Discord Drover hdrover
winget install --id=hdrover.DiscordDrover -e A DLL for forcing Discord to use a specified proxy (HTTP/SOCKS5) for TCP connections. Bypasses local restrictions on voice chats.
Discord Drover is a DLL-based tool designed to force Discord to use a specified proxy server (HTTP or SOCKS5) for TCP connections, such as chat and updates. It also modifies Discord's outgoing UDP traffic slightly, which helps bypass local restrictions on voice chats.
Key Features:
- Forces Discord to connect via a specified HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy for TCP communication.
- Modifies UDP traffic to help bypass voice chat restrictions in regions with local blocks.
- Direct mode allows bypassing voice chat restrictions without requiring a proxy.
- Supports HTTP proxies with authentication (username and password).
- Operates locally at the process level, without requiring system-level modifications or drivers.
- Compatible with Discord's main, Canary, and PTB versions.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for users who need to configure Discord behind restricted networks or regions where voice chat is blocked. It provides a lightweight alternative to global VPN solutions, enabling precise control over Discord's networking without affecting the broader system.

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 modifies 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.
In regions like the UAE, where Discord works but voice chat is blocked, you can use Direct mode to bypass voice chat restrictions without a proxy.
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 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 (same as Direct mode in the installer).
- 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. In Direct mode, no proxy is used, only UDP manipulation is performed.
- 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.
