How to set up a Telegram Proxy (MTProxy)

This tutorial will teach you how to set up a Telegram MTProxy on an Ubuntu 22.04 sever using AWS Lightsail, although you can use any other Linux distribution and cloud provider.

Using a Telegram proxy is a safe, easy and effective way of overcoming Telegram bans. It's useful, for example, to keep using Telegram under tyrannical regimes, or to circumvent judges' decisions to block Telegram.

Telegram proxies are a built-in feature in all Telegram apps (both mobile and desktop). It allows Telegram users to connect to a proxy in just one or two clicks / taps.

Telegram proxies are safe: Telegram sends messages using their own MTProto secure protocol, and the proxy can only see encrypted traffic – there's no way for a proxy to decrypt the traffic and read the messages. The proxy does not even know which Telegram users are using the proxy, all the proxy sees is just a list of IPs.

External configuration in Grails 3

---

Working on Grails 3 I realized that I no longer can specify external configuration using the standard grails.config.locations property in Config.groovy file.

Reason is obvious! There is no Config.groovy now in Grails 3. Instead we now use application.yml to configure the properties. However, you can't specify the external configuration using this file too!

What the hack?

Now Grails 3 uses Spring's property source concept. To enable external config file to work we need to do something extra now.
