DESTINATION / REGION
Explore Route Examples by Region
Examples from Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, the United States and France show how regions correspond to routes. Listed cities are examples of exit locations, not fixed data centers, fixed IP addresses or a complete inventory of servers.

A working connection does not guarantee that all content on a platform will play. Regional catalogs, account eligibility and how a platform identifies your exit are separate factors. This table does not promise ongoing support.
Think of the region as the destination on a passport, and IEPL, relay or direct as the path to get there. A region may offer different routes, and the best choice can vary with your local network and the service you want to access. Don’t judge performance by city distance alone, or assume one route’s results apply to an entire region.
Coverage describes the service as a whole; it does not mean every region uses the same route type or every exit suits the same applications. If the client list differs from the examples on this page, update your subscription first, then choose from the names currently shown in the client. For a regional content catalog, first check where the content is available. For general browsing, there’s no need to choose a farther exit and add uncertainty to the route.
CONNECTION PATH / ROUTE
IEPL, Relay & Direct Connections
The following explains route types, not speed rankings. A route name is no substitute for testing the connection on your network.
IEPL: Focus on the Cross-Border Leg
IEPL generally refers to a route that uses an international Ethernet private line for its cross-border leg. Its value lies in how the route is organized, not in a promise that it will always be faster. The connection from your device to the entry point still depends on your internet service, Wi-Fi signal and client settings. Changing routes won’t automatically improve the destination website’s response time. For extended viewing, remote collaboration or long sessions, consider this route and check whether it stays usable without frequent interruptions.
Private-line capacity typically involves different resource arrangements from standard public internet transit. That does not tell you the separate price or any extra fees for a particular VPNYP route. Check the plans page for subscription prices; don’t infer pricing from route names.
IEPL
- Local Network Access
- Entry Point & Private-Line Segment
- Regional Exit & Destination Service
Focus on continuity throughout the session, not just the initial connection.
Relay: A Route via an Entry Point
A relay route sends your connection to an entry point first, then forwards it to the exit. An extra forwarding step doesn’t necessarily mean a worse experience; if the entry point and onward route better suit your network, it may work more smoothly in practice. Relay routes can be useful for everyday browsing and apps, or as an alternative when a direct route performs poorly. Evaluate the whole experience—opening pages, loading images and streaming continuously—not just whether the client says you’re connected.
Relay routes coordinate entry, forwarding and exit resources. Their cost depends on capacity and routing, so they shouldn’t automatically be considered the cheapest option. Compare routes in the same region first. Changing both region and route at once makes it harder to tell what affected the result.
Relay
- Local Network Access
- Entry Point Receives and Forwards Traffic
- Regional Exit & Destination Service
Whether the entry point suits your network matters as much as the exit region.
Direct: Connect Straight to a Regional Entry Point
Direct generally means the client connects to a service entry point in the destination region without a separate upstream relay. The name describes how the connection is arranged; it does not mean the physical distance is shortest or that data avoids your ISP’s routing. Public internet routes, peering and your local network all affect performance. A direct route can suit access to a specific region when it performs well on your network, and can also be compared with a relay route.
Direct connections skip the resources used for an upstream relay, but exits and public internet capacity still have costs. That doesn’t necessarily make them cheaper. If a connection is troublesome, keep the destination region and try another available route. If the region as a whole isn’t suitable, consider changing regions instead of repeatedly reconnecting to the same entry point.
Direct
- Local Network Access
- Public Internet Routing
- Regional Entry Point & Destination Service
“Direct connection” does not mean there are no intermediate network devices.
USE CASE / PURPOSE
Choose a Route for Your Needs and Keep a Suitable Exit
Decide what you need to do before comparing routes. Opening a webpage, streaming smoothly and maintaining a work session are different things to test.
Everyday Browsing
If you don’t need a specific region, start with one that works well on your current network. Try a few familiar sites, and check that images and other page resources load properly before continuing. If the homepage opens but some content doesn’t, split-tunneling rules or other domains used by the site may be involved; the exit country may not be the issue.
Once you find a suitable route, keep it as a regular choice. Recheck the connection when switching from home internet to public Wi-Fi, since the entry point’s reachability and public routing may change. A route that works on one network may not work the same way on another.
