From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Warpping Discord around a VPN (lemmy.zip)

submitted 1 year ago by joseplinux@lemmy.zip to c/linux@lemmy.ml

13 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Discord got banned where I live. I'm trying to find a way to route Discord to a specific proxy, or in other words warpring it around a VPN. I do not want to run a VPN system wide as this will significantly decrease internet speed, and also could affect connectivity in many games. Anyone has an effective way to do this? I'm running Bazzite on my system, and I use Vesktop as the Discord client, which is a flatpak. Any help is appreciated

Some VPNs allow you to select apps that are affected or not (proton does). That might allow you to route discord only via a chosen country.

It does (not sure how well), but it seems to be a paid feature. Found under Settings -> Split tunneling.

Could you run Tor and use the discord web browser version?

If all else fails, I'll probably end up doing just that, running discord inside a browser with a VPN extension

Try oniux for that, exactly what you need

Otherwise look into oniux and how to replace arti with wireguare/shadowsocks/xray/amneziawg

One of these should work

Try zapret, find settings that work for you on it.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 1 year ago

i usually run wireproxy with cloudflare warp (wgcf) for this purpose

zapret might also work

[–] utopiah@lemmy.ml 1 point 1 year ago

Might want to look into split tunneling.
