Browse routes by region
These examples show regions and route types to help explain exit locations and route selection. They are not a complete inventory or a live status list. Sign in to see the routes, names, and regions currently available in the client.
Streaming availability: Access depends on the platform, exit region, account region, content rights, and the platform's own checks. The table does not promise a fixed content library or uninterrupted availability. The same listed region does not guarantee the same results across different routes.
Asia-Pacific
These regions may be worth considering for everyday browsing and regional content. A nearby location doesn't always mean a shorter route, so compare options on your own network.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Japan | Tokyo | IEPL | Results may vary |
| Japan | Osaka | Relayed | Results may vary |
| Hong Kong, China | Hong Kong | Relayed | Results may vary |
| Singapore | Singapore | Relayed | Results may vary |
| South Korea | Seoul | Direct | Results may vary |
| Australia | Sydney | Direct | Results may vary |
North America
Consider these locations when you need a North American exit. Factor in both the service's location and the region where your account is normally used, rather than choosing by city name alone.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Los Angeles | Direct | Results may vary |
| United States | Seattle | Relayed | Results may vary |
| United States | San Jose | Direct | Results may vary |
| United States | New York | Relayed | Results may vary |
| Canada | Vancouver | Direct | Results may vary |
| Canada | Toronto | Relayed | Results may vary |
Europe
If you need a European exit, start by filtering for the region relevant to your work. Follow your organization's access policies when working across regions; changing your exit location is not a substitute for identity verification.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | Amsterdam | Relayed | Results may vary |
| United Kingdom | London | Direct | Results may vary |
| Germany | Frankfurt | Relayed | Results may vary |
| France | Paris | Direct | Results may vary |
| Sweden | Stockholm | Direct | Results may vary |
| Switzerland | Zurich | Relayed | Results may vary |
Other regions
These locations may suit access needs or business checks that require a specific region. Don't choose a distant exit based on its label alone. First confirm the service needs that region, then check that you can complete the full task.

How routes differ
Dedicated routes, relayed, and direct connections
Route names describe how a connection is set up, not how well it performs. Understand the path first, then decide whether it suits your network and what you need to do.
IEPL
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. In network acceleration, it is often used for the segment between an entry point and an overseas exit, relying on a more controlled transport path to reduce dependence on changes in ordinary public internet routing. However, connections from your device to the entry point, and from the exit to the destination website, may still use public networks.
These routes may suit ongoing work, long sessions, or users who want to compare connection consistency at their usual times. Transport resources and maintenance generally cost more, but an IEPL label doesn't mean you have exclusive use of an entire physical link or guarantee a fixed speed.
Test the route with your actual tasks: check page response, session continuity, and file transfers. If your local Wi-Fi is unstable, switching to a dedicated route won't fix the connection between your device and your local network.
Relayed connection
A relayed connection first connects to an entry point, which then sends traffic to an overseas exit. This extra forwarding step shapes the route and may improve routing from some local carriers to certain overseas regions. Relayed describes the route structure; it does not mean the connection uses a dedicated line.
Costs typically cover the entry point, forwarding bandwidth, exit resources, and maintenance, and vary with the route setup. Relayed routes may be worth comparing if a direct overseas connection doesn't work well. They can also be an option for everyday browsing and video streaming.
An extra hop isn't automatically faster or slower. A relay closer to your local network may improve responsiveness, while congestion at the entry point or farther along the route can affect results. Compare using the same task rather than judging by the route name.
Direct connection
Direct usually means the client connects to an overseas server without going through a relay entry point configured by the service. “Direct” is relative to a relayed connection: traffic still passes through carrier networks and routing equipment, so it doesn't mean there are no intermediate hops between your device and the destination.
Direct connections have a simpler setup and use fewer relay resources, so their cost structure is generally lighter. Overseas exit costs, peering quality, and carrier routing still affect performance. When your local network has good connectivity to the destination region, a direct route can be a practical everyday option.
Compare direct connections across the networks you actually use. Good results on home broadband don't guarantee the same experience elsewhere, and a smooth connection during the day doesn't replace testing at your usual times. Keeping a backup route suited to your local network is more useful than saving just one region.
Choose by use case
Choose a route for your task
First decide which region you need, then compare the available routes there. Opening a webpage is only a first check; completing your full task without interruption is more informative.
