Hi everyone,
I’m running a self-hosted instance of n8n on Hostinger shared hosting (not VPS, no terminal/SSH access).
The Telegram Trigger node used to work fine before the recent update. Now, whenever I try to add my bot token, the node freezes with no error message.
I’ve tested multiple bots, cleared caches, and even manually set the webhook via the Telegram API — no success. The webhook doesn’t trigger, and the node hangs.
My guess is it’s failing on api.telegram.org but without terminal access, I can’t confirm if it’s DNS, outbound blocks, or some other issue.
Has anyone faced this on shared hosting or found a workaround for this kind of frozen credential behavior?
Appreciate any help or insight 
The issue is likely related to shared hosting restrictions blocking outgoing requests to Telegram’s API. Without terminal access, you can try this: Use a Function node to test connectivity by making a simple HTTP GET request to `https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getMe`. If this fails, it confirms the hosting provider is blocking the connection. You might need to switch to a VPS or use a proxy service that allows Telegram API access.
