Three independent changes bundled here — performance, maintainability, and deployment DX. 1. Hot-path Allocations (ad_tag caching): Every middle-relay session was doing a hex::decode of the user's ad_tag (plus a fallback to the global one) on every single connection. That's two string allocations and two hex decodes per session for data that only changes on config reload. Moved the decoding into ProxyConfig load/hot-reload into a precomputed runtime_ad_tags cache (same #[serde(skip)] pattern as runtime_user_auth). The session path now does a single O(1) lookup via config.effective_ad_tag(&user). Falls back to on-demand decode if the cache isn't built (e.g. in tests), so existing behavior is preserved. This eliminates two useless allocations and hex decodes per connection. 2. Metrics Monolith Split(structural refactor): Broke up the massive 4,200-line `metrics.rs` into a proper `metrics/` directory module (`mod.rs`, `tls_front.rs`, `tests.rs`). I isolated the giant `render_metrics` function into its own `render.rs` file. This was a purely structural move—no locks or function bodies were changed, keeping things build-safe while making the crate significantly easier to navigate. The /metrics endpoint output is byte-identical. 3. GitOps / Dokploy Auto-Deployment Support (deployment DX): Added `figment` to `Cargo.toml` to seamlessly merge TOML config files with Environment Variables. You can now configure the proxy entirely using `TELEMT_` prefixed ENV variables (e.g., `TELEMT_GENERAL__PORT=443`) without needing to manually mount a physical `config.toml` via Docker volumes. The Dockerfile and compose setups now gracefully handle missing config files by generating an empty placeholder, making stateless auto-deployments on platforms like Dokploy frictionless.
Telemt - MTProxy on Rust + Tokio
Note
From June 5th, 2026: we are already analyzing the causes of a new wave of "malfunctions"
Telegram Clients TLS ClientHello has been banned by JA4/JA4+ Fingerprint: we are already looking for ways to solve this problem
You can try build your client with our Telegram Devlibrary - tdlib-obf
Telemt is a fast, secure, and feature-rich server written in Rust: it fully implements the official Telegram proxy algo and adds many production-ready improvements
One-command Install and Update
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/telemt/telemt/main/install.sh | sh
Features
Our implementation of TLS-fronting is one of the most deeply debugged, focused, advanced and almost "behaviorally consistent to real": we are confident we have it right - see evidence on our validation and traces
Our Middle-End Pool is fastest by design in standard scenarios, compared to other implementations of connecting to the Middle-End Proxy: non dramatically, but usual
- Full support for all official MTProto proxy modes:
- Classic;
- Secure - with
ddprefix; - Fake TLS - with
eeprefix + SNI fronting;
- Replay attack protection;
- Optional traffic masking: forward unrecognized connections to a real web server, e.g. GitHub 🤪;
- Configurable keepalives + timeouts + IPv6 and "Fast Mode";
- Graceful shutdown on Ctrl+C;
- Extensive logging via
traceanddebugwithRUST_LOGmethod.

# Cloning repo
git clone https://github.com/telemt/telemt
# Changing Directory to telemt
cd telemt
# Starting Release Build
cargo build --release
# Current release profile uses lto = "fat" for maximum optimization (see Cargo.toml).
# On low-RAM systems (~1 GB) you can override it to "thin".
# Move to /bin
mv ./target/release/telemt /bin
# Make executable
chmod +x /bin/telemt
# Lets go!

Why Rust?
- Long-running reliability and idempotent behavior
- Rust's deterministic resource management - RAII
- No garbage collector
- Memory safety and reduced attack surface
- Tokio's asynchronous architecture