Streaming
First check the region where the title and catalog are available, then choose an exit in that region. Judge the result by actual playback: seeing a title or opening its details page doesn’t mean playback requirements have been met. Platforms may check your IP location, account region, plan eligibility and device capabilities. Changing routes won’t override those requirements.
To compare routes for extended viewing, use the same device and picture quality settings. If just one platform won’t play, check the message from that platform first. If several services are affected, check your network and client. For more on regions and account requirements, see the Streaming Guide; for an overview of platform use cases, see Streaming Access.
Using AI Tools
Check the tool’s supported regions and account eligibility first, then choose an exit in an eligible region. A route provides a network connection; it does not change account requirements, payment region or platform rules. If the sign-in page opens but you can’t start a session, distinguish a network error from an account message or a service restriction.
For longer chats, file uploads or content generation, stay on one suitable exit where possible to avoid rebuilding the session mid-task. If something goes wrong, note the message shown before testing another route. Avoid rapidly switching between regions, which can make network issues hard to distinguish from account security checks.
Gaming
Find out which service region the game actually connects to, rather than relying only on the region of your account or store. Downloads, updates and gameplay may use different services, so a fast download doesn’t guarantee a good in-game connection. Also check whether your current routing mode actually covers the game; changing routes may have no effect if its traffic isn’t being routed through the client.
This service is a cross-border network acceleration subscription, and does not promise dedicated optimization for every game. Judge whether it suits your needs by the game’s connection, session stability and in-game responsiveness. If the game offers an official network diagnostic, use it to help identify the issue before changing routes.
Remote Work
Follow your employer’s access policies first and confirm whether using a subscription route to access work systems is permitted. Company networks may require a specific exit, separate authentication software or access approval. A standard international route cannot replace those permissions. Business systems, file storage and meeting software may also have different access requirements.
File sync, video calls and remote desktops depend on a stable connection. Before starting important work, open the business system and complete a routine task. Keep the same exit during use, and avoid switching routes mid-upload or meeting. When reporting an issue, include the client route name, network type and error message so support can understand the path in use.
TROUBLESHOOTING / CHECK
How to Check Whether a Connection Works for You
Confirm Traffic Is Routed, Then Check the Destination Service
A connected status in the client confirms the connection state, not that every app is using the same route. Check whether you’re using rule-based routing or another traffic-routing mode, and make sure the target app isn’t set to connect directly. Browsers and standalone apps may behave differently. If a webpage works but an app doesn’t, check each separately instead of repeatedly refreshing the browser.
Change One Thing at a Time
When troubleshooting, keep the destination website, device and network the same. First try another route in the same region; if that doesn’t help, change regions. This makes it easier to see whether the issue comes from a specific entry point, regional exit or local connection. If you change the device, region and app settings at once, even a fix won’t tell you what made the difference.
Treat Different Error Messages Differently
If the connection can’t be established, first check that your subscription is up to date, your plan is active and the client configuration is complete. If a website opens but sign-in fails, check the account and platform messages. If only video playback fails, check the catalog, licensing region and playback device first. For widespread access issues, check your local network and look for configuration conflicts with other network tools.
If you need help, use the support ticket in the user panel to describe the route name, destination service, what happened and what you’ve already checked. Don’t share subscription links, account passwords or login credentials in public screenshots. If you’re unfamiliar with the controls, start with the Getting Started Guide. For connection issue categories, see the Support page.
SERVICE ACCESS / ACCESS
Routes, Subscriptions & Devices
Consider data usage alongside your route and plan. Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated for the remaining days. Data add-ons last until used and never expire. If you often stream video or sync files, choose a plan based on your actual usage, not just the exit region. See the Plans page for full pricing and billing details.
VPNYP supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, with unlimited devices online at once. Different devices can use routes that suit them, but more devices don’t mean separate data allowances. Check your account’s actual usage, and don’t mistake device support for an additional data allowance.
Create an account with a username and password; no email address is required. Download the client and get your subscription through the user panel after logging in. Downloads are available with an active plan. Keep your subscription link secure and don’t share it publicly as an ordinary URL. If the route list changes, update your subscription in the client and check the available routes again.
