Usage of an always on vpn has become essential for me, since my country is blocking even mail.proton.me now, but I have found that discord blocks proton vpn connections what I am wondering is if this is also the case for the paid servers. My other option is to somehow exclude discord from vpn which I have read is complicated especially on linux. My country has long crossed to line and I don't wanna connect to the internet without a vpn at all anymore.
Are you using the paid version? OP's thinking about paying, but if Discord works on the free Netherlands server, perhaps one of us should let them know.
