How To Fix Discord No Route Error?

What is Causing the Discord No Route Error?

We identified a few scenarios where this error might occur after investigating the issue and looking at various user reports. They are as follows:

  1. The IP address assigned to the PC was changed – This generally happens because Dynamic IP regularly changed. In this case, you have to just restart Modem + Router + Computer.
  2. 3rd party Firewall or Antivirus is blacklisting discord –Discord will not be permitted to maintain an outgoing connection with an outside server whenever it happens.
  3. The computer is using a VPN without UDP – Since Discord is designed to only work with VPN solutions that have UDP it is a regular occurrence.
  4. Discord is blocked by network admin – Discord can be blocked if you’re trying to use Discord at work or from a school network.
  5. Server’s voice region is incompatible with your client – a server hosted on a different continent is reported to happen when you try to connect. 
  6. QoS doesn’t work with your network – your network may not fit to support Quality of Service High Packet Priority so you can disable it from the Voice & Video settings

If the user is actively using a VPN solution that is not configured to use UDP  then this particular error is also reported to occur . This issue occurs because the Discord app is not designed to run with VPNs as they don’t use the User Datagram Protocol.

One can verify if the VPN is causing the issue by disabling it and also trying to connect to Discord to a new voice server.

Whenever you determine that your VPN solution is indeed causing such kind of issue.

You can opt for a different VPN provider or keep the “anonymity service” as disabled while you’re using discord If this method wouldn’t apply to your situation and continue down with the next method which is explained below.
