Discord Drover (Proxy Settings for Discord)

Discord Drover is a program that forces the Discord application for Windows to use a specified proxy server (HTTP or SOCKS5) for TCP connections (chat, updates). This may be necessary because the original Discord application lacks proxy settings, and the global system proxy is also not used.

Additionally, the program slightly interferes with Discord's outgoing UDP traffic, which helps bypass some local restrictions on voice chats.

The program works locally at the specific process level (without drivers) and does not affect the operating system globally. This approach serves as an alternative to using a global VPN (such as TUN interfaces and others).

Installation

The latest version of the program can be downloaded from the latest release page.

Automatic Installation

For an easier setup, use the included installer drover.exe. Run the program and fill in the proxy settings, then click Install to automatically place the necessary files in the correct folder.

To uninstall the program and remove all associated files, run drover.exe again and click Uninstall.

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual installation, copy the version.dll and drover.ini files into the folder containing the Discord.exe file (not Update.exe). The proxy itself is specified in the drover.ini file under the proxy parameter.

Example drover.ini Configuration:

[drover]
; Proxy can use http or socks5 protocols
proxy = http://127.0.0.1:1080

;use-nekobox-proxy = 1
;nekobox-proxy = http://127.0.0.1:2080
  • proxy: Defines the main proxy server to use for Discord (HTTP or SOCKS5). If left empty, no proxy will be used, but UDP manipulation will still occur to bypass voice chat restrictions.
  • use-nekobox-proxy: Enables the feature to detect if NekoBox is running and use a different proxy if found.
  • nekobox-proxy: The proxy used when NekoBox is detected, typically 127.0.0.1:2080.

Features

  • Forces Discord to use a specified proxy for TCP connections.
  • Slight interference with UDP traffic for bypassing voice chat restrictions.
  • Supports HTTP proxies with authentication (login and password).
  • No drivers or system-level modifications are required.
  • Works locally at the process level, offering an alternative to global VPN solutions.
  • Supports Discord Canary and PTB versions in addition to the main version.
