Discord Drover Documentation

If the built-in UDP manipulation is insufficient to bypass voice chat restrictions on your network, you can provide an optional drover-packet.bin file in the Discord application folder.

When present, the contents of this file are sent at the start of every new outgoing UDP connection, immediately before the program's built-in UDP manipulation.

Note: The file is re-read before every new connection. You can edit or replace drover-packet.bin while Discord is running; you only need to start a new voice connection for the changes to take effect.

Use the drover.exe installer for a guided setup. Run the program, enter your proxy settings, and click Install to automatically place the required files into the Discord application directory.

If you are in a region where Discord works but voice chat is blocked (e.g., UAE), you can select Direct mode to bypass voice chat restrictions without using a proxy.

To remove the program, run drover.exe and click Uninstall.

Run `drover.exe` and follow the GUI instructions.

To install without the automated installer, manually copy the following files into the directory containing Discord.exe (ensure you are not copying them into the Update.exe folder):

1. version.dll
2. drover.ini

Configure your proxy settings within the drover.ini file.

cp version.dll drover.ini [PATH_TO_DISCORD_EXE_FOLDER]/

The drover.ini file controls how Discord handles connections. The primary setting is the proxy parameter under the [drover] section.

• proxy: Defines the proxy server for TCP connections (chat, updates). Supports http or socks5 protocols. If left empty, no proxy is used, but the program will still perform UDP manipulation to help bypass voice chat restrictions (equivalent to Direct mode).
