VPN routes by region

Coverage · Browse by exit location

The country or region tells you where traffic exits; the city helps pinpoint the location, while the connection type describes the route. These are different factors. A location name alone cannot tell you how well a route will perform or whether a website will work.

This is a regional index, not a complete route list or a guarantee of streaming availability. Coverage of 110+ countries and 250+ routes applies overall; not every connection type is available in every region.

Same region, different connection routes

When multiple routes show the same region, compare their full names and connection types rather than assuming they are duplicates. They may differ in their entry point, intermediate path, or exit, and the destination website may direct requests to different servers. Geographic distance is only a rough guide; test access on your own network.

The city field can help identify an exit location, but it does not indicate connection quality. If your account does not specify a city, do not infer a data center location from the region name. Streaming availability also requires careful interpretation: opening a website, signing in, and playing specific content are separate checks. Your account region, membership, and content licensing can affect the outcome.

IEPL, relayed, and direct connections

Routes · How they work, when to use them, and cost

Understand the connection path before comparing performance. The sections below explain common route types; not every type is available in every region. Check your account for the attributes of each route.

IEPL

IEPL: Focus on the cross-border segment

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. This type of route uses a private line for cross-border transmission, reducing reliance on public-internet routing across borders. Keep in mind that the connection from your device to the service entry point still depends on your local network. An IEPL label does not mean the entire path from your device to the destination website uses a dedicated link.

For video calls, remote desktops, and sustained data transfers, consider including an IEPL route in your comparison. These tasks depend not only on download performance but also on a consistent, responsive connection. During peak hours, check call audio, screen sharing, and page interactions—not just the route name. If your local Wi-Fi is congested, changing the cross-border segment may not solve a problem on your device or local network.

In general, private-line routes involve link leasing and capacity costs, so they typically require more resources than public-internet routing alone. However, a route name does not guarantee a particular experience or indicate that a plan includes dedicated resources. Actual VPNCG fees are listed on the plans page; do not infer additional charges from this explanation.

Relayed

Relayed connections: Reach an exit through an intermediate server

A relayed connection first reaches an intermediate server, which then forwards traffic to the exit. This changes the path compared with connecting directly to a remote exit. “Relayed” describes the forwarding setup, not a fixed speed tier. The entry point, subsequent links, and connection from the exit to the destination website all affect the experience.

For everyday browsing, collaborative documents, and streaming, compare relayed routes based on how they perform for your needs. If an exit region meets a service’s requirements but a direct connection performs poorly, look for a relayed option in the same region with a different entry point or route. Keep your device, network, and destination page the same while testing to make it easier to identify what changed.

Relayed routes generally incur costs for forwarding-server resources and data transfer, depending on the path and capacity. An extra forwarding hop does not necessarily make a connection slower, just as fewer hops do not guarantee greater stability. Compare performance on the tasks that matter to you instead of ranking routes by path length alone.

Direct

Direct connections: Connect straight to a remote exit

In this route classification, “direct” generally means your device connects to a remote exit through its access network, without an intermediate forwarding server on the service side. It does not mean traffic avoids your internet provider’s routing equipment, nor does it mean the destination app requires no other connection steps. This distinction helps avoid treating a route label as a performance guarantee.

For everyday browsing or occasional access, a direct connection may be worth comparing if the public-internet path from your network to the target exit is suitable. If performance changes significantly when you switch networks, check the access network and route first rather than repeatedly changing app settings. After traveling to a different location, check whether your previous route is still a good fit.

Direct connections typically avoid service-side relay resources but still require exit resources and transmission capacity, so they are not free to operate. Public-internet routes vary with network conditions, and a route that works well for one person may not suit another. Compare billing rules, refund terms, and performance on your actual tasks; do not assume the connection type corresponds to a particular price tier.

To compare billing options, see Plans and pricing. To understand how bandwidth, concurrent connections, and service choice relate, see the service selection guide.

Choose a cross-border route by use

Use cases · Start with your goal, then compare routes

First choose a region that meets the target service’s requirements, then compare routes in that region. Change one factor at a time. Switching devices, networks, and exit locations all at once makes it harder to tell what helped.

