Telegram Node Not Receiving Messages in Test Mode (Using VPS - Hostinger)

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble using the Telegram node. I’ve set up the bot correctly, but when I try to test it, it simply doesn’t receive any messages. However, if I activate the workflow and go to Executions, I can see that it is receiving the messages.

This makes it really difficult for me to build the workflow properly. I was hoping it would work like I see in the tutorials — just hit “Execute Node” and immediately get the information I need to move forward with the rest of the nodes.

I’ve seen several people reporting similar issues, and from what I’ve noticed, this seems to be happening mostly to users who are running n8n on a VPS. I’m using a VPS from Hostinger, by the way.

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to make it work normally? I’m a complete beginner and this is really getting in the way of my learning process :frowning:

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi, could you share your workflow like the example below.
