01 / Regions

Browse routes by region

This table shows examples to illustrate regional coverage and route types; it is not a complete route list. Streaming entries suggest content you can try with each route, but do not guarantee ongoing access. Available titles, account region, and platform detection rules can affect results. Scroll horizontally to view the table on smaller screens.

Asia-Pacific

For services in Japan, Hong Kong, or Southeast Asia, start with the region where the service is based. If it has no strict regional requirements, compare nearby locations as well.

Example Routes in Asia-Pacific
Country / Region	City	Connection type	Streaming
Japan	Tokyo	Dedicated IEPL	Try content for Japan
Japan	Osaka	Relay	Try content for Japan
Hong Kong	Hong Kong	Dedicated IEPL	Try content for Hong Kong
Singapore	Singapore	Relay	Try content for Singapore
South Korea	Seoul	Direct	Try content for South Korea
Taiwan	Taipei	Relay	Try content for Taiwan
Australia	Sydney	Direct	Try content for Australia

North America

When accessing websites or media libraries for a specific region, check the destination first. Cities in the US and Canada help identify the exit location, but the same city does not mean the same connection type.

Example Routes in North America
Country / Region	City	Connection type	Streaming
United States	Los Angeles	Dedicated IEPL	Try content for the United States
United States	San Francisco	Relay	Try content for the United States
United States	New York	Direct	Try content for the United States
Canada	Toronto	Relay	Try content for Canada
Canada	Vancouver	Direct	Try content for Canada

Europe

European services may vary their available content by country. Choose a specific country when selecting a route; routes labeled “Europe” are not interchangeable exits.

Example Routes in Europe
Country / Region	City	Connection type	Streaming
United Kingdom	London	Relay	Try content for the United Kingdom
Germany	Frankfurt	Dedicated IEPL	Try content for Germany
France	Paris	Direct	Try content for France
Netherlands	Amsterdam	Relay	Depends on platform detection
Switzerland	Zurich	Direct	Depends on platform detection

Other Regions

If a service requires an exit in South America, the Middle East, or Africa, start by testing a route in the relevant region. If it does not require a specific location, there is no need to prioritize a less common region just because it is available.

Example Routes in Other Regions
Country / Region	City	Connection type	Streaming
Brazil	São Paulo	Relay	Depends on platform detection
Chile	Santiago	Direct	Depends on platform detection
United Arab Emirates	Dubai	Relay	Depends on platform detection
South Africa	Johannesburg	Direct	Depends on platform detection

How to read this table: “Try” means the region is a suitable starting point for testing the corresponding content; it does not guarantee that a platform, account, or title will work. Check the user dashboard after signing in for route details and availability. If you see a region error, confirm the exit location, then try another route in the same region.

02 / Connection Types

Dedicated, relay, and direct routes

These names describe connection paths, not a speed ranking that applies to every website. To decide whether a route works for you, consider the destination, your network, and the time of day.

Dedicated IEPL

Dedicated routes focus on how traffic travels across the international segment: traffic enters through the relevant access point, then follows a purpose-built link to the exit region. Compared with forwarding traffic hop by hop over the public internet, routing is more controlled. This can suit work sessions that need a consistent connection, remote collaboration, and situations where frequent route changes are undesirable.

Dedicated routes typically require more network resources, but “dedicated” does not mean every website will always load faster. Your experience also depends on your local connection, the destination service, and conditions at the exit. For a fair comparison, test the same destination at a similar time and compare the dedicated route with other connection types under the same conditions instead of choosing by name alone.

Relay

Relay routes pass through an intermediate access point before reaching the final exit. The extra hop is not simply a detour: if your local network has a poor direct route to an exit, routing through an access point may provide a better path for your current connection. Relay routes can work well for everyday browsing and region-specific services, and offer a useful comparison with direct routes.

Relay routes use additional access and forwarding resources, so cost and performance depend on the specific path. You cannot infer speed just from the extra hop. If a page loads slowly, try switching between relay and direct routes in the same region. If only one website is affected, also check the site itself and any account-region requirements.

