Accessing Telegram if It’s Blocked in Pakistan

Since Telegram is sometimes restricted in Pakistan, you may need a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to access it. Follow these steps:

1. Download a reliable VPN app from the Play Store or App Store (e.g., NordVPN, ProtonVPN, Windscribe).
2. Open the VPN and connect to a different country’s server (e.g., USA, UK, Germany).
3. Once connected, open Telegram—it should now work without any issues.

How to Use Telegram Without a VPN

If you don’t want to use a VPN, there are alternative methods to access Telegram in Pakistan:

1. Use Telegram Web

• Open your browser and visit web.telegram.org
• Log in using your phone number or QR code.
• If Telegram is not opening, try using Opera Browser with its built-in VPN or a proxy.

2. Use Telegram Proxy Settings

• Open the Telegram app & go to Settings > Data and Storage > Proxy Settings.
• Click on “Add Proxy” and enter a free MTProto Proxy.
• You can find free proxy servers from websites like t.me/proxy or online forums.

3. Change DNS Settings

• Go to Wi-Fi settings on your mobile.
• Change your DNS to Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4).
• This can sometimes bypass restrictions without using a VPN.
