TL;DR: Unblock Discord from anywhere in the world with a VPN. The best service for unblocking Discord is ExpressVPN.


Discord has, from time to time, been banned in certain countries. And it's almost definitely a restricted site in a number of schools, workplaces, and locations where visiting Discord is not tolerated.

There are often sensible arguments for these bans, but sometimes, you'll simply want to access your favorite site when the time is right, but you won't be able to because a restriction is in place. In this situation, using a VPN is your best option.

If you're looking for the best way to unblock Discord for free from anywhere in the world, we have the information you need.

VPNs can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to secure servers in other locations. This process bypasses geo-restrictions so that you can access Discord from anywhere in the world. This process might sound complicated, but it's really not.
