Region names indicate the direction of network traffic, not guaranteed availability of content on third-party platforms. Streaming catalogs, account regions and access policies are determined by each platform. Being able to open a home page does not mean a specific title will play.

When reading route names, consider the region, city and connection type separately. The region helps determine whether a route meets a website’s location requirements; the city distinguishes exit locations within a region; and the connection type describes the route. None of these alone predicts the experience. Your local network, carrier routing, the target service’s status and time of use all affect connectivity. That’s why this page does not rank cities by performance or imply that every listed location is always available.

How each route connects

Dedicated lines, transit and direct connections

These are general explanations of how connection types work and how their costs differ, not speed guarantees for any specific route. Choose based on your network and the applications you use, not just the route name.

IEPL dedicated line

Dedicated transport across the international segment

IEPL generally refers to an International Ethernet Private Line. It uses dedicated cross-border transport resources to connect an entry point to a remote exit, reducing reliance on changes in public internet routing across the international segment. Your client still reaches the entry point through the local access network, and the exit still connects to the target website. So a “dedicated line” does not mean the entire connection uses an exclusive network.

Dedicated resources generally cost more to build and maintain, with their main benefit being greater control over the transport path. If you regularly join remote meetings, access work systems for extended periods or want to reduce connection fluctuations during your usual hours, compare the available dedicated lines first. Don’t assume that a route has exclusive bandwidth or that a dedicated line guarantees access to a streaming or AI service.

Transit

A gateway server forwards traffic along the route

A transit route first sends your connection to a gateway server, which then forwards it to the target exit. The gateway’s location, the connection between the gateway and exit, and the onward route all affect performance. An extra transit hop does not necessarily make access slower. If the gateway is a better fit for your carrier than a direct connection to an overseas exit, the overall route may be smoother.

Transit costs depend on gateway resources, transport method and exit resources; the name alone doesn’t tell you whether a route is expensive. Transit can work well for everyday browsing, research and general streaming, or as a backup for your usual route. If performance fluctuates, compare other gateways in the same region first, keeping the target region unchanged. Then check whether the task works again. Changing the gateway and exit at the same time makes it harder to identify the cause.

Direct

Connect directly to a remote exit

A direct connection generally means the client connects to a remote exit over the public internet, without an additional service gateway. The route is more straightforward, but performance depends more on your local carrier’s international routing and the network between the exit and target service. A shorter geographic distance does not necessarily mean a shorter network route.

Direct connections generally avoid transit resources, but the exit location and quality of resources still affect cost. They are not automatically cheaper or lower quality. If your current network already reaches a region smoothly, a direct route may be worth trying for light browsing or as a backup. If performance dips during busy hours, compare transit or dedicated lines on the same network and for the same task rather than ruling them out based on their names.

Connection type and plan data are separate things. A route name describes how the connection is made; a plan describes billing and available data. Don’t assume that a particular price tier includes a specific exit shown on this page. Check the plan details in the user dashboard before subscribing. Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. Data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. See the plans page for prices and billing details.

Start with the task, then choose a route

Choose a route by use case

The same route can feel different depending on the task. Judging by whether you can complete what you need is more useful than comparing route names over and over.

Everyday browsing

Stick with an exit that works well for you

Reading web pages, researching and accessing international websites usually don’t require frequent region changes. Start with an exit that meets the website’s regional requirements and works well on your network. Then check that images, attachments and sign-in pages load correctly. If some content is still missing after the page opens, check whether split tunneling is sending those domains along a different route before concluding that the connection isn’t working.

Keep one backup exit available and switch only when you run into a problem. Signing in from different regions repeatedly may trigger additional checks on the target website. For tasks that require an account, try to keep your access environment consistent.

Streaming

Test playback, not just the home page

Before streaming, check whether the content is available in the selected region, then review your subscription and the platform’s policies. Open the title and start playback to check that seeking, subtitle changes and continuous playback work as expected. Reaching the home page only confirms that the entry page is accessible; it doesn’t guarantee access to a specific catalog, account permissions or playback requests.

If playback buffers, first rule out an unstable local Wi-Fi connection or heavy traffic from other devices, then compare other routes in the same region. A dedicated line does not override a platform’s regional licensing. This service does not guarantee ongoing access to any specific platform or content.

AI Tools

Check supported regions and keep your exit consistent

Before accessing an AI tool, check the target platform’s supported regions and account requirements. Exit region is just one factor; account details, payment eligibility and platform security checks can also affect access. A working connection does not guarantee that an account is eligible. Avoid repeatedly changing regions to resolve account eligibility issues.

For everyday chats, file uploads and longer tasks, a reasonably consistent exit is preferable. If a feature doesn’t work after you sign in, compare other routes in the same region, then check your browser session, split-tunneling rules and the service status. If the platform explicitly says your account is restricted, follow its appeal or support process.

Gaming

Choose based on the game server’s actual location

Game sign-in, downloads and match connections may use different servers, so a successful sign-in alone doesn’t tell you whether a route is suitable. First check the game server’s region and whether your client supports the network transport the game requires. Then test connection stability in a non-critical match. Geographic distance is only a guide; the actual route matters more.

A cross-border network subscription service is not the same as a service optimized for a particular game. Switching exits won’t necessarily improve every game, and you should avoid changing routes repeatedly during a match. If the issue only affects one game, check the game’s service status and your local network settings first.

Remote work

Check your organization’s network and security requirements first

Work systems may require a corporate network, a trusted exit or an organization-approved connection tool. Check with your administrator before use; don’t replace a company-designated route with a public exit on your own. For tasks where it’s permitted, test video and audio calls, document collaboration and file transfers ahead of time rather than changing network settings right before a meeting.

For work, prioritize a connection that remains stable throughout the task rather than how it feels at a single moment. VPNName supports unlimited devices, but data use across devices sharing an account should still be managed according to your plan. Read the Privacy Policy for details. A no-logs policy does not replace security controls on work devices.

What to check after connecting

Tell route issues from app issues

Change one thing at a time and keep track of the steps that reproduce the problem. This makes it easier to identify what needs adjusting.

Check your local network and client first

First, make sure your local network can access familiar websites. Then confirm that the client is connected, subscription details are up to date and your plan is active. If all apps are affected, check your local network and client settings first. If only one website has a problem, investigate that service before switching all your routes.

Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux are supported. Get the client from the user dashboard. After signing in, you can access the client on all platforms except iOS; the iOS download link requires an active plan. For step-by-step setup, see the getting started guide for installation, import and connection instructions.

Then check your exit and the target service

After connecting, visit Network Check to see the exit information for the current request, then check your client’s split-tunneling settings to confirm whether the target app is using the intended route. The result only reflects that request; not all apps necessarily use the same route. Browsers and standalone clients may also use different proxy settings.

If another route in the same region works for the same task, you can keep using it for now. If the same account message appears across different exits, check the platform’s policies and service announcements. When requesting support, include your device platform, route name, when the issue occurred and the error message. Never share your password or full subscription URL. See the Help Center for common fixes, or visit the customer support page for assistance.

Choose a route based on your own use case. Coverage shows which regions are available; connection type describes the route. Whether a route works for your everyday needs still depends on testing it with your usual network and target apps.
