Use a SOCKS5 proxy with the Discord desktop app, test your bots from another country or keep a community account on a stable IP. Residential, mobile and static ISP options.
Discord does not have a proxy menu, but the desktop app is built on Chromium and accepts a proxy flag at start. Community teams use proxies to give an account a stable IP, to test bots and integrations from other regions or to reach Discord from restricted networks.
| Type | Why choose it |
|---|---|
| ISP (static) | Fixed IP, supports IP whitelisting so you can use a proxy without a password in the app flag. |
| Residential (sticky) | Billed per GB, flexible country choice. |
| Mobile | For testing the mobile experience. |
See the product pages for residential, mobile and ISP proxies, or compare all prices on the cheap proxies page.
Chromium’s --proxy-server flag does not accept a username and password for SOCKS5, so whitelist your own IP address on the proxy first and then start Discord like this on Windows:
"%LocalAppData%\Discord\Update.exe" --processStart Discord.exe --process-start-args "--proxy-server=socks5://HOST:PORT"Adjust the path if Discord is installed elsewhere. Use the proxy checker to confirm the proxy works first.

The Chromium flag does not take SOCKS5 credentials, so whitelist your IP with the proxy provider and leave credentials out.
A static ISP IP for a permanently fixed address.
No. That violates Discord’s terms and we do not support it.