Direct

Direct routes use a more straightforward network path from entry to exit, without an extra relay hop. Their simpler path makes them a useful baseline when choosing a route for the first time: try a direct route in the destination region, then decide whether to switch to a relay or dedicated route.

Fewer hops do not guarantee a more stable connection. Routes to the same region can differ across local networks, and performance may vary between peak and off-peak hours. Direct routes typically use different network resources from relay and dedicated routes, but there is no need to infer plan costs from a route name. See the Plans page for current subscription prices.

How to compare: Keep your device, network, and destination service the same, then switch between routes in the same region. Note whether pages load, streams play without interruption, and work sessions stay connected. This is a better guide to your experience than a single speed test.

03 / Use Cases

Choose a route for your needs

First check which region the app requires, then compare route types in that region. If the app has no regional restrictions, start with a route that works well for your everyday use. There is no need to chase different locations every time.

Everyday web browsing and research

Start with the region you usually need, then visit websites you actually use and check whether text, images, and sign-in work as expected. Browsing often involves multiple sites, so one page failing does not mean the entire route is unavailable. Refresh the page and check the service status before trying another route in the same region. If you need to access local and international websites at the same time, compare rule-based and global modes in your client to avoid unnecessary route switching.

Streaming and regional libraries

First check which region the content is available in, then choose an exit there. For example, try a Japan route for content available in Japan rather than choosing by connection type alone. Once you open the platform, check the library and playback results for your account. Licensing can vary by title, even within the same region, and platforms may change how they detect location. If you see a region error or persistent buffering, try another route in the same region, then check your account settings and playback device. This helps avoid mistaking library differences for a network problem.

Accessing AI tools

Each service sets its own supported regions and account requirements for tools such as ChatGPT and Claude. Check the tool’s regional rules, then use an exit in the relevant region to complete the full process: sign in, submit a prompt, and receive a response. Reaching the sign-in page does not guarantee that all features will work. If sign-in succeeds but requests fail, check account permissions and service status as well as the network route. Switching regions frequently may trigger account checks, so stick with a region you have verified whenever possible.

Game sign-in and sessions

Games can be sensitive to jitter, packet loss, and route changes, so do not choose a route based only on how quickly web pages load. Check the game server’s region, then test a route for that region on the same device and network. Judge it by actual sign-in, matchmaking, and gameplay. If the game lets you choose a server, check that setting too. If disconnections are frequent, first see whether your local network is also unstable, then compare direct, relay, and dedicated routes in the same region.

Meetings and remote collaboration

For work, prioritize keeping sessions connected over one-off loading speed. Test with the video meetings, documents, and remote work systems you actually use, then choose a route that performs well during your usual work hours. If only one enterprise app fails, check its sign-in method, company network policies, and in-app proxy settings. Do not repeatedly change the connection mode on every device because one app is having trouble. Save your work before switching routes during an active session.

04 / Practical Tips

From route list to real-world connection

Route names are a starting point; the final check is how they work with your device and destination service. The steps below are useful when trying a route for the first time or troubleshooting a specific app.

Choose a region first.If a media library or work system requires a specific region, choose the relevant country or region. Otherwise, start with the region you usually need. Do not treat the exit city as the only factor; account and service rules matter too.
Then choose a route.Start with a route that meets the regional requirements and check that basic access works. To compare options, keep your device, network, and destination website the same, then try another route type in the same region. This makes it easier to identify what is causing the difference.
Test the real task.For browsing, open the pages you use. For streaming, play the content you want to watch. For work, join an actual meeting or open a document. A diagnostic page only confirms that some requests work; it cannot replace testing the complete app workflow.
Keep routes that work.Note which regions and route types work well with your network and usual schedule. If performance changes, check the destination service first, then your local network and client mode, and finally try other routes in the same region. For ongoing issues, follow the symptom-based steps in the Troubleshooting Guide.
