So I have a VPN on my Linux (Mint) PC. Discord at one point didn't want to finish launching when I had it on; it would stall on the "Starting" popup with the actual discord window open but just a grey screen. Turning off the VPN and closing and reopening Discord allowed it to launch. Turning on the VPN at this point caused it to break somewhat, with me being unable to join voice chat or send messages, though if I was already in a voice chat, I would still be able to commune with the other voices. Launching discord from terminal while VPN is on shows the process stalling at "Splash.updateCountdownSeconds: undefined"

The issue sort of fixed itself though. After a while of having discord open with a VPN, it just kind of... stopped having the issue? I turn the VPN back on, it works as intended in all regards. I close discord and reopen, it opens with no issue. I have no idea what the original issue was at all. It's resolved but unknown what the resolution is, hence it's unsolved.
