Browse Routes by Region
The examples below show countries, cities and route types. They are not a complete list of available locations, and not every combination is always available. Check the user panel after signing in and your client subscription for current routes, names and exit locations.
Asia-Pacific
A useful starting point for everyday browsing comparisons. Distance is only a guide; your actual route also depends on your local network, carrier peering and the destination website.

IEPL, Relayed and Direct Routes
Route types describe how data travels, not how fast a connection is. The following explains general technical principles; check the panel for specific infrastructure and availability.
IEPL
When Route Control MattersIEPL generally refers to an international connection carried over a dedicated Ethernet link. Its cross-border segment uses a different transport arrangement from routes that rely entirely on public internet peering. However, your local network connection to the service entry point and the connection from the exit to the destination website still affect the overall experience. A route label is no substitute for end-to-end testing.
These routes may suit activities sensitive to session continuity, such as remote work, ongoing interactive tasks or extended streaming. If you often experience buffering in the evening, compare a dedicated route with other types using the same exit region. Check whether your task remains stable rather than relying only on the client's connection test.
Dedicated transport involves link resources and capacity planning, so its cost structure typically differs from that of public internet routes. This page does not infer a separate price or guarantee fixed performance. Plan fees follow the monthly subscriptions or data packages listed on the pricing page.
Relayed
How Entry Points and Exits Work TogetherA relayed route adds a forwarding step between you and the final exit. The client connects to an entry point first, then traffic travels through an intermediate path to the exit. The connection between the entry point and your local carrier, the forwarding path, and the connection from the exit to the destination service all shape the experience. As a result, routes with the same city as their exit can perform differently.
Relayed routes can work well for everyday browsing, research and apps that require a specific exit region. If a connection is unreliable, keep the exit region the same and change only the entry point or route type. This makes it easier to tell whether the issue is with the network path or the destination service's regional or account requirements.
Relaying requires forwarding resources and maintenance, but how those resources are allocated matters more than simply adding a hop. A relayed route is not necessarily slower than a direct one, and route type alone does not determine cost. Compare task completion, session continuity and performance at the times you use the service.
Direct
How Your Local Network ConnectsA direct route generally means the client connects to the exit service without an additional service-side relay entry point. “Direct” does not mean data travels without passing through other network equipment, nor does it guarantee the shortest path. Public internet routing and carrier peering still shape the actual route.
If your local network connects reliably to an exit, a direct route may be a good option for everyday use. If performance is inconsistent at certain times, compare it with a relayed route in the same region. Results can vary across home and office networks and access carriers, so don't assume someone else's preferred location will work best for you.
Direct routes generally reduce service-side forwarding steps, but that doesn't mean every direct resource costs less. Exit resources, regional availability and maintenance all affect costs. Treat route names as descriptions, not quality tiers; what matters is whether the route reliably gets your task done.
Choose an international route for your needs
Start by listing the regions and connection types your apps require, then run a few repeatable comparisons. Change just one factor at a time so you can interpret the results.
Everyday Browsing and Research
If you don't need a specific region, start by comparing Asia-Pacific exits. Check whether pages, images and files load on websites you use regularly. A homepage loading doesn't guarantee that sign-in, search or file resources will work; test your actual workflow instead of repeatedly refreshing a blank test page.
Once you find a route that works well with your local network, keep it as your daily option and save another as a backup. If only one website has problems, check its status and your client routing rules before changing exits. Frequent switching makes it harder to identify the cause.
Streaming
Check the platform's service regions, account region and content licensing before choosing a matching exit. Loading the homepage, seeing the catalog and playing a video are separate checks. Before playback, confirm the app's traffic uses the selected route; a browser and a standalone app may follow different connection rules.
When comparing routes, keep the content and playback settings the same. Check continuous playback, seeking and playback after reopening the app. Exit IP detection can change, so a static table cannot guarantee access to a particular catalog. For platform requirements and verification tips, see the streaming guide.
Using AI Tools
Before using ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, check the tool's regional policies and account eligibility. A route provides network connectivity; it does not grant permission to use a platform. Once you choose an eligible exit, keep the session in the same region where possible and avoid switching frequently during sign-in or a task.
Don't just check whether the website opens. Test that conversations continue to return responses, file uploads complete and the client's routing rules cover the relevant requests. If the page loads but a task fails, note the error and determine whether the cause is an account restriction, service issue or network path. See the AI tools access guide for more.
Gaming and Real-Time Apps
Choose a location that matches the actual game server, not the region of your account's store. The launcher, update downloads and in-game connections may use different addresses or transport methods. Normal web browsing does not confirm that a route will work for gameplay.
Check compatibility between the game and client, then test joining a match, playing continuously and reconnecting. VPNYR's international route coverage does not mean every game has a dedicated optimized route. If connecting directly from your local network works better for the task, there's no need to change the route just for gaming.
Work and Remote Collaboration
Choose an exit that complies with your work systems' access rules. Some organizations restrict sign-in regions or require a specific corporate connection method. Before a meeting, remote desktop session or large file transfer, make sure the route won't conflict with your company's network settings.
Keep your route stable during work where possible. Changing exits can trigger session reauthentication or interrupt a transfer. If you need to troubleshoot, save your work first, then compare a backup route in the same region. Unlimited devices make it easy to connect different devices, but each device's network environment and settings still need to be checked separately.
Connection Checks and Route Maintenance
Check “can connect to the route” separately from “can complete the task” to avoid unnecessary switching.
Start with Your Current Subscription
Sign in to the user panel to get your subscription, then update it in your client before choosing a route. An old list may contain names or configurations that have since changed, so don't use it to judge current coverage. Get the client and subscription from the panel, avoid configurations from unknown sources, and never post your subscription link in a public discussion.
Confirm the current connection mode, then try the target app. If only one app has a problem, check whether it follows your system connection settings. If several websites are affected, compare your local network with a backup route. Keep other conditions unchanged so you can tell whether changing the path fixed the issue.
Describe Issues with Reproducible Details
When asking for help, note your client platform, route name, when the issue occurred, the app involved and the full error message. A specific description such as “the page loads, but uploads fail” in a panel support ticket is more useful for troubleshooting than “the route doesn't work.” Before sharing screenshots, hide subscription links, account credentials and private content.
There's no need to keep changing exits as part of routine maintenance. Compare routes again only when a task fails, the path changes or your regional needs shift. For detailed setup, connection and maintenance steps, see the complete manual. If you're new, follow the getting started guide to set up your client.
