Telegram Multiple Accounts: One IP Per Account Setup

One Telegram app routes through one proxy. To give each account its own IP, run each account in its own app copy or device.

Four setups and what IP each account gets

Read on 15 November 2026 from the Telegram FAQ, the Telegram proxy page and the Telegram Desktop launcher source. The proxy settings are described for the app; the docs do not describe a per-account proxy.

Four rules for a stable multi-account setup

First, keep one account on one fixed IP and do not move it between IPs. Second, never share an account login between people: each account belongs to one phone number. Third, follow Telegram's terms and the rules of the countries you work in. Fourth, if Telegram asks you to verify, complete it as asked.

A proxy only changes the network route. It does not change your account, Telegram's limits or what Telegram does with a new account. If login codes do not arrive, the Troubleshooting section of the Telegram FAQ is the place to look; changing the proxy does not fix a code that was never sent.

Which proxy to use

Telegram apps generally support SOCKS5 and MTProto; Proxy302 does not issue MTProto, so use SOCKS5 with a login. Buy the IP with the SOCKS5 protocol, because an IP is issued with one protocol and port 3333 is the SOCKS5 port.

Choose a static IP for an account you keep: it stays the same during the lease. Rotating traffic changes the exit and suits short jobs, not an account you log in to every day.

Set up one IP per account

  1. Step 1: Write the plan

    Make a sheet with one row per account: account name, IP, app copy or device. One account, one IP, one place.

  2. Step 2: Buy one static IP per account

    Choose SOCKS5 and a country and term. The Quantity field takes 1 to 100 per order, and the IPs are bought one by one.

  3. Step 3: Test each IP outside Telegram

    Run the curl line below for every IP and check the country. If it fails, fix the IP before you open Telegram.

    Expected result The exit IP and the country you expected.

  4. Step 4: Give each account its own app copy or device

    Open each Telegram copy with its own working folder, or use a separate device, and add that account's SOCKS5 proxy: server, port 3333, username and password.

  5. Step 5: Check and keep the mapping

    The chat list should load without staying on Connecting. Keep the sheet up to date and do not swap IPs between accounts later.

Open a separate Telegram Desktop copy per account

# Windows (PowerShell): one data folder per account
& "C:\Program Files\Telegram Desktop\Telegram.exe" -workdir "D:\tg\account1"

# macOS
open -n -a "Telegram" --args -workdir "$HOME/tg/account1"

# Linux
telegram-desktop -workdir "$HOME/tg/account1"

Example only: the -workdir argument sets the data folder, as the Telegram Desktop source shows. Change the paths; if your version only brings the existing window to the front, run the account on a separate device or in a virtual machine instead.

Test one IP before you add it

curl -x socks5h://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:3333 https://ipinfo.io/json

Example only: replace the placeholders with the values from My assets. This line is for a SOCKS5 IP; the h makes the proxy resolve the host name.

What a batch of static IPs costs

What a batch of static IPs costs
Item30-day lease1-day lease
1 accountUS$7.99US$0.50
5 accounts5 × 7.99 = US$39.955 × 0.50 = US$2.50
10 accounts10 × 7.99 = US$79.9010 × 0.50 = US$5.00

Static ISP per-IP prices from the Proxy302 product facts: US$0.50 for 1 day, US$7.99 for 30 days, the same in every country; the totals are price times quantity. Payment-channel fees are extra.

When it does not work

The app stays on Connecting

Check Is the type SOCKS5, port 3333, and was the IP bought as SOCKS5?

Fix Run the curl test. If it fails, the IP details are wrong; if it works, re-enter the proxy in Telegram.

Stop when If curl fails with the right details, stop and send Support the order number.

The login code does not arrive

Check Is it a Telegram-side delivery issue rather than a network one?

Fix Follow the Troubleshooting section of the Telegram FAQ for SMS, phone call and in-app codes.

Two accounts show the same exit IP

Check Are both accounts in the same app copy?

Fix Move one to its own copy or device and set its own proxy there.

Telegram multiple accounts: FAQ

Can one Telegram app use several accounts?

Yes. The Telegram FAQ says you can log in to one app with several accounts and switch between them without logging out.

Can each account in one app have its own proxy?

Telegram's documentation does not describe a per-account proxy; the proxy settings belong to the app. Use separate app copies or devices.

Which proxy type does Telegram accept?

SOCKS5 and MTProto in general, and some apps HTTP. Proxy302 issues HTTP and SOCKS5, so use SOCKS5 for Telegram.

Can two people share one account login?

Do not. Each account belongs to one phone number; give each person a separate account.

Does a proxy stop Telegram from limiting a new account?

No. A proxy changes the network route only, not Telegram's rules or limits.
