Telegram having issues? Outage?

[Pentagano]

My phone app is having trouble connecting and receiving anything.
Desktop app doesn't even show any chats/bots, just a stuck loading screen.

Luckily I have the BI alerts pushed to my BI app as a back up.
Normally receive all via telegram

hmm seems to be my router blocking it - works fine on mobile data

managed to connect my desktop app using a proxy but still no luck with my phone on my wifi. Changed the routers dns to google from cloudfare to see if that helps

Phone VPN switched on and it works! How annoying

Looks like my local ISP is blocking it??
Desktop app - using proxy socket SOCKS5
Android phone - vpn on - works

hmm never happened in the last 4 years here.

Can I add an exception on my asus router or is there nothing I can do about it for now?
