This page offers static route examples and guidance on choosing a route. Check the user dashboard for the available list, route names and current maintenance status. Regional coverage does not guarantee access to any specific platform.

REGION DIRECTORY

Browse routes by region

Routes are grouped by Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and other regions. The type shown describes a route option, not the only type available in that region. Sign in to the user dashboard for the full list.

How to read the streaming column: “Test each route” means checking the specific platform, account region and current exit location. It is not a guarantee across all platforms. Routes in the same city may also produce different results.

On narrow screens, swipe horizontally to view the table. Route labels describe the connection path; countries and cities describe the exit location. Read them together.

A nearby region doesn't always mean a shorter route

Distance is a useful starting point, but your local provider's peering, the entry point and the target site's hosting region also matter. A nearby route that takes a detour may perform worse than an exit farther away. Compare how everyday sites load from start to finish rather than relying on city names alone.

Broad coverage doesn't mean identical catalogs

Regional coverage determines your choice of exit locations. Video catalogs, AI tool eligibility and workplace system policies are set by each platform—not by the number of countries covered. For region-specific content, check the service's regional rules first, then choose a route in the relevant region instead of repeatedly switching to unrelated exits.

TRANSPORT NOTES

Dedicated, relay and direct routes

Route types describe how data travels, not a universal performance ranking. The explanations below cover general technical principles and cost differences; they don't replace testing a specific route.

IEPL

Focus on the cross-border segment

IEPL usually refers to an International Ethernet Private Line that carries data between designated access points. For users, the key point is that the cross-border segment uses a dedicated line—not that the entire connection is an exclusive channel. Other network segments remain between your device and the local access network, and between the exit and the destination service; these can affect performance too.

Dedicated lines generally require greater investment in capacity and maintenance. They may suit use cases where consistent connectivity, stable interactions and peak-hour performance matter, such as remote desktops, video meetings and extended work sessions. An IEPL label doesn't guarantee the same performance at all times. Test during your actual usage hours and keep an alternative route available rather than choosing by name alone.

Relay

Connect an entry point to an exit

A relay adds a forwarding hop between your device and the destination exit. Your device connects to an entry point first, which then forwards data to the exit. A well-chosen relay route can use better-connected networks and avoid unfavorable routing between your local provider and an overseas exit. The additional hop also means more nodes and links to manage.

Relay costs include not only exit resources but also entry resources, forwarding capacity and maintenance. You can't judge whether a route is more or less expensive simply by counting hops. Relays may suit cases where the direct path is poor, or for everyday browsing and mixed app use. Compare full page loads, sustained file transfers and whether the destination service accepts the exit region; don't assume relays are always faster or slower.

Direct

Relies on local international routing

Direct usually means your device reaches the exit over your local network's international routes, without an additional relay entry point managed by the service. “Direct” describes the setup, not necessarily the shortest physical path, and it doesn't mean the connection reaches the target app without passing through other networks. Routes can also vary between providers, even in the same region.

These routes generally avoid the service-side relay hop, but quality exits and network interconnections still cost money. That alone doesn't reveal the price of any specific plan. When local international routing works well, direct routes can suit browsing, research and access to services in specific regions. If performance fluctuates at peak times, compare relay or dedicated routes in the same exit region to separate regional factors from routing-path factors.

Route costs and plan prices are separate. This overview is not a list of route surcharges. VPNSN prices are listed on the plans page and in the user dashboard; unpublished fees can't be inferred from route types.

WORKLOAD MATCHING

Choose an exit by use case

First identify the region your target service requires, then compare connection types. An exit that works well for video may not suit work apps that need a stable session.

Everyday browsing and research

If you don't need a specific region, start with a nearby exit. Check whether search results, page images and attachments load normally. If only one site has issues, compare other routes in the same region before switching all connections to a distant region. This makes it easier to tell whether the site itself is the problem or the current route isn't a good fit.

If your client supports split tunneling, follow the relevant guide to check that its rules match your needs. Apps that need international access can use a different route from local apps, avoiding unnecessary connection changes. Confirm split tunneling in the client settings and by testing the apps themselves.

Video streaming and regional catalogs

First identify the region for the content you want, then choose an exit there. Platforms may also consider your exit IP, account region, payment region and device status, so reaching the home page doesn't guarantee that a title will play. Test the specific title, subtitles and uninterrupted playback; don't rely only on the region shown on the page.

If you see a region restriction message, check your account's eligibility rules, then try another route in the same region. If playback works but keeps buffering, check your local network and connection path. Switching regions repeatedly can make troubleshooting harder. For catalog detection and common errors, see the streaming guide.

AI tools and developer services

Before using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Cursor, check the service's current supported regions and account requirements. An exit in a supported region only meets a network-level condition; it doesn't establish account eligibility. After signing in, also check that prompts, streaming responses, file uploads and developer tool requests complete normally.

During work, stick with a verified exit where possible, and avoid switching routes while generating content or uploading files. If a desktop app fails while the browser works, check whether the app is actually using the client's proxy settings. Verify network connectivity and app configuration separately. For troubleshooting steps, see the ChatGPT access guide.

Gaming and interactive apps

Choose a route based on the game server's region, not your account or store language. Sign-in, updates and gameplay may use different network services, so downloading game files successfully doesn't guarantee a suitable gameplay connection. Test the full connection process using methods permitted by the game, and follow the publisher's regional and network-use rules.

For interactive apps, a stable connection often matters more than short bursts of download speed. Local Wi-Fi interference, background updates and shared bandwidth across devices can all affect performance. This service makes no game-specific performance guarantees. If a game doesn't work as expected, keep the error message and submit a support ticket for troubleshooting.

Work and long-running sessions

Work systems may require an exit in a specific region, or your organization may restrict login locations. Check your organization's policies first, then select a work region; keep the route stable during meetings, remote desktop sessions and document syncs. If your company requires a dedicated address or fixed exit, don't assume a standard regional route meets that requirement.

VPNSN supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, with unlimited devices connected at once. Each device still needs its own subscription import and proxy rule check, and all devices share the traffic allowance of the selected plan. Verify one device before configuring the rest to reduce troubleshooting variables caused by app differences.

CONNECTION REVIEW

Connection checks and troubleshooting

Change one condition at a time to distinguish local network issues from route or target app issues. There's no need to use the same exit for every purpose.

Start with your local connection

First confirm that your device can connect to the internet normally. Then check that you've imported the subscription and that the client shows a connection. If the route list doesn't match the dashboard, refresh it using the client's subscription update option. Your subscription URL is account information; don't post it publicly or include it in screenshots.

Next, keep the target site and exit region fixed while comparing route types. If switching local networks resolves the issue, check the original network configuration first. If only the target app is affected, keep its error details; a connected status in the client alone doesn't prove the app is working correctly.

Give support the context they need

When reporting an issue, include your platform, client, route name, destination service, when it happened and the route changes you've already tried. You can share an error screenshot with sensitive details obscured, but never include your password or full subscription URL. A clear set of reproduction steps is more useful than simply saying “the connection is slow.”

Check the help center for account and connection issues. If you still need help, open a ticket through the dashboard. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. Client downloads and subscription access are available in the user dashboard.
