I'm heading to Turkey soon, and I'm wondering if I should get a VPN to keep in touch with my friends on Discord since the app is banned there. If anyone has info on how the ban works and the best way to access Discord, I'd really appreciate your advice! Thanks a lot!

You should definitely install ProtonVPN. They've got a free tier that works perfectly fine for accessing services like Discord without issues.
Yes, using Discord in Turkey is definitely possible with a VPN. You might want to look into a browser extension for VPNs, which can help you connect just through your browser. Some people have tried changing their DNS settings, but I found that didn't work for me. A VPN is generally the best option here for consistent access.
I recommend ProtonVPN too; it's one of the few legit options I trust for a safe connection while abroad.
Turkey tends to hijack public DNS routes, redirecting you to government-controlled sites. So, a VPN really is the best bet if you want to use Discord safely.
