[SOLVED] Can not circumvent Turkish ban on Discord using VPN

I used to be able to connect to discord.com (or open the Discord app or Vesktop and use Discord) normally 2 days ago, but for some reason today it says the certificate is self-signed.

I am using an OpenVPN (protonvpn TCP) connection to circumvent the Turkish ban on Discord. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

My networking setup: connect to GSBWIFI (turk telekom dormitory) on phone, login to captive portal on phone, tether the connection to laptop using USB, connect to VPN using OpenVPN

Solution: As you can see from the ping output, the DNS requests weren't made over the VPN. Modifying the connection through nmcli and manually entering ipv4 DNS addresses for 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, then restarting the computer fixed my problem.

Understandable. Please feel free to reply when the block on Discord is lifted and is no longer unlawful to access.

I am marking this post as SOLVED as I have solved the problem.