Pages and resources load correctly
If you don't need a specific region, start with a commonly used Asia-Pacific exit, then compare other regions. Visit sites you use often and check that text, images, search results, and account pages all load. Seeing the homepage doesn't mean every resource is accessible: images, sign-in, and downloads may each use different services.
Keep the device, network, and website the same while changing only the route. Avoid changing several client settings at once, or it will be hard to tell what helped. Save routes that work well and keep alternatives of different types so you can compare quickly if your local network changes.
Check the region, then test playback
First check whether the platform serves your target region and whether your account meets its viewing requirements. The exit region affects the network location the platform sees, but it doesn't change account entitlements, billing region, or content rights. Platforms may determine your region differently, so success on one doesn't guarantee the same result on another.
Don't rely on the title list alone. Play content you're entitled to watch and check startup, seeking, and uninterrupted playback. Automatic picture quality can change with network conditions, so factor your quality settings into the test. If you see a regional restriction message, read the platform's guidance and verify your exit region; repeatedly switching countries isn't a substitute for troubleshooting.
Regional availability and session continuity
Before using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, check the service's supported regions and account requirements. A network connection is only one part of access; account eligibility and feature availability depend on the provider's rules and your account status. This service can't guarantee that a particular account will pass verification.
Choose a region supported by the tool, then try to keep your exit location consistent during use. Test sign-in, sending a request, receiving a complete response, and any file features you need. If the site opens but requests fail, distinguish between account messages, platform status, and connection drops. See the AI acceleration guide for more troubleshooting tips.
Compare routes based on game server location
First check whether the game's terms allow this type of connection and identify the region of its game servers. A nearby exit city may be worth testing, but doesn't guarantee a shorter route. Games are sensitive to interaction quality, so fast page loads or downloads don't predict how gameplay will feel.
Keep the game server region fixed while testing sign-in, loading into a match, and in-game responsiveness. Pause large background transfers. If the client rules don't cover the game's process, changing routes may not affect its traffic. Check the connection mode and app rules before trying more regions. A general international route isn't the same as a gaming-specific accelerator.
Consistent exit locations and workplace policies
For remote work, follow your organization's network and data-handling policies. Company systems may base access on region, device, or verification status; an international route doesn't grant additional permissions. If you need a fixed exit or dedicated IP, confirm that the specific service offers it. Don't infer that these resources are included from a standard server label.
Video calls, shared documents, and remote desktops each have different requirements. Before important work, check that audio stays clear, files sync fully, and sessions remain connected. Avoid switching routes during an important call or transfer, as a change in exit location may trigger re-verification or reconnects. Prepare an alternative route and switch between tasks when practical.
Verify the results
What to check after connecting
Check your local connection, exit location, and destination service separately to avoid unnecessary switching and make it easier to explain the issue to support.
Check your plan and client first
Confirm your plan status in the account panel, then refresh the route list as prompted by your client. If you recently changed plans, the client may still have old information. VPNXM supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, and the interface varies by platform. See the setup guide for import instructions. Your subscription link is an account credential; don't post it in public forums or documents others can access.
Check that your exit location is as expected
After connecting, use network check to verify your current exit location. Regional databases may be outdated or disagree, so one lookup can't replace the destination service's own region check. If the page still shows your original network, check whether the browser is routed through the client, whether the current connection mode covers the destination site, and whether another network tool is changing the route.
Keep conditions consistent before switching routes
If all sites are having problems, check your local network and client connection first. If only one site is affected, start with its error message. Keep the task and settings the same when comparing routes, and test again at your usual times. Changing the region, rules, and client settings all at once after an isolated page failure makes results harder to compare.
Report a reproducible issue
If the problem persists, submit a support ticket through your account panel. Include the platform, network, route, destination service, and the step where the issue occurs, along with any relevant error message. Hide your username, subscription link, and payment details in screenshots; never share your password. For more on account, connection, and billing issues, see the FAQ.
Use the directory to choose a route; test it with your actual tasks.Coverage across 100+ countries and 250+ routes gives you a range of exit locations, but results can vary by service. Checking your regional needs, route, and account requirements separately is more useful than choosing by the length of the list.
