Does the game run under Wine? That will let you avoid Proton, which is Steam specific. You can also configure network access for specific programs under Wine.
OP specifically says they're using Kernel Level Anticheat, so it will never work
Also afaik proton can be used outside of steam, but I'm not an expert.
