Route directory by region
The entries below are static examples of countries or regions, cities and route types. They illustrate how to choose a route; they are not a complete coverage list or a list of routes currently available to your account. Check the user panel for current regions, route names and types.
Streaming availability: This directory does not label every route as streaming-compatible. Different exits in the same region may be identified differently by a platform. Content libraries, licensing and account region can also affect playback. Check directly on the platform you plan to use.
Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is a good place to start comparing routes for everyday access, but geographic proximity does not guarantee a shorter network path. Your ISP, international routing and the destination’s hosting location can all affect performance.

Europe
European exits can be useful when you need access to local content or work systems. A website may run on a distributed infrastructure, so its exit city does not need to match the company’s listed location. Check page loads, file transfers and session continuity instead.

IEPL, Relay and Direct Routes
Route types describe how a connection is routed, not a universal performance rating. The notes below explain general networking principles; they do not imply that every route uses the same setup or guarantee dedicated resources.
IEPL: A focus on international routing control
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. In network acceleration services, the term usually means that a route includes procured international transport resources, reducing reliance on changes in ordinary public routes across the international segment. Connections may still use public networks between your device and the service entry point, and between the exit and the destination. A private line does not mean that one provider controls the entire end-to-end path.
These resources generally cost more to procure and maintain, and may suit office work, long sessions or access during peak hours where connection continuity matters. Judge a route by whether your target service works consistently, rather than assuming that a private-line label means every website will be faster. Congested home Wi-Fi, background transfers on your device and congestion on the target platform may still need to be addressed separately.
- Useful for comparing session continuity and performance during your usual hours.
- A private-line label does not mean a dedicated exit or guarantee streaming playback.
- Check the user panel for the current route type and availability.
Relay: Route traffic through an entry point
A relay route sends your connection to a service entry point, which then connects it to the exit. This adds a routing step, but may avoid a poor public route from your local network directly to the exit. What matters is how well the entry point and onward route work together, not simply how few steps the connection takes. Different ISPs can also get different results when connecting to the same entry point.
Costs typically include entry-point resources, intermediate transport and exit maintenance, so the region name alone doesn’t tell you what a route costs. Relay routes can suit everyday browsing, content access and use across a range of websites. If one relay exit works while another doesn’t, keep the entry conditions the same and compare the exits first. Changing several settings at once makes it harder to locate the issue.
- Compare exits for the same use case instead of adding routing steps without a clear reason.
- Note your local network conditions to distinguish an entry-point issue from a destination-service issue.
- Useful for building a set of regular and backup routes.
Direct: A simpler setup, with performance shaped by routing
A direct route generally connects your device to the service exit over the public internet, without a dedicated relay entry point. “Direct” does not mean a straight-line geographic path or that the connection avoids other network operators. Public networks still route traffic according to their own policies, which can vary with your local connection, the time of day and the destination.
This setup generally has fewer relay-entry resources involved, but that doesn’t mean a particular plan will cost less or that direct routes are always worse than relay routes. If the public route from your local network to the exit works well, a direct route can be suitable for everyday access. If performance varies during your usual hours, it makes sense to compare relay or IEPL routes. Route costs depend on how resources are arranged; refer to the published prices on the plans page.
- A practical everyday choice when public routing from your network works well.
- Recheck your usual exit whenever your network conditions change.
- Don’t treat a route type as a promise of speed or reliability.
Choose an International Route by Use Case
Start with the task, then choose what to test. Loading a homepage confirms only that one page request succeeded; it doesn’t show whether the same exit will work well for video playback, large uploads or work sessions.
Choose an exit that works consistently with the sites you use
For browsing, research and everyday messages, start with a region that keeps your connection steady, then try the websites you use most. Check that images and page assets load properly and that you can keep browsing after signing in; don’t judge by how quickly the homepage appears alone. Once you find a suitable route, save it as a regular option to avoid choosing again each time. If one site has trouble, compare a backup exit just for that site.
Check the region and content library, then test continuous playback
Streaming depends on the platform’s region detection, your account access and a sustained connection. First check whether the content is available to your account in that region, then play the actual program and see whether the picture quality remains steady. After switching routes, reopen the platform to check which region it detects. If you see an account or licensing restriction, follow the platform’s rules; not every playback issue is caused by the route. See the streaming access guide.
Check service-region rules and long-session continuity
AI tools may check your account region, connection source and eligibility separately. Confirm that your intended use is allowed, then test signing in, submitting a request and receiving a response over a longer session. Keeping a suitable exit is often easier to troubleshoot than switching regions frequently. If you see an access notice, note its wording and check the platform’s guidance. A network connection handles data transport; it does not replace platform account permissions.
Test the actual game server, not just the region name
Game lobbies, update services and match servers may use different routes, so being able to sign in to the launcher doesn’t prove that a route is suitable for gameplay. Check that the game’s rules allow the network setup, then test connection continuity and look for interruptions on the actual game server. Don’t switch exits repeatedly during a match. If something goes wrong, end the session before checking your local network and client settings. This service does not guarantee compatibility with every game.
Check sign-in, meetings and file collaboration in one workflow
For work, test the complete workflow: sign in to your work system, open a shared document, upload a file, then check meetings or remote collaboration. Your organization may restrict exit regions or require a specific corporate connection method; follow its requirements first. Confirm your route before an important task and keep conditions consistent while working. Don’t include sensitive files or access credentials in a problem report; share only the information needed to troubleshoot.
Connection Checks and Billing
The route directory helps answer where you connect and how traffic is routed; plan terms explain how data is used. Check them separately—route names do not determine your account benefits.
Change one condition at a time
When comparing routes, keep the device, local connection and destination website the same, and change only the exit. If you also change Wi-Fi, client mode and region, it’s hard to tell what made the difference. If something goes wrong, first check your account and client connection status. Then determine whether all websites are inaccessible or only one service is affected; in the latter case, check for maintenance notices or region restrictions from that service.
Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux are supported platforms. Get clients and subscription access through the user panel: visit the client downloads page rather than copying subscription settings from an unfamiliar site. For setup, see the getting started guide; to compare plans, read the plan selection guide.
Keep directory details separate from account details
VPNFee covers 90+ countries / 220+ routes. The example tables on this page do not list every route. Use the directory to understand regions and route types, and the user panel to check what’s currently available to your account. Refer to the panel for the latest route information. If you’ve saved an older route name, check whether your client subscription has been updated rather than repeatedly connecting with outdated settings.
This service follows an anonymous, no-logs operating policy. Route descriptions do not imply authorization or partnership with any destination platform, and access results may vary by region. For help, use the support ticket system in the user panel to describe the platform, your local network and the issue. Do not include your password or full subscription URL.
