To help fix this, I built <strong>Discord Vanity Protector (DVP)</strong> using Discord's user APIs.</p> <h2> How It Works </h2> <p>The tool continuously monitors your server's vanity URL. If an unauthorized change or deletion happens, it uses a user token and password to automatically reclaim the vanity before snipers or nukers can grab it.</p> <h2> Why Rust? </h2> <p>Most existing anti-nuke tools are written in Python or JavaScript, which can be sluggish. I wrote this in <strong>Rust</strong> so it's:</p> <ul> <li>Fast enough to race snipers</li> <li>Lightweight enough to run 24/7 on a cheap VPS without eating RAM</li> </ul> <p><em>(If you prefer another runtime, there is also support for Node.js, Bun, and Python!)</em></p> <p>It is free, open-source, and self-hosted, so you keep full control over your tokens and data.</p> <h2> Check It Out </h2> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://assets.dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/faiz4sure" rel="noopener noreferrer"> faiz4sure </a> / <a href="https://github.com/faiz4sure/discord-vanity-protector" rel="noopener noreferrer"> discord-vanity-protector </a> </h2> <h3> High-performance Discord vanity URL protector in Rust with sub-millisecond recovery, automated password MFA verification, Windows Electron client impersonation, and multi-language support (Python, Bun, Node.js). </h3> </div> <div class="ltag-github-body"> <div id="readme" class="md"><div class="markdown-heading"> <h1 class="heading-element">Discord Vanity Protector (DVP)</h1> </div> <p>A high-performance Discord vanity URL protector written in Rust.
