Hello, I have a few questions and I’ll clarify underneath.

  1. How does Telegram’s E2EE data look? Could someone that has access to the stream tell its Telegram? Or is that undecipherable?

  2. Does Telegram have an official Onion site?

  3. Will one’s account get frozen if they are using Telegram’s clearweb sites on Tor?

Clarity:

I use Facebook at work and use Tor to masktheat fact. Fb has locked my account a half dozen times because I’m using their clearweb site. They have an Onion address, but E2EE chats won’t load & E2EE chats are about 98% of what I do on Fb. So I’m looking for a messaging alternative.

If an IT deptartment can’t tell the app is the app, that works best. If they can though, using the website over Tor would be better for me.

Just trying to get things straight before I start bugging people to move. They wouldn’t still be on Fb if that wasn’t hard.

Thanks

    1. Telegram uses its own mtproto for encryption, including for e2ee, I am not much knowledgeable but if someone can decipher which protocol the e2ee is using they can clearly say its telegram coz no other app use mtproto.
    2. No

      1. Well, I don’t think Alan has the time or inclination, (let alone skill,) to figure that out.)
      2. Fair.
