Working Telegram link when t.me is blocked
The t.medomain is blocked and links won't open? Replace t.me with tlgme.app in any link — it opens the channel, chat or profile right in the app, without a VPN, on phone and desktop.
How it works
A link on our domain opens the Telegram app directly — the blocked t.me is not involved. Any link works: channels, groups, private chats, invites and messages.
You need the Telegram app installed. If Telegram itself is fully blocked on the network, only a VPN/proxy will help.
FAQ
Why won't t.me links open?
The t.me domain was placed on serverHold at the .me registry, so t.me links stopped opening in browsers worldwide. The Telegram app and its servers still work — only the web link broke.
How do I open a Telegram link when t.me is blocked?
Replace t.me with tlgme.app in the link (for example, t.me/durov → tlgme.app/durov). It opens the same chat or channel directly in the Telegram app, bypassing the blocked domain.
What is a good t.me alternative?
tlgme.app keeps the same address after the slash and opens Telegram through the native tg:// scheme, without touching the blocked t.me domain.
Does it work without a VPN?
Yes, if only the t.me domain is blocked and not the app itself. The tg:// deep link opens the chat in your installed app directly, so no VPN is required.
Does the link work on desktop and mobile?
Yes. On iOS, Android and desktop with Telegram installed it opens the app. Without the app it offers to open Telegram Web or install the app.
Is it safe to use instead of t.me?
Yes. It never asks for your login or password, stores no data and does not proxy your messages — it only builds a standard tg:// link and hands opening to the Telegram app.
