workflows: disable docker-clean so apt cache survives between runs
Debian-based Docker images install /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/docker-clean
which runs 'apt-get clean' after every apt-get install — wipes out
/var/cache/apt/archives so there's nothing for actions/cache to save.

Fix: remove the docker-clean drop-in and add keep-cache config first
thing in each job, before any apt activity. Also bump apt cache key
to v2 since the previous v1 was always empty.

Wait time on the Wine + Inno Setup step should drop from ~1m20s to
~10s on warm runs (debs already in /var/cache/apt/archives, dpkg
just installs them locally).

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.
