REGIONS / ROUTE INDEX
Browse routes by region
The cities and connection types below are examples for route selection, not a list of currently available routes. The streaming column explains how to choose a route; it does not guarantee access to any platform at all times or for every account.
Asia Pacific
| Country or region | City | Connection type | Streaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong | Hong Kong | IEPL Private Line | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| Japan | Tokyo | IEPL Private Line | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| Singapore | Singapore | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| South Korea | Seoul | Direct | Test on the target platform |
| Taiwan | Taipei | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
Asia Pacific routes are a good starting point for everyday browsing and accessing tools. For region-specific content, first check which region the platform requires, then look for the matching route label in the dashboard. Different exits in the same region may also produce different results.
North America
| Country | City | Connection type | Streaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Los Angeles | IEPL Private Line | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| United States | New York | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| United States | Seattle | Direct | Test on the target platform |
| Canada | Vancouver | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| Canada | Toronto | Direct | Test on the target platform |
When accessing North American websites, a city name alone is not enough to determine whether a route is suitable. Check which regions the service allows, then test sign-in, page loading and ongoing use. For work with local teams, also make sure the exit region meets your organization's system requirements.
Europe
| Country | City | Connection type | Streaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | Amsterdam | IEPL Private Line | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| United Kingdom | London | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| Germany | Frankfurt | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| France | Paris | Direct | Test on the target platform |
| Switzerland | Zurich | Direct | Test on the target platform |
Europe includes multiple content markets, and neighboring countries do not necessarily share account access or content catalogs. For streaming, check the region shown by the platform. For work, choose the exit location specified by your company system rather than simply picking a nearby city.
Other regions
| Country | City | Connection type | Streaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | Sydney | Relayed | Choose and test a route for the target platform's region |
| New Zealand | Auckland | Direct | Test on the target platform |
| United Arab Emirates | Dubai | Relayed | Test on the target platform |
| Brazil | São Paulo | Direct | Test on the target platform |
| South Africa | Johannesburg | Direct | Test on the target platform |
When choosing a route across continents, start with the location of the service you need. For general websites, compare different connection types for the same destination region. For region-restricted content, also check your account region, the platform's rules and the exit location.
ROUTING / PATH COMPARISON
Understanding connection types
A connection type describes the route, not a guaranteed result for every visit. Each type may need to be tested separately across regions, network providers and destination websites.
IEPL Private Line
An IEPL private line typically connects an entry point and an exit through a purpose-built international transmission path, relying less on standard public internet routes across borders. Its defining feature is how the path is arranged. When regular routes are congested or indirect, a private line may be worth considering for sustained connections, though performance still depends on your access network, exit and destination service.
If you use AI tools for extended periods, collaborate remotely or stream long-form content, check the dashboard for private-line options in the relevant region. Private lines generally involve higher build and maintenance costs, so don't judge a plan by its name alone. Consider available regions, data needs and your actual connection experience.
Relayed routes
A relayed route first connects to an intermediate entry point, which then forwards traffic to the destination region. It offers another path for cross-border access; suitability depends on the entry location, onward routing and the destination service's region. A relayed route is not inherently better than a direct route, nor is it the same as a private line.
Relayed routes can be useful options to compare for everyday browsing, switching between sites in different regions and testing content catalogs. If a route doesn't work well in practice, keep the destination region the same and try another connection type there. This makes it easier to identify the cause without changing both the region and the route. Costs also vary with the resources and maintenance involved.
Direct routes
A direct route goes from your access network to the relevant exit without a separate relay entry point. Its simpler path makes it a useful baseline when comparing routes: check whether the target website opens, then see whether sign-in, page interactions and an ongoing connection meet your needs.
Direct routes generally don't require an additional relay, but the actual path still depends on network providers and the destination. For regular web browsing and quick lookups, try a direct route in the destination region first. If cross-border routing changes, compare a relayed route or private line in the same region. Cost differences reflect the routes and resources involved, not a fixed speed ranking.
When comparing routes, change one factor at a time: keep the destination website and device the same, try another connection type in the same region, then consider changing the exit region.
USE CASES / CHOOSE BY TASK
Choose a route for your use case
There is no single exit that works best for every task. Check the destination service's region requirements, connection method and session length before focusing on the route name.
Everyday browsing
For reading international websites, researching or handling general web tasks, start with a region allowed by the destination website. If there are no specific region requirements, choose a convenient exit in the dashboard and test your usual websites by signing in, searching and navigating between pages. Opening the homepage alone doesn't confirm that the full workflow will work. If page resources fail to load, check the website itself first, then try another route in the same region.
Streaming
First identify the region for the content you want to watch, then check whether the dashboard offers a route for that region. Connect, open the platform and check the content catalog it actually displays before playing the program you want. Account region, licensing arrangements and route exit are separate factors, so “choose by region” is guidance, not a promise of access. If the catalog doesn't match, check the exit region first, then compare other routes in the same region.
AI tools and development
Test web-based chat and developer tool calls separately. For web apps, start with a region supported by the service and check sign-in, session loading and how longer responses are handled. For development work, also watch for failed calls, retry behavior after timeouts and any exit-region requirements set by the service. Avoid switching exits frequently during a task, as this can change the region mid-workflow. If you use tools such as Cursor, test built-in features separately from the browser-based interface.
Gaming
First check where the game server is located, then see whether a route is available for that region. Gaming performance depends not only on the cross-border path but also on your local connection, the game server and the connection method. A website loading smoothly doesn't mean the route will work well in-game. Test it in the game before a ranked match or other important session, and keep the chosen exit stable. If you have connection issues, compare different types in the same region before changing both the server region and the route.
Remote work
Company systems may have specific requirements for login regions or access methods, so follow your organization's policies first. After choosing a compliant exit, check authentication, document collaboration, meeting tools and any work pages that need to stay open. If the system flags an unusual login, don't keep switching countries. Confirm that the exit region matches your account policy, then contact your system administrator. For teamwork, a stable workflow matters more than a single successful page load.
CHECK / AFTER CONNECTING
Verify your exit and maintain your connection
Choose a route in the user dashboard and import it into a client supported by this site. Confirm that the client shows a connected status, then open the My IP page to check your current exit region. The IP page shows exit information at the time of the check. If it doesn't match the region you selected, check the route currently selected in the client and test the destination website again. Don't rely on the route name alone to determine your actual exit.
Next, complete the key steps in a real task: open a frequently used page for browsing, play the target program for streaming, access your actual work system for office tasks, or complete a normal interaction in an AI tool. A website's response may depend on your account, regional rules or the site's own status. Check the destination website and exit region together.
The route list reflects availability in the user dashboard. If your current choice no longer suits your needs, keep the destination region and compare other paths there first. If you need to change regions, recheck the region requirements for your account and content. For client setup and connection instructions, read the Getting Started Guide.
