100+ countries / 190+ routes. Check the exit region first, then compare connection paths.
A region indicates where traffic exits to reach a service; a connection type describes how traffic gets there. Consider these separately. This page lists popular regions and route selection guidance. Check the dashboard after logging in for specific cities, route names, and supported protocols.
The table lists popular regions, not the full inventory. Connection types describe what to check; they do not permanently pair a region with a specific network topology. Check the dashboard for the cities, protocols, and connection paths actually available in each region. Streaming access also depends on platform region rules, account status, and how the exit IP is detected.
On narrow screens, scroll horizontally to view the table. Unconfirmed details are marked “Check the dashboard”; no configuration is inferred from a region name.

When choosing a region, first check the service’s location requirements, then consider the path from your local network to the entry point and from the exit point to the destination. If the app has no specific region requirement, start by comparing commonly used regions. Map distance is only a guide: internet traffic does not always take the shortest geographic route, and peering between providers can also affect the experience.
Route names may include a region, protocol, or topology label. These labels describe different things. The region indicates the exit location, the protocol affects how the client establishes a connection, and the topology describes the stages traffic passes through. Separating these details makes it easier to identify what to change when a connection does not behave as expected.
Connection types / Dedicated routes
How IEPL routes are organized
How it works: a section of the route is arranged separately
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. In a subscription service, the label describes how traffic is carried between the entry and exit points, not the entire internet connection. The connection from your device to the entry point still uses your local access network, and traffic from the exit point to the destination still depends on the destination’s network. When you see an IEPL label, check which part of the route it describes rather than assuming it guarantees the same performance for every connection.
Compared with routes that rely on public internet routing, a dedicated line can make certain parts of the connection more controlled. Whether that makes a practical difference also depends on access quality, capacity planning, exit conditions, and the destination service’s response. This page explains network topology and does not guarantee the performance of any individual route.
Cost: different resource models, not a fixed surcharge
Dedicated lines involve purchasing transmission resources and maintaining capacity, so their underlying cost structure typically differs from that of ordinary public internet routes. However, infrastructure costs do not translate directly into user bills, nor do they mean a specific route has dedicated capacity. VPN94 plan prices are listed on the Plans page and in the dashboard; route fees should not be inferred from the technical information here.
Whether an IEPL route should be your first choice depends on the task. If an ordinary route already handles your daily browsing, the IEPL label itself will not give you more content. If ongoing tasks keep getting interrupted, compare the results across routes. The goal is to get the task done, not to collect more complicated labels.
Connection types / Public internet routes
The difference between relay and direct connections
Relay
An entry point provides a different route to the exit
With a relay route, your device connects to an entry point first, which then forwards traffic to the exit. The extra entry point is not simply another hop: it can use a different network connection or peering arrangement to change the path between your device and the exit. If your local network has a better connection to the entry point, relaying may improve the overall experience. If the entry point is congested, it may become another place to investigate.
Relay routes are worth considering for everyday browsing and work, especially when a direct route to the same exit region does not perform as expected. Check the destination region before connecting, then verify that the app is actually using the selected route. The entry location is not the exit location, and its name does not tell you which region a website will detect.
Relays require entry, forwarding, and exit resources. Their cost depends on how those resources are arranged, not simply on the number of hops. Choose based on your plan and how well the route works for your tasks; do not assume relays are always more expensive or faster than direct connections.
Direct
Your device connects to the remote node directly
A direct connection generally means your device connects to the remote node without being forwarded through a service-side entry point. “Direct” does not mean there are no routers along the way, or that traffic travels in a straight line. The actual path still depends on your access provider, interconnected networks, and the remote network.
When routing from your local network to the destination region is suitable, a direct connection can be a clear, easy-to-compare option. It can also serve as a troubleshooting baseline: comparing direct and relay routes to the same region with the same app may help identify whether a particular section of the path is involved, but it cannot by itself establish the cause of a problem.
Direct routes involve a simpler service-side setup, but that does not guarantee a better experience or a lower plan price. Public internet routes can change with peering conditions and time of day. Keeping a working alternative is more useful than choosing based on the route label alone.
Use cases / How to choose
Choose a route for the task
First identify the task’s region and connection continuity requirements, then compare routes. Change one factor at a time so you can interpret the results. The steps below explain how to choose a route; they do not guarantee support for any particular region or app.
Everyday browsing
First check whether your usual sites load fully, including images, search, and pages behind login. Seeing the homepage does not mean every resource will load. If only a few sites have problems, check your routing rules, browser cache, and the site’s own status instead of switching every app to another region.
If there is no specific region requirement, choose an exit that works well in practice and is easy to use consistently. Keep a working alternative available, but there is no need to switch frequently just to try more regions. If your current connection gets the job done, changing routes can make it harder to diagnose issues.
Streaming
First check your account region, content library, and the platform’s rules, then test playback. Opening the platform, logging in, and playing the content you want are separate steps. Exit location detection may also change with platform policies, so regions listed here are not guaranteed to support streaming.
Check whether playback buffers repeatedly and whether video quality changes under similar conditions. If something goes wrong, compare different routes within the same region before changing the exit region. A suitable location is only one factor; playback also depends on your device, the content source, and your local connection.
AI Tools
Start by checking the tool’s supported regions and account requirements. A network connection cannot replace the platform’s checks for eligibility, accounts, or payment. After opening the site, test the features you need, including login, submitting requests, receiving streamed output, and uploading files. Do not treat a page loading as a complete test.
When a task involves streamed output or file processing, try to keep the exit region consistent. If an error occurs, first determine whether it was caused by a network interruption, an account notice, or a problem with the service itself, then try another route. For more on how protocols and paths affect persistent sessions, see the route selection guide.
Gaming
First check that your client supports the connection method required by the game, and confirm that your routing rules cover the game process. Being able to browse the game’s website does not mean the game connection uses the same route. Server region, matchmaking, and local network quality can all affect responsiveness; the exit country alone does not predict the result.
When comparing routes, use the same game server and similar conditions, and watch for responsive controls and dropped connections. Avoid switching exit regions repeatedly during a match. This is an international route subscription service; this page does not promise game-specific optimization.
Remote work
First follow your employer’s network and account policies, then check the requirements for shared documents, meetings, file uploads, and internal resources. Some systems monitor changes in exit location, and frequent region changes may trigger additional verification. Once a work session is established, keep using a route you have confirmed works.
VPN94 supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, with unlimited devices online at the same time. Device limits and an app’s session rules are separate considerations; check routing and connection status on each device. Find client downloads in the user dashboard.

Check / Record / Adjust
How to check connection results
Before comparing routes, pause other tasks that are using the network continuously. Note your local connection type, client, selected route, and the app where the problem occurs. Change only one thing at a time; if you change the protocol, region, and routing rules together, you will not know which change made a difference. Record only what you need for troubleshooting, and never share subscription links, account passwords, or other access credentials.
If no apps can connect, first check that your local network is working, your subscription is up to date, and the client has actually connected. If only one app is affected, check its status, account region requirements, and routing path. If just one feature fails, record what happened—for example, login succeeds but an upload stops—instead of simply saying “the route is unavailable.”
Congestion on public networks can vary by time of day, but one connection test is not enough to judge an entire type of route. Repeat the same task, then compare another available route in the same region. If the problem persists, contact support through a dashboard ticket and include when it happened, your client platform, route name, and the exact error message. Hide account and subscription details in screenshots before sending them.
