Regional Routes
Global Location Guide
The tables below are a reference to regions, cities and route types—not a complete list of live routes. Check the client after logging in for current options, names and changes. Platform support not confirmed here is marked “Verify after connecting.”
Choosing a region is about more than geographic distance. Your exit region can affect the content a website displays, account risk checks and available media catalogs. Your actual experience also depends on your local network, access path, forwarding route and the target server’s location. Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore are useful starting points for comparing Asia-Pacific routes. If an account or work system requires a US or European exit, meet that regional requirement first, then compare routes in that region.
You can’t determine streaming support from a city or route name alone. Different exits in the same region may produce different results, and platforms can change how they check connections. Reaching the home page doesn’t mean the title you want will play, and successful playback doesn’t guarantee access to the full catalog. After connecting, open your own account and check the content, playback and available quality settings. Your subscription and platform permissions remain subject to the platform’s rules.

If you need a specific region, first confirm the corresponding exit in the client. This regional guide does not guarantee a particular city, route type or platform access result.
Connection Paths
Cross-Border Route Types
IEPL dedicated, relayed and direct describe how a connection is routed—not tiers of video quality, anonymity or access success. Cost comparisons reflect general differences in network resources, not additional fees for a plan.
IEPL Dedicated Line
IEPL is short for International Ethernet Private Line, a dedicated connection provided by carriers for traffic between regions. Compared with access that relies entirely on public internet routes, this type of connection emphasizes greater control over routing and transmission conditions. Access still depends on your local connection, exit forwarding and the target service working together.
Worth checking first for tasks that need consistent connectivity, such as video calls, remote desktops or ongoing document collaboration. Once connected to a dedicated line, test call audio, file sync and web response during the hours you actually use it. The route name alone is not a guarantee of performance at peak times. Unstable home Wi-Fi or issues with the target platform can still affect results.
Dedicated transmission resources generally cost more to procure and maintain than standard public routes. This page does not state the cost of any individual route or promise exclusive resources, and a dedicated line should not be confused with a residential broadband exit. Access to specific media content still depends on the exit IP and platform rules.
Relayed Routes
A relayed route adds a forwarding hop between your local connection and the final exit, combining different network resources along the way. The connection point and exit city may be in different regions. The region shown in the client is therefore best treated as a guide to the exit, not as a full map of where your data travels.
Relayed routes can suit everyday browsing, work and situations where you want to compare exits in different regions. They offer another routing option; more hops aren’t automatically better, and a relayed route isn’t necessarily faster than a direct one. If a route doesn’t work well at your usual times, keep the exit region the same and try another relayed route or route type to see whether it helps with your task.
Costs depend on the combination of access, forwarding servers, exit resources and maintenance. A relay may improve one part of a route, but it also adds reliance on the forwarding hop. When troubleshooting, distinguish issues with the target website, client settings and the connection path rather than attributing every failure to relaying.
Direct Routes
A direct route generally means the client connects to the target access server without an additional provider-side relay. Data still travels through carrier networks and internet routers, so “direct” doesn’t mean a physically straight path or a route with no changes along the way.
A direct route may be a good option when the path from your local network to the target access network is suitable, including for everyday browsing or regional services. Performance depends more directly on your local carrier and international routing conditions. If results vary significantly between networks on the same device, compare the local connections before trying another route type.
Compared with dedicated transmission and additional relay infrastructure, a direct route generally involves fewer resource stages, though costs still depend on the region and exit resources. A simpler setup doesn’t guarantee greater stability, and procurement costs are no substitute for testing it in practice. Check with websites, playback or collaboration tasks to see if it meets your needs.
Use-Case Matching
Choose an International Route by Use Case
Choose the target region first, then compare candidate routes. Change one factor at a time to better identify whether an issue is related to the route, your account or your local network.
Everyday browsing: test the websites you use
If you don’t need an exit in a specific region, start with Asia-Pacific options. Open the websites you use regularly and check that pages load fully, images appear and you stay signed in. Don’t judge an entire route by how quickly one home page loads: caching, website servers and browser extensions can all affect the result. Once you find a route that works for everyday use, stick with it; try another route in the same region only if you encounter a repeatable issue.
Streaming: check the catalog, then test playback
Platforms such as Netflix and Disney+ consider factors including your exit IP, account region, licensing and subscription status. Choose a region that fits what you want to watch, reopen the platform and play a specific title to make sure it’s available beyond the home page. Video quality also depends on your device, browser, platform plan and playback settings, so not every quality issue is caused by the route. If you see a proxy detection notice, save the error message, try another exit in the same region and follow the troubleshooting steps in the Complete Guide to Streaming Access.
AI tools: keep your exit and session consistent
When using AI tools such as ChatGPT, first check the platform’s supported regions and your account status, then choose an appropriate exit. Being able to open the site doesn’t mean your account has access to every feature; changing routes won’t resolve payment eligibility or account review issues. For long conversations, document uploads or generated results, check that your session stays active and uploads finish. Switching regions frequently may prompt additional account verification, so choose a route before starting and keep the same exit throughout your task.
Gaming: check the game mode and traffic coverage
Game sign-in, stores, updates and multiplayer sessions may use different servers, so being able to open a website doesn’t guarantee a good in-game experience. Check the game’s region and network requirements, then confirm that the client mode covers the relevant traffic. If only your browser uses the proxy, the game itself may not use the selected route. This service is a cross-border network acceleration subscription; this page does not guarantee performance for any specific game. Don’t ignore a platform’s account or transaction rules just to change your store region.
Work: prioritize reliable calls and collaboration
For remote work, compare IEPL dedicated and relayed routes using the meeting tools, shared documents and work systems you rely on. Check more than whether a page opens: listen for uninterrupted meeting audio, make sure screen sharing keeps up and confirm that document edits sync. If you use a corporate intranet or company VPN, follow your organization’s access rules to avoid conflicts with client routing. Test your connection before important meetings, and avoid changing routes or client modes during a call.
Connection Checks
Check Your Exit and Real-World Access
A connected status in the client is only the first check. Confirm that requests use the expected exit, then test with real tasks to decide whether the route fits your current needs.
For your first connection, get your subscription from the user panel and import it into a client. VPNPB supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux; log in to get your subscription. No email address is needed to create an account—just a username and password. Find client downloads in the user panel. For the full setup and connection walkthrough, see the Getting Started Guide.
After connecting, use this site’s IP Lookup to check your browser’s exit region. This only reflects the route used for that web request; it doesn’t replace checking other apps. In rule mode, some websites may use your local network while others use the selected route. If your browser results differ from an app’s behavior, check whether the app uses the system proxy and whether the client rules match the target service before trying another route.
To troubleshoot, first check whether your local network can reach everyday websites. Then confirm that the client subscription is up to date, the selected route is still listed and the connection switch is on. Next, try another route in the same region and compare the same task. If only one platform has an issue, note the specific page and error message. When contacting support through a user panel ticket, include your operating system, client mode, route name and what you were doing. Don’t share your password or full subscription URL.
Unlimited devices can be online at the same time, but their network conditions and client rules may differ. If one device connects successfully and another doesn’t, check the subscription, mode and system permissions on each one. All devices still use the traffic allowance associated with the account: monthly subscriptions reset traffic each month on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated for the remaining days; data packages remain available until used and never expire. Device count and traffic periods are separate considerations.
