 **Telemt** is a fast, secure, and feature-rich server written in Rust: it fully implements the official Telegram proxy algo and adds many production-ready improvements such as connection pooling, replay protection, detailed statistics, masking from "prying" eyes
 
+## Emergency
+**Важное сообщение для пользователей из России**
+
+Мы работаем над проектом с Нового года и сейчас готовим новый релиз - 1.2
+
+В нём имплементируется поддержка Middle Proxy Protocol - основного терминатора для Ad Tag:

+Если у вас есть компетенции в асинхронных сетевых приложениях - мы открыты к предложениям и pull requests
+
+**Important message for users from Russia**
+
+We've been working on the project since December 30 and are currently preparing a new release – 1.2
+
+It implements support for the Middle Proxy Protocol – the primary point for the Ad Tag:
+development on it started on February 6th, and by February 10th, "big activity" in Russia had already "taken place"...
+
+If you have expertise in asynchronous network applications – we are open to ideas and pull requests!

+# Features
+💥 The configuration structure has changed since version 1.1.0.0, change it in your environment!

+⚓ Our implementation of **TLS-fronting** is one of the most deeply debugged, focused, advanced and *almost* **"behaviorally consistent to real"**:  we are confident we have it right - [see evidence on our validation and traces](#recognizability-for-dpi-and-crawler)

 - Telegram architecture **does NOT allow calls via MTProxy**, but only via SOCKS5, which cannot be obfuscated
