Download https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/7.5.3/tor-win32-0.3.2.10.zip
Unpack and run tor-win\Tor\tor.exe (minimize window, don't close) Also you can install it as service
Open Telegram settings and set proxy TCP with custom socks5-proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and port 9050

@f242
thank you. I know personally
But many Iranian (or Russian) users do not know
So if the tor client (Or similar tor) add to Telegram client It would be great and convenient for users.

@instapost, I think it's not necessary. As for me, it would be better to add p2p network which would allow to bypass almost any stupid goverment's block as well as make telegram less centralized, with p2p network some kinds of traffic can go without telegram servers, like public media in channels for example.

@DevAlone YES, This is a great idea and I know the telegram is working on it. (With BlockChain)
But launching the service p2p takes months.
currently telegram is block. And it's important now,
because every time it passes, the number of users gets lower (users go to use of WhatsApp or Other Messangers).

This is a war....

Unfortunately, recently the telegram has blocked in Iran.
Please, like Russia provide a non-filterable version for Iran.
