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.
Not the Linux version unfortunately
It does (not sure how well), but it seems to be a paid feature. Found under Settings -> Split tunneling.
I don’t see it, care to elaborate?
I found it in the settings:
Under “Features”:
Thanks, I need to have another look then.
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
you can use nftables or
ip route
to route discord’s IP addresses through a different interface like a VPN, alternatively you could launch discord with proxychains, there’s many ways to do ithttps://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2023/04/wireguard-netns-for-specific-apps/

One of these should work
i usually run wireproxy with cloudflare warp (wgcf) for this purpose
zapret might also work
Might want to look into split tunneling.
Try zapret, find settings that work for you on it.
