Cool project. But why tunnel Telegram specifically? This could be a yet another VPN protocol.

There are some useful ideas from SoftEtherVPN, BitTorrent, Yggdrasil Network, and Tor you could borrow, if you're looking to improve this. The ideal tunneling solution, which doesn't exist yet, is one that not only evades DPI, but also onion bounces you through nodes in a decentralized ad hoc network, and does automatic node discovery.

Nowadays I prefer to have dedicated application solutions, everybody (with security in mind) has some sort of base WG/Tailscale setup, it's annoying to tweak to incorporate those on top, so per-program solution imo makes sense and especially in the AI era where you don't really want to allow agents to tamper with your main network card config, it's safer and cleaner.

Thanks OP for this!

What I meant was that you could combine ideas from those 4 projects to build a new VPN protocol, not that you need to tweak your existing tunneling setup to allow those applications through.
