Browse Routes by Region

First check which exit region the service you want to use requires, then compare the available route types to that region. The table does not show speed tests, load or live connection status.

The directory uses a consistent format: country/region, city, route type and streaming availability. Cities and types illustrate how to choose a route; current names, types and availability are shown in the user panel. Streaming notes reflect testing and are not a guarantee of ongoing access.

Asia-Pacific

Nearby exits are a useful starting point when troubleshooting everyday access. Proximity can help narrow the options, but actual routing, local network conditions and the destination service’s location all affect your connection. Map distance alone does not determine quality.

Other Regions

Routes in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East serve specific regional access needs. If an app doesn’t require a particular region, there’s usually no need to choose a more distant exit. Longer cross-region routes should be checked against your actual tasks.

Route Types and Trade-offs

Route type describes how traffic travels through the network. Protocol describes how the client and server communicate. Region indicates the exit location. Evaluate each separately.

IEPL

Managed cross-region transport segment

A good option for tasks where continuity and consistent routing matter.

IEPL routes typically use carrier-provided Ethernet private transport to connect access points in different regions. Compared with paths that rely entirely on public internet routing, private transport segments are easier to manage. Keep in mind that the path from your device to the access point and from the exit to the destination website still uses other network segments. An IEPL label does not mean the entire route is on a private network.

Video calls, remote desktops and ongoing AI sessions are good candidates for this type of route. Focus on interruptions, reconnections and dropped sessions during the task, not just how quickly a webpage first loads. If your local Wi-Fi is unstable, troubleshoot the network near your device first; switching to a private route won’t fix local connectivity.

These resources typically cost more to procure and maintain, but that does not necessarily mean an extra charge from this service. Plans and available resources are listed in the user panel. This page does not list separate prices for IEPL routes or promise a dedicated exit or exclusive transport capacity.

Relay

Route traffic through an access node

Useful for comparing route quality and regional coverage.

A relay route first sends data to an access node, which then forwards it to the exit. This lets you take a different path: connect to a suitable entry point before continuing across the network. More intermediate nodes do not automatically mean a worse experience. If the access point and cross-region path are a better fit, a relay can be smoother than connecting directly to the exit.

Relay routes can be considered for everyday browsing, streaming and general collaboration. If performance changes during peak hours, compare different access paths to the same exit region first; this usually makes it easier to pinpoint the issue than repeatedly changing countries. Keep the device and destination app the same during comparisons so that app caching, background downloads or Wi-Fi changes don’t skew the results.

Relay routes require access, forwarding and exit resources. Costs depend on the specific route and resource setup, so the word “relay” alone doesn’t indicate whether a route is more or less expensive. A relay is not automatically a private route. Check the current node details rather than treating every forwarded route as having the same network characteristics.

Direct

Connect directly to the exit server

A straightforward connection when the route is clear.

A direct connection links the client to the destination exit server without an additional service-side relay. Traffic still passes through your local provider, backbone networks and peering points, so “direct” does not mean a physically straight path or no intermediate network equipment. Routing depends on the networks along the way, and even nearby cities can be reached by a circuitous path.

When the public route from your local network to the target exit is clear, a direct connection can work well for everyday websites, documents and region-specific sites. If connections repeatedly fail or performance differs sharply between peak and off-peak hours, try a relay or IEPL option in the same exit region. This keeps the region constant while changing the access path, making it easier to identify where the problem lies.

Direct routes typically require fewer service-side relay resources, but exits and network maintenance still have costs. A simpler setup doesn’t necessarily mean a worse experience or lower security. Network topology and communication protocols are separate considerations. For more on protocol trade-offs, see the Protocol Guide.

Choose an Exit for Your Use Case

Meet the region requirements first, then test your actual tasks. Reliable access depends on a suitable route and a consistent environment, not frequent server switching.

Everyday Browsing

For regular websites, research and documents, start with an available route in a nearby region. If a site requires a specific region, follow that requirement. Otherwise, choose a route that reliably loads pages and images and submits forms. A homepage loading successfully doesn’t confirm that every feature works; sign-in, search and file uploads may connect to different servers.

Keep a regular route and a backup option; there’s no need to cycle through the entire directory. If one site has problems while others work, first check whether the site is down or your session has expired before switching routes.

Streaming

Before streaming, check the platform’s service regions, account region and library requirements, then choose a matching exit. Being able to open the homepage doesn’t mean a particular title will play. The catalog, sign-in checks and video delivery may use different criteria. That’s why the table’s streaming notes are based on testing and don’t promise ongoing access from any particular region.

Test an actual title and check playback, seeking and uninterrupted viewing. Keep the exit region consistent during playback to avoid triggering another region check. If something doesn’t work, compare other routes in the same region first. For more troubleshooting tips, see our Streaming Guide.

AI Tools

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other tools each have their own service regions and account requirements. Choose an exit that meets the relevant platform’s requirements. Network connectivity is only one condition for access; it does not replace account eligibility or feature permissions. Route type also cannot establish properties of an exit address. Labels such as “residential IP” or “dedicated IP” cannot be inferred from a country label.

For ongoing use, exit consistency and session stability matter more. Once you’ve chosen a suitable region, keep the route stable and test sign-in, prompts, extended generation and file operations with real tasks. If only a specific feature fails, distinguish platform permissions from network issues, then see our AI Tools Guide for more troubleshooting.

Gaming

Choose an exit based on the game’s actual server region, not the language displayed in your account. Launcher sign-in, update downloads and in-game connections may use different services, so a working launcher doesn’t guarantee a good gameplay experience. Compare routes based on in-game performance, and check that your client mode and protocol support the game’s network requirements.

Avoid switching exits mid-match; a route change may interrupt an active connection. If gameplay stutters, pause downloads using your network, check your local Wi-Fi, then compare options aimed at the same game region. This service offers international route subscriptions; it does not claim that general network acceleration is optimized for every game.

Remote Work

Prioritize continuity at work. Check voice, screen sharing, input responsiveness and file sync separately across meetings, remote desktops and collaboration apps. Test these functions before important work begins and keep a working route in reserve. Avoid changing your connection just to compare servers during a meeting.

For corporate access, follow your organization’s network and data policies. Corporate clients and personal network tools may both modify routing, so check for rule conflicts if problems occur. High-Speed VPN supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux and unlimited devices. Actual performance should still be checked on each device and network.

Connection Checks Before Switching

Change one clearly defined condition at a time and keep track of what you can reproduce. This makes it easier to distinguish issues with your local network, access path or destination app.

Check Your Subscription and Client First

Check your subscription status in the user panel, update the subscription in your client using the guide, then confirm that the selected node is in the current list. Older names saved in your client may differ from the current panel; don’t assume an old list is complete. Your subscription URL contains personal access credentials. Don’t share it publicly or include it in troubleshooting screenshots.

For your first import, see the Getting Started Guide. Get the client through the user panel; this page does not provide installers or public subscription URLs.

Then Check the Task and Route

Keep the device, target app and test steps consistent. Compare different route types in the same region before changing exit regions. If every route has issues on one device, check your local network and client settings. If only one app is affected, check its account, region and service status first.

If you still need help, use the support ticket portal and include your device platform, node name, use case and reproducible steps. Share the error message, but don’t include passwords or full subscription details.

Route coverage indicates the available range of options. Your experience depends on the access environment, network path and destination service. Match the region, route type and use case one by one for more useful comparisons than focusing on a single label.
