struggle with UDP connections, especially for voice calls. Proxifier apps like Trojan and Shadowrocket can effectively handle UDP traffic, allowing calls to connect successfully when they might fail using Telegram's built-in proxy settings[4].

2. Improved Stability and Speed: Proxifier applications can optimize network connections by selecting the best routes for data packets, which can lead to increased stability and potentially faster speeds when using a SOCKS5 proxy[3][5].

3. Multi-Account Management: Proxifier apps allow users to manage multiple accounts more efficiently. This is particularly useful for users who need to access different Telegram accounts simultaneously, as these apps can route traffic for each account through distinct proxies[3].

4. Bypassing Restrictions: In regions where Telegram is blocked or restricted, proxifier apps can help bypass these limitations by routing traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy, enhancing access to the app and its features[1][5].

Setup Considerations

- Configuration: When setting up a proxifier app, ensure that you enter the correct SOCKS5 proxy server details (IP address, port, username, and password if required). This setup is crucial for achieving the desired connectivity improvements.

- Testing: After configuration, test the connection to ensure that both messaging and voice call functionalities are working as expected. This can help confirm that the proxifier app is effectively enhancing your experience.

In summary, using a proxifier app like Trojan or Shadowrocket can significantly improve the connectivity and functionality of a SOCKS5 proxy on Telegram, particularly for voice calls and multi-account setups.
