What is a proxy, how does it work?
What happens between your player and your server, what Dep Proxy does and how to use it — in plain words.
What is a proxy?
A proxy is an intermediary between two parties. The player connects to the proxy instead of the target server; the proxy delivers the voice and brings the reply back. To the player, the address they connect to is the proxy's.
Direct connection
Players know the server's real IP address.
Through Dep Proxy
Players only see the Dep Proxy address.
Dep forwarding
Dep Proxy is a free forwarding service that carries TeamSpeak 3 voice through its own nodes to your target server. Only the TeamSpeak 3 voice port 9987 over UDP is forwarded. The voice itself is never touched or recorded.
Your community connects with a single Dep Proxy address.
Voice is relayed instantly through the node in your chosen location.
You do not need to share your target server address with players.
The voice journey
The animation below shows one voice packet travelling through Dep Proxy and back.

Why Dep Proxy?

Voice is never recorded; only what the service needs to work is kept.
FAQ
Is it paid?
No. Dep Proxy is free and non-profit.
Does ping go up?
A node sits in between, so latency depends on its location. Pick one close to your players and server.
Which port and protocol?
Only the TeamSpeak 3 voice port 9987, UDP only.
How does my server see players?
Players connect through the Dep Proxy node. If your server uses per-IP connection limits or IP bans, keep that in mind.
How many proxies can I create?
Up to 3 proxies per member.
How is my data protected?
Passwords are stored only as hashes and nobody can see another member's forwards. Details are in the Privacy Notice. Privacy →
