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

IP per account
Notes
Several accounts in one Telegram app
One proxy for all of them
Fine when every account may use the same IP; not for one IP per account
Telegram Desktop copies, each with its own -workdir
One proxy per copy
One folder per account; test that your version opens a second copy
Separate phones, emulators or cloud phones
One proxy per device
Set the proxy inside each device's Telegram app
Bots or user clients in Python
One proxy per client object
Pass the proxy where the library asks for it
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.
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.
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.
Make a sheet with one row per account: account name, IP, app copy or device. One account, one IP, one place.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Telegram proxy on your own static ISP IP: SOCKS5 with a username and password goes straight into Telegram's built-in proxy settings, for accounts, channels and bots.
Read on 15 November 2026: each phone number is a separate account; one Telegram app can be logged in to several accounts at once and you can switch between them without logging out; the Troubleshooting section covers login codes by SMS, phone call and Telegram.
Read on 15 November 2026: Telegram apps generally support SOCKS5 (server and port, optional username and password) and MTProto (server, port and secret), and some apps may support HTTP; a shield icon at the top of the chat list opens the proxy settings when a proxy is connected.
Read on 15 November 2026: -x/--proxy accepts socks5:// and socks5h://; socks5h makes the proxy resolve the host name.
