What Telegram Analyzes
On every connection, Telegram sees:- IP address and its geolocation.
- Network type (home provider, mobile carrier, datacenter).
- IP reputation (is it blacklisted).
- Change history (how often the IP changes).
IP Address Types
Residential IP
IP from a home internet provider. Issued to regular users.| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Trust | High |
| Availability | Hard to get |
| Cost | High |
Mobile IP
IP from a mobile carrier. Often used by many users simultaneously (CGNAT).| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Trust | Medium-high |
| Availability | Through mobile proxies |
| Cost | Medium |
Datacenter
IP from hosting providers and cloud services.| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Trust | Low |
| Availability | Easy |
| Cost | Low |
VPN Services
IPs from popular VPN providers.| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Trust | Very low |
| Availability | Easy |
| Cost | Low |
What Matters
Region = Number
IP should be from the same region as the account’s phone number.
Stability
Frequent IP changes raise suspicion. One IP for a long time is better than different ones every day.
Reputation
IP should not be blacklisted or marked as proxy/VPN.
One IP = One Account
Using one IP for multiple accounts links them together.
Acceptable Scenarios
| Situation | Risk |
|---|---|
| Stable IP from number’s region | Minimal |
| IP change within same provider | Low |
| City change within country | Low |
| Country change (gradually) | Medium |
| Frequent IP changes | High |
| Teleportation (Moscow → Tokyo in 5 minutes) | Critical |
The key factor is plausibility. Changes should look like natural behavior of a regular user.
