UPDATE 8/21/2022: Our school apparently made some changes to their filter, and instead of blocking discordapp.com
(rendering this whole trick useless), they decided to block updates.discord.com
, the domain Discord uses to check for updates. This still allows you to access Discord either via the website, or just by redirecting updates.discord.com
too. This guide has been updated to include this. <3
The filter at our school apparently wasn't smart enough to block discordapp.com
when blocking discord.com
. Since Discord hasn't
fully migrated yet, discordapp.com
will still fully work. In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to redirect discord.com
to
discordapp.com
using hosts.txt on Windows. (This method only works on Windows. You can likely Google for an alternative on Mac
and Linux. You need to be rooted on Android for this to work.)
hosts.txt is a file that redirects IP addresses to other IP addresses.
