Description: Array of RSA keys to use during key exchange.
WARNING: be very careful while modifying the default value of this setting, the security of telegram's MTProto protocol depends on it.

$settings['connection']['ssl_subdomains']

Default: [ 1 => 'pluto', 2 => 'venus', 3 => 'aurora', 4 => 'vesta', 5 => 'flora', // musa oh wait no :( ]
Description: Subdomains of web.telegram.org for https protocol

$settings['connection']['test']

Description: test datacenter IPs

$settings['connection']['main']

Default: [ 'ipv4' => [ // ipv4 addresses 2 => [ // The rest will be fetched automatically 'ip_address' => '149.154.167.51', 'port' => 443, 'media_only' => false, 'tcpo_only' => false, ], ], 'ipv6' => [ // ipv6 addresses 2 => [ // The rest will be fetched automatically 'ip_address' => '2001:067c:04e8:f002:0000:0000:0000:000a', 'port' => 443, 'media_only' => false, 'tcpo_only' => false, ], ], ]
Description: main datacenter IPs

$settings['connection_settings']

Connection settings

$settings['connection_settings']['all']

Connection settings that will be applied to all datacenters

$settings['connection_settings']['all']['protocol']

Default: 'tcp_abridged'
Description: MTProto transport protocol to use
Available MTProto transport protocols (smaller overhead is better):

• tcp_abridged: Lightest protocol available Overhead: Very small Pros:

• Minimum envelope length: 1 byte (length)
• Maximum envelope length: 4 bytes (length)

Cons:

• Not all Telegram DCs support it
• No obfuscation
• No initial integrity check
• No transport sequence number

• obfuscated2: Like tcp_abridged, but obfuscated Overhead: Medium-high Pros:

• All Telegram DCs support it
• Minimum envelope length: 1 byte (length)
• Maximum envelope length: 4 bytes (length)
• Obfuscation to prevent ISP blocks

Cons:

• Initial payload of 64 bytes must be sent on every connection
• Additional round of encryption is required
• No initial integrity check
• No transport sequence number

• tcp_intermediate: I guess they like having multiple protocols Overhead: small Pros:

• Minimum envelope length: 4 bytes (length)
• Maximum envelope length: 4 bytes (length)

Cons:

• No obfuscation
• No initial integrity check
• Not all Telegram DCs support it
• No transport sequence number

• tcp_full: The basic MTProto transport protocol, supported by all clients Overhead: medium Pros:

• All Telegram DCs support it
• Initial integrity check with crc32
• Transport sequence number check

Cons:

• Minimum envelope length: 12 bytes (length+seqno+crc)
• Maximum envelope length: 12 bytes (length+seqno+crc)
• Initial integrity check with crc32 is not that useful since the TCP protocol already uses it internally
• Transport sequence number check is also not that useful since transport sequence numbers are not encrypted and thus cannot be used to avoid replay attacks, and MadelineProto already uses MTProto sequence numbers and message ids for that

• http: MTProto over HTTP for browsers and webhosts Overhead: medium Pros:

• Can be used on restricted webhosts or browsers

Cons:

• Not all telegram DCs support it
• Very big envelope length
• No Initial integrity check
• No transport sequence number check

• https: MTProto over HTTPS for browsers and webhosts, very secure Overhead: high Pros:

• Can be used on restricted webhosts or browsers
• Provides an additional layer of security by trasmitting data over TLS
• Integrity checks with HMAC built into TLS
• Sequence number checks built into TLS

Cons:

• Very big envelope length
• Requires an additional round of encryption
