Use a VPN for Telegram access

Access Telegram wherever you are

Telegram is an instant messaging app loved by users who seek end-to-end encryption and care about their privacy online. Unfortunately, because of the app’s creators’ dedication to privacy, it’s been banned in some countries — sometimes temporarily, but often permanently. If you found yourself unable to use Telegram, don’t worry. There's an easy way to access it once again with NordVPN.

How to unblock Telegram with a VPN

When you connect to a VPN server, your internet traffic is encrypted. All of the data traveling to and from your device is hidden, and no one can see what you do online. If anyone tried to look, they would know that you connected to a remote server, and that’s it. And even if your connection got intercepted, the snooper would only see gibberish, virtually impossible to decrypt.

That’s why you shouldn’t even consider using proxies or free VPNs. They don’t have the same robust encryption paid VPNs offer, the connection is often slow and unstable, and they’re likely to send out unencrypted DNS queries. Your privacy is always at risk when you use them, so it's best to stick to a trusted VPN provider instead.

Why can’t I access Telegram?

Telegram’s security measures keep people’s communications away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, sometimes it also includes the government. The app is often used by protesters to organize events and make plans or citizens of authoritarian countries looking for some privacy. So the government agencies try to block Telegram or particular channels on it. But if you use a reliable VPN, no one will be able to stop you from communicating in secret.
