Browse server routes by region
The table below shows how the route directory is organized and does not represent the only available cities. Overall coverage includes 110+ countries / 150+ routes; the current route list in the user panel is authoritative.
How to read this table: Country and city identify the exit region, while route type describes how the international path is arranged. “Streaming support” means the route is tagged for that use case, but platforms may change how they identify regions. If the library does not match, switch to another route in the same region.

Understand route types before choosing
IEPL, relay, and direct connections are not simply ranked from best to worst. They use different path structures, with trade-offs in stability, path control, resource cost, and regional coverage.
IEPL
IEPL focuses on a dedicated path between the entry and exit points. Compared with paths that rely entirely on public networks for each hop, a dedicated route is generally easier to keep stable and makes link quality easier to manage during periods of noticeable network fluctuation. It is typically suited to sustained transfers, video meetings, extended streaming, cloud workspaces, and tasks that require consistent connectivity.
Dedicated-route resources generally cost more to procure and maintain than standard paths, so they are not distributed evenly across every region. Do not choose a route solely because it says “IEPL”: if the target service is far away, a nearer relay route may be a better fit than a dedicated route crossing several regions. Regional matching remains the priority.
Relay routes
A relay route first connects to a nearby or better-positioned entry point, then uses an intermediate link to reach the target region. Its key benefit is avoiding an unfavorable direct path between the local network and a distant exit, allowing the entry point and exit region to be optimized separately. For cross-region access, everyday browsing, streaming, and AI tools, relays often balance coverage and connection performance effectively.
More hops do not automatically make a relay better. An effective relay reduces unstable segments rather than adding forwarding without purpose. Start with a nearby relay in the same region; when content requires a specific region, choose a use-case route in the relevant country. Relay resources generally cost less than dedicated routes but more than a simple direct connection.
Direct connections
A direct route connects the current network straight to an exit in the target region without an additional dedicated relay. Its structure is more straightforward and its coverage can be expanded flexibly, making it suitable when a specific region is needed, connection time is short, or the local network already performs well. Remote regions and less frequently used countries can often be covered effectively with direct routes.
Direct performance depends more heavily on the current access network and public paths between regions. The same direct route may perform differently across networks, locations, and times. It is therefore best treated as a regional-coverage and backup option rather than a universal solution. When the connection fluctuates, try another relay in the same region before considering a nearby region.
Choose international routes by use case
You do not need to test every region one by one. Identify the destination first, choose the region next, then compare route types within that region. This is usually more effective than focusing only on route names.
Everyday browsing and research
Everyday websites, documents, and code references benefit most from responsive, consistent connections and easy switching. Prefer a relay route in a nearby region; there is no need to stay connected to a distant region for ordinary websites. If pages load normally and search results show the expected region, avoid switching unnecessarily.
When working with websites from several regions at once, choose a broadly covered general-purpose route. If one site identifies the region incorrectly, switch to the target country. This reduces unnecessary long-distance paths and makes it easier to tell whether the issue comes from the route or the destination website.
Streaming and regional content
For streaming, check the content library’s region first, then review the route’s streaming category. Start with Japan for Japanese content and the United States for US content rather than judging by distance alone. Platforms may also consider the exit region, account region, and app cache, so reopen the app and check the library again after switching routes.
For continuous playback, try an IEPL or relay route in the same region first. If the platform opens but the library does not match, switch to another exit in that region instead of moving to a completely different country. Platform rules change, so page labels should be treated as a starting point only.
AI tools and development environments
AI tools may evaluate the exit region, sign-in state, and session environment together. Keep the region consistent and avoid switching countries repeatedly within one session. For a frequently used service, set a relay or IEPL route in its relevant region as the standard entry point and keep the browser and client environment stable.
If a webpage opens but task submissions are unstable, first switch route types within the same country instead of immediately changing accounts or altering many settings. For developer tools that use persistent connections, focus on whether the connection stays active rather than judging it by a single page-load speed.
Gaming and interactive apps
Game routing depends first on the game server region, not the region a player wants to display. Choose an exit near the game server and compare IEPL and relay routes in the same region. Games use different network paths, and sign-in, matchmaking, and live play may use separate connections, so normal web access does not directly predict in-game performance.
If sign-in works but gameplay is unstable, check whether the route matches the game server region and close unrelated high-bandwidth tasks. Direct connections suit cases where the local-to-target path is already good; when fluctuations are noticeable, try a relay or IEPL route in the same region.
Work, meetings, and cloud collaboration
Work scenarios prioritize session continuity. Video meetings, online documents, code repositories, and cloud consoles often use multiple connections at once, so a brief route change can trigger another sign-in. Set the target region before work begins, prefer an IEPL or stable relay route, and avoid unnecessary switching during the session.
If a business account follows a fixed regional policy, use an exit that matches the workspace. When access fails, check account permissions and the destination service status first, then replace the route within the same region to avoid misdiagnosing an account issue as a network problem.
How to evaluate route choices
The route directory provides options, not one fixed answer for every network and service. Testing in a consistent order reduces repeated switching and makes the source of a problem easier to identify.
Confirm the target region first
Determine which region the target website, content library, AI tool, or work system expects to see. When the region is clear, compare routes within that country; without a regional requirement, start with a nearby Asia-Pacific route. Do not change the region, client, and account environment at the same time, or it will be difficult to tell which adjustment helped.
Then compare types in the same region
Within one country, try a use-case-matched relay or IEPL route first, then use direct connections as a supplement. This compares path structures without mixing in differences in regional distance. If several entry points exist in the same region, test them one at a time rather than importing everything and switching back and forth.
Validate with the complete task
Opening a webpage is only a basic check. Streaming requires opening and playing content, AI tools require signing in and submitting a task, work systems require checking documents, meetings, or consoles over time, and gaming should be tested in the relevant server region. Real tasks provide more useful evidence than watching a connection button alone.
Keep an alternative route
After confirming a regular route, keep another route type in the same region as a backup. External paths and platform rules can change, so an alternative helps distinguish problems quickly. If every route in the region fails, check the local network, client configuration, and destination service status.
Global coverage and directory updates
VPNTB covers 110+ countries / 150+ routes overall. The table on this page lists representative regions and cities to explain the directory structure and route-selection process. For complete route names, current locations, and use-case categories, refer to the user panel after signing in.
Routes may change because of regional maintenance, upstream network changes, or updates to destination-platform rules. If a region is temporarily adjusted, try another route in the same country first. If no suitable entry is available there, choose a nearby alternative that meets the service’s regional requirement.
