How to Bypass the Discord Block on Linux

Discord is blocked in Turkey and the desktop app never opens. Instead of a system-wide VPN, I ran Discord alone through Cloudflare WARP. The VPN is up only while Discord runs and only inside Discord; the browser and everything else stay on the normal connection. The ISP sees the hostname sent in the clear during the handshake and cuts the connection — but only over TCP. The browser gets in because it reaches the same site over UDP (HTTP/3, QUIC); Discord's chat gateway runs over TCP only, so the app has no such option. Here is what changing DNS did and did not fix, the network namespace setup, and the leak tests, step by step.
