alexbers/mtprotoproxy's Fake-TLS handshake was rejected by real Telegram clients (server/clock/secret/egress all verified good), so replace it with Telemt (ghcr.io/telemt/telemt:3.4.25) - the same proven implementation as the Hetzner endpoint. Config: Fake-TLS on :1080, use_middle_proxy=false (direct-to-DC, required with a SOCKS5 upstream) and [[upstreams]] socks5 ts-proxy:1055 so only DC-bound traffic exits via the Tailscale exit node. Secret in host-only telemt.toml; config.py.example (alexbers) removed. Telemt stays on json-file (its tracing logs don't ship cleanly via the syslog driver). Dashboard: retarget the working 3proxy queries from :1080 to the HTTP front :3128 (the old HTTP section used stale tinyproxy patterns), drop the retired SOCKS5 section, add a Telegram/Telemt info panel.

Tailscale exit-node LAN proxy
LAN HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies that egress through the dedicated Hetzner Tailscale
exit node, so proxied clients appear on the internet as 89.167.72.79 without
routing the docker host itself through the tunnel.
- HTTP endpoint:
192.168.0.35:3128/tcp(tinyproxy, HTTP/HTTPS forward proxy); - SOCKS5 endpoint:
192.168.0.35:1080/tcp(3proxy, LAN-only); - both fronts accept LAN clients (
192.168.0.0/22) and forward upstream over SOCKS5 to the Tailscale container (tinyproxy upstream socks5,3proxy parent socks5); ts-proxyruns Tailscale in userspace mode and sends outbound traffic through the exit nodefedora-technohim(100.121.234.85);- userspace mode adds no host route/firewall changes — the docker host's own services (NPM, KMS, IPsec) keep egressing via the normal gateway;
- both fronts carry TCP only — QUIC/HTTP3 (UDP) is not proxied, so clients must disable browser QUIC for e.g. YouTube video, or run the Tailscale client directly and use the exit node for a full (UDP-capable) tunnel;
- proxy access logs ship to the logging stack (Alloy → Loki) via the syslog
log-driver (
tag: tailscale-proxyfor HTTP,tag: tailscale-socks5for SOCKS5); the Grafana dashboardlogging/grafana-dashboards/tailscale-proxy.jsonvisualises the HTTP proxy.
The stack deliberately keeps credential-bearing / stateful files outside Git:
| Host path | Purpose | Required mode |
|---|---|---|
/mnt/containers/tailscale-proxy/ts.env |
TS_AUTHKEY=<tailscale auth key> |
0600, owner root:root |
/mnt/containers/tailscale-proxy/state/ |
Tailscale node state (persists identity across restarts) | dir, owner root:root |
/mnt/containers/tailscale-proxy/tinyproxy.conf |
tinyproxy config (also tracked in this directory as the source of truth) | 0644 |
/mnt/containers/tailscale-proxy/3proxy.cfg |
3proxy SOCKS5 config (also tracked in this directory as the source of truth) | 0644 |
Before deploying: create ts.env on the host with a Tailscale auth key, and in
the Tailscale admin console approve the exit node and allow this node to use it.
Deploy this directory as a Portainer Git stack named tailscale-proxy, or run it
with Docker Compose using project name tailscale-proxy. The absolute
configuration files must already exist on the host before deployment.
Full build record and rationale (userspace vs TUN dead-ends, SOCKS5-vs-HTTP,
monitoring) is in ops-knowledge:
