Every time I needed a working MTProto proxy, I'd go digging

Every time I needed a working MTProto proxy, I'd go digging through Telegram channels, paste a link, watch it fail, rinse and repeat. Drove me crazy.

So I built a scraper. It crawls those same channels automatically, tests each proxy with fake-tls confirmation, and only keeps the ones that actually work. The results get published as a simple text file and a web listing that refreshes hourly.

Now I just pull from https://github.com/Yagami200/free-mtproto-proxies and grab a live proxy in ten seconds. No more manual testing. Set a cron job to rotate every hour if you want. It's been running for weeks without touching it.
