Cant Get Freedom In Internet (VPNs are not working)

Hi,

I use paid Proton VPN (Secure Core) but I cant access discord. I also used +2 vpn conf too. Still same then I use warp(cloudflare). So surprisingly 4 VPN can not give me geographical barriers/obstacles.

What should I do ? My friends use Windows and use VPNs installed via setup that modify the configuration settings. I don’t really trust those VPNs. Besides, I don’t want to mess up my configuration settings permanently just by transferring files. It’s a free VPN that everyone uses. Also, as far as I know, there isn’t one for Linux.

I’d even be willing to pay $50 a month—or even more—to rent a server that’s as reliable, stable, and easy to use as a computer abroad.

Can you try another VPN server?  Some have gotten blocked.

Alternatively, a Wine solution could be somewhat isolated and you can throw the bottles out to sea.

I tried a few but only 1 secure core. I will try another servers. GUI is not working sadly. It was working.

I didn't understand the Wine solution

Have you tried accessing discord from a browser while the vpn was active ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

I would first try Lone_Wolf's idea, trying to use discord.com web app via browser instead of the native discord app.

By Wine I refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine which can run almost any Windows software, like the VPNs you mentioned.
