Telegram’s links stopped working worldwide for several hours after the domain was removed from DNS, causing users to see errors when trying to open them The Telegram app itself continued to work normally, but every link was affected. According to DomainME, which manages the .me domain, the issue occurred because the domain was temporarily placed on hold due to OFAC compliance. OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) is a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that enforces U.S. economic and trade sanctions. Once resolved, the domain was restored and links started working again. The outage has now been fixed, and links are working normally.