Everyday browsing: Check that the whole page loads

A webpage may load its text, images, sign-in services, and file resources separately. Seeing the homepage does not mean every feature is working. Choose a frequently used exit and open the websites you use regularly; check images, search, sign-in, and file access. If only a few sites have problems, first check whether the issue is specific to those services before changing your entire client configuration.

Rule-based mode can make it easier to handle different requests according to your configuration. After importing a subscription, check which mode your client is using before comparing routes; otherwise, a change in routing rules could be mistaken for a regional difference. See the client setup guide to get started.

Streaming: Check content regions and account access first

Choose an exit that matches the region for the content, then sign in to your streaming account and check the catalog and playback. Content licensing, account region, and how the platform identifies the exit can all affect availability. A matching region name does not guarantee that a particular title is available, and opening the homepage alone does not confirm that playback will work.

During playback, check buffering, seeking, and sustained viewing, and keep an eye on client data usage. High-resolution video depends more on a consistent connection, so test during the hours you usually watch. For guidance on content regions, see the streaming availability page.

AI tools: Separate network access from service eligibility

An AI tool’s website, sign-in system, editor interface, and file transfers may use different connections. When comparing routes, check sign-in, request submission, responses, and file uploads separately. Errors in an editor may also come from extension settings, app proxy settings, or the destination service’s interface. A single error is not enough to conclude that an exit is unavailable.

First check the target service’s published region and account requirements. A network connection does not replace account eligibility or paid access. Once you find a suitable exit, keep your setup consistent. Switching regions frequently can make troubleshooting harder and may prompt additional account checks from the service.

Gaming: Check whether game traffic uses the selected route

Game sign-in, content updates, and gameplay connections may use different network paths. Being able to access a website through your client does not mean game traffic is being handled as expected. Check the client and game network settings first to confirm that the current mode covers the relevant connections, then compare exits that match the game’s service region.

This routes page does not guarantee compatibility with every game. When evaluating a route, check whether sign-in works, gameplay remains responsive, and disconnections coincide with changes to your local network. If the game lets you choose a region, keep it fixed while comparing different routes.

Work: Test calls, screen sharing, and document saving

Work tasks vary in how much they depend on a continuous connection. Voice calls need sustained two-way transmission, screen sharing needs timely updates, and collaborative documents need to save changes reliably. Before an important meeting, test with your usual device, network, and meeting app. Check microphone, camera, and sharing permissions too, so an app permission issue is not mistaken for a route problem.

You can compare IEPL and relayed routes, but choose based on how they perform for your work tasks. Before accessing company resources remotely, follow your organization’s network and data-handling policies. Do not change existing configurations for internal company connections without checking with your organization’s IT support first.

What should you check before switching routes?

Connection troubleshooting · Keep test conditions consistent

Make sure your subscription is up to date and your account is in good standing

Sign in to check your subscription status and available data, then refresh the subscription list in your client. Route names or configurations in an old list may have changed, so a saved screenshot alone cannot confirm what is currently available. VPNCG supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Sign in to get your subscription; client access depends on your account’s subscription status. Do not post your subscription link publicly or share it with anyone who does not need it.

Use the same device and network, and repeat the same task

Compare candidate routes on the same device and access network, using the same page or app feature. If the results are poor, change only the access network to see whether the issue follows it. If a browser works but an app does not, check that the app is using the intended proxy settings. If all routes have problems, first confirm that your local network is working normally.

Understand the difference between data limits and device connections

Unlimited simultaneous devices does not mean unlimited data, or that each device has a separate data allowance. Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. When you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. If you use multiple devices, check your account’s data records to understand usage; unlimited devices do not make sustained streaming or file syncing data-free.

Provide details that help reproduce the problem

If you need help, note the platform, the full route name shown in your client, the destination service, the error message, and any changes you have already tried. Details such as whether a webpage will not load, sign-in fails, playback has issues, or a transfer is interrupted are more useful than “the connection is bad.” Hide subscription links, account passwords, and other sensitive information in screenshots. Submit the issue through account support tickets.

VPNCG offers a 14-day money-back guarantee. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. Choose a route based on the target region, your current network, and the task at hand—not coverage figures alone.

Not sure what to do next? Start with the connection and speed guides in the Help Center. If you are comparing costs, check monthly subscriptions and data add-ons on the plans page. Coverage tells you what options are available; testing helps you find the route that works for your current task. Use both to make your choice.
