Drover-Go is a Discord proxy tool that routes traffic through SOCKS5
via kernel-level packet capture (WinDivert), surviving Discord
auto-updates and bypassing the limitations of in-app proxy settings.

Drover-Go

Discord proxy / DPI bypass tool. Routes Discord traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy via kernel-level packet capture (WinDivert), bypassing the limitations of in-app proxy settings and surviving Discord auto-updates.

What it solves

Discord doesn't support proxies for voice/video traffic. Existing DLL-injection tools (drover, discord-voice-proxy) modify Discord.exe, which:

triggers antivirus heuristics (unsigned DLL injecting into a popular app),
breaks every time Discord auto-updates,
doesn't proxy Update.exe itself, so the updater fails when Discord servers are blocked.

Drover-Go uses WinDivert — a Microsoft-signed kernel driver — to capture packets at the network stack level. No modification of Discord, works for any Discord variant (Stable/Canary/PTB/Vesktop), survives auto-updates, minimal AV detection.

Status

Pre-alpha. See implementation plan for details.

How it works

Discord.exe (unmodified)
    ↓ TCP/UDP
WinDivert.sys (kernel filter)
    ↓ matched packets
drover.exe (Go)
    ├── TCP redirect to local SOCKS5 listener  →  SOCKS5 CONNECT  →  upstream proxy
    └── UDP encapsulation (RFC 1928)           →  SOCKS5 UDP ASSOCIATE  →  upstream proxy

For UDP voice that's blocked even via SOCKS5 (DPI on the proxy's TCP control channel), drover-go injects a fake QUIC initial packet (à la zapret-discord-youtube) before forwarding — DPI sees "QUIC to Google" instead of Discord media.

Requirements

Windows 10 1903+ or Windows 11 (x64). ARM64 not supported by WinDivert.
Administrator privileges for first run (driver install).
Upstream SOCKS5 proxy with UDP ASSOCIATE support (e.g. mihomo, sing-box).

Install

Download the latest release from releases:

drover-vX.Y.Z-setup.exe — installer with Start Menu shortcut, registers in Apps & Features for clean uninstall.
drover-vX.Y.Z-windows-amd64.zip — portable, just unzip and run.

Verify SHA256 against SHA256SUMS.txt in the same release.
