To unblock Discord on a device, there are a number of options available at your disposal. However, arguably the cleanest and easiest method is through a VPN.

A VPN is short for Virtual Private Network and essentially acts as a mask for one’s IP address. Not only can a VPN has a layer of protection for one’s device, but it can also alter the location of one’s device in order to access apps and sites that could be geo-locked or blocked on an Internet connection. VPN connections, for those wondering, are legal to use. Thus, you won’t have to worry about doing something illegal.

There are a number of free and paid VPN options to choose from, like NordVPN and ExpressVPN, among others. So, it’s wise to do research before selecting a VPN to use.

Alternatively, Discord users could also use a public web proxy. Public web proxies essentially allow users to search the Internet with these, without having an IP address be detected. Much like with VPNs, there are a number of both free and paid public web proxies to choose from. 4everproxy and HideMyAss (HMA) are among the most notable public web proxies.
