Split VPN for Discord only

[mekabe remain]

I live in Turkey and Discord is blocked by DPI on our ISPs.
I am using OpenVPN on Asus router to reach discord. However, I don't want to tunnel all my traffic now because it severely decreases my internet speed.
Is there a way to distinguish Discord traffic on Asus merlin ? an addon maybe ?

Is discord using specific IP adresses ? Can I do it by split tunnelling / static routing on the router or on the vpn server side ?

btw, I read this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/discord-is-banned-in-turkey.92651/
but the solution there is distinguishing traffic on the PC using proxifier. I don't prefer that becaues I don't want to use a paid app and I don't want to add load on the PC using an additional app when my router can build the VPN tunnel.

thanks. I finally got some spare time to try this.
at first it didn't work. but then chatgpt suggested me to add some more domains:

discord.com
*.discord.com
discord.gg
*.discord.gg
discordapp.com
*.discordapp.com
discordapp.net
*.discordapp.net
discord.media
*.discord.media
discordcdn.com
*.discordcdn.com
discordstatus.com
*.discordstatus.com
dis.gd
*.dis.gd
discord.dev
discord.new
discord.gift
discord.co

and these additionally:
discord.design
*.discord.design
media.discordapp.net
images-ext-*.discordapp.net
gateway.discord.gg
status.discord.com
updates.discord.com
canary.discord.com
ptb.discord.com

after adding these all, it worked.
also filtering by AS number is possible but discord doesn't have a separate AS number. it uses cloudflare:
AS13335
