VPN IR covers 90+ countries / 200+ routes. Routes are organized across Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and other regions, with connection types and streaming support clearly marked for easier decisions before connecting.
The table below shows representative regions, city entry points, and route categories. Actual entry points in your account are displayed according to currently available routes. Before connecting, review the route name, region, and purpose label together rather than choosing based only on city distance.

ROUTE TYPES
How to distinguish route types
IEPL, relay, and direct connections are not plan tiers; they are different transport paths. When choosing one, evaluate stability, target region, task duration, and usage cost together.
IEPL
IEPL: a more focused path
IEPL routes typically place the cross-border segment on a more focused transport path, reducing the impact of public-network routing changes on the connection. They are better suited to extended meetings, remote desktops, online collaboration, longer data transfers, and work that requires a consistent connection. Still, choose an entry point near the target service’s region rather than relying on the IEPL label or always using the same city.
These routes generally require more resource planning and maintenance than standard paths, so they are best reserved for important tasks. Light everyday browsing does not always need an IEPL route. Use a relay or direct route for ordinary access, then switch to IEPL before a meeting, delivery, or continuous transfer. This keeps route selection clear and matches each use case with an appropriate path.
RELAY
Relay: choose the entry and exit separately
A relay route first sends the connection to a nearby access point, then uses an intermediate link to reach the target region. Its main benefit is separating local access from the remote exit, so the entry choice is not entirely constrained by the target city’s distance. For everyday access to international websites, research, AI tools, image loading, and standard-quality streaming, relay routes are often a practical balance between path length and usage cost.
A relay route does not mean you should always choose the geographically closest exit. Check the target service’s regional requirements, the purpose label in the route name, and the connection quality between your local network and the access point. If a relay entry loads webpages normally but drops during sustained transfers, switch to another entry in the same region. If the target service requires a specific exit region, keep the region unchanged and change only to another route in the same group.
DIRECT
Direct: simple structure for backup and light tasks
A direct route connects from the local network straight to the remote exit, with fewer intermediate routing steps. Its structure is easy to understand and makes it quick to check whether the target region works. It suits temporary lookups, infrequent access, downloading public resources, and serving as a backup entry in the same region. When the target city is nearby and the local carrier’s route is favorable, direct access can also provide a smooth experience.
Direct routes depend more on the local network and the path selected by public routing, so performance may vary across network environments. No complex testing is necessary beforehand. Check each item against the actual task: whether the page fully loads, the login session remains active, file transfers stay continuous, and the content matches the selected region. If any item falls short, first change the route type within the same region, then consider changing regions. This is usually more effective than switching randomly.
SELECTION FLOW
Choose a route by use case
Route selection does not require chasing a single metric. Confirm the target region first, identify the task type next, and then verify the choice through actual access results. The scenarios below provide a repeatable decision sequence.
BROWSE
Everyday browsing and research
When accessing international websites, start with a nearby relay or direct entry. Once the page content, images, and login area load normally, continue using it without frequent switching. If a site serves different content by region, choose the target region’s entry rather than judging only by geographic distance. For continuous downloads of public resources, test a small file first to confirm transfer stability before starting a longer task.
STREAM
Streaming and regional content
Identify the content’s region first, then choose the corresponding entry marked “Supported” in the table. After connecting, close the target app’s background processes and reopen it so regional detection is established from the current exit. If the library does not change, try another streaming entry in the same region. Change countries or cities only when the content itself belongs to another region. Keep the route unchanged during playback to avoid the regional state changing mid-session.
AI
AI tools and development environments
AI tools often involve web sessions, API requests, file uploads, and long-form output at the same time. Choose a region where the target service is accessible, then prefer a relay or IEPL route. After connecting, complete the login and a short-request check first, confirming that output returns continuously before uploading files or starting a longer task. If the page opens but requests are interrupted, keep the region unchanged and switch to another route in the same group so the login environment and exit region do not change together.
GAME
Gaming and interactive tasks
Gaming and real-time interaction depend heavily on connection continuity. Choose an entry based on the game server’s region, then compare IEPL and relay routes within that region. Complete account login, updates, and resource loading before entering a live session, and avoid changing exits after the session begins. If the login service and game server are in different regions, finish the update first, then switch to the game server’s region and restart the client so the session is established from one exit.
WORK
Work, meetings, and remote collaboration
For work tasks, prioritize a stable session. Remote desktops, online meetings, enterprise dashboards, and continuous synchronization are best started on an IEPL route; ordinary email, document review, and light collaboration can begin with a relay. Before a formal meeting, complete connection, login, and audio/video permission checks instead of changing routes after it starts. For cross-region collaboration, use the business system’s deployment region rather than the participants’ locations. Save a local copy of important files before starting synchronization.
ROUTE CHECK
Connection checks before and after connecting
A consistent checklist makes issues easier to isolate than random route switching. Change only one condition at a time, and record the relationship between region, route type, and target service.
Confirm the target region first
Choose a country and city based on the website content, business system, or service region. If the target has no specific regional requirement, start with a nearby entry.
Choose the route type next
Use a relay or direct route for light tasks; for extended meetings, remote collaboration, and longer transfers, prioritize an IEPL route.
Reopen the target service after connecting
Let the website or app establish a new session from the current exit instead of carrying over regional cache and connection state from before the switch.
Keep the region and switch only within the same group
When a connection is interrupted, first change routes within the same region. Adjust the country or city only after confirming that the target region itself is unsuitable.
Keep the same exit once the task starts
Avoid frequent route changes during meetings, transfers, gaming, or long-form generation. If switching is necessary, save the current work and end existing sessions first.
