Browse routes by location
VPNOY covers 110+ countries and 240+ routes. The table below provides a reference for locations, cities and route types to help explain where different exits may be useful. It is not a complete inventory or a live availability list. Route names, currently available types and changes are shown in the user dashboard after login and through client subscription updates. The same country or region may have different entry points, forwarding paths and exits, so check both the route name and its type when choosing.
“Verify with the target service” means you cannot determine streaming availability from the exit country alone. Platforms process requests based on account region, content licensing, exit detection and client status. Results may also vary between platforms on the same route. Before streaming, try the specific content you want to watch rather than checking only whether the platform homepage loads.

Route types and resource costs
Route types describe how data reaches an exit; they are not a ranking of connection performance. The full path also includes your local network, access provider, routing from the exit to the destination website, and the destination service’s own processing. When comparing routes, keep your device, network and task as consistent as possible. Results from different conditions cannot be attributed directly to route type.
IEPL dedicated lines: how cross-border paths are arranged
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line, used for a relatively controlled cross-border segment of a route. Compared with relying entirely on public internet routing, this type of resource places more emphasis on planning the cross-border segment. It can suit sustained transfers, remote collaboration or regular use during peak hours. Local access and the destination service’s network are still part of the path, so the route label alone cannot guarantee consistent end-to-end performance.
From a resource perspective, dedicated lines typically involve higher procurement and maintenance costs. When evaluating one, check connection continuity during your working hours, whether file transfers are interrupted, and whether your target apps work as expected—not just the route name. IEPL does not mean the entire line is exclusively yours, nor does it guarantee faster access to every website. Check the service details for specific resource arrangements.
Relayed routes: connecting an entry point to an international exit
With a relayed route, the connection first reaches an entry point and is then forwarded to the destination exit. This separates local access from the international exit, making it possible to choose paths for different network conditions. Results depend on the entry location, the link between entry and exit, and routing from the exit to the website. An additional forwarding hop does not automatically mean a slower connection; the overall path matters more.
These options combine entry, forwarding and exit resources, so cost cannot usually be inferred from geographic distance alone. For everyday browsing, research and general office work, start by comparing relayed routes. If an exit performs poorly on your current network, try another route type in the same region first. This helps distinguish a path issue from a destination-region issue without changing too many variables at once.
Direct routes: relying on the public path from your network to the exit
A direct route generally means the client connects to the exit without an additional service-side relay entry point. The setup is more straightforward, but results depend more on your local provider’s international routing and the quality of access to the exit. When the path from your network to an exit is suitable, a direct route can work well for browsing and lighter tasks. If it is not, changing client settings alone may not improve the experience.
Direct routes use fewer relaying resources, but that does not mean they cost less in every region. Exit resources, network access and maintenance still vary. A direct route can serve as a comparison or backup for your regular route, and may help identify whether an issue lies in a forwarding segment. “Direct” does not mean your device bypasses your internet provider’s network.
Route resource costs are not plan prices. For current VPNOY pricing, see the plans page. Do not infer additional fees or dedicated resources from the route descriptions on this page.
Choose an exit and route for your needs
Start by identifying the region required by your target service, then check connection continuity, and finally consider transfer efficiency. Geographic proximity is only one factor; network traffic does not always follow the shortest physical path. Keeping a regular exit and a backup makes results easier to reproduce and troubleshooting easier than choosing from the full list each day.
Everyday browsing: check that all page resources load
For reading international websites, research and documentation, start by trying a relayed or IEPL route in Asia-Pacific. Check that the page text, images, sign-in redirects and attachments all open—not just the homepage. If the main page loads but attachments fail, they may use a different domain, so check whether your client rules cover it. Confirm that requests are taking the expected route before changing exits.
Streaming: check regional availability and playback separately
First confirm which region the content is available in, then use the corresponding exit to open the specific title. Access to a platform homepage does not mean a title is licensed for playback, and playback starting successfully does not guarantee a smooth long viewing session. Check whether video quality changes frequently, playback resumes after seeking, and subtitles and audio tracks work as expected. Account region, available titles and how a platform identifies exits can change. This service does not present route labels as a guarantee of permanent platform access.
AI tools: keep the same exit throughout a session
Before using AI tools such as ChatGPT, check the target service’s published regional and account requirements. A network connection only addresses the access path; it does not replace account eligibility, paid access or platform review. Keep the same exit when signing in, sending requests and uploading files where possible. If an error occurs, save the message and distinguish network failures from account restrictions or service outages. Frequently switching countries can complicate session checks and is not a good routine troubleshooting method.
Gaming: distinguish downloads from gameplay connections
Game downloads, updates, sign-ins and gameplay may use different servers and transport methods. A successful download does not show that a route is suitable for gameplay, and opening a game website in a browser does not confirm that the client is using the expected path. Check the game region and client proxy compatibility first, then test connection stability outside a live match. If a game requires specific transport support, consult the client and game documentation. A general cross-border access route is not the same as a dedicated gaming acceleration service.
Work: prioritize session continuity and organizational policies
Remote meetings, code repositories and cloud documents depend more on sustained connections. During actual working hours, compare IEPL and relayed routes in the same region. Check for meeting interruptions, completed repository pulls and successful document saves. Avoid switching exits during a meeting or file upload. When using network tools provided by your organization, follow its access and data-handling policies. A personal subscription does not replace enterprise authorization, and you should not change your organization’s network configuration without permission.
Connection checks and backup routes
Update your subscription, then verify the exit
Download the client and retrieve your subscription through the user dashboard. VPNOY supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Follow the instructions for your platform to import the subscription, then confirm it has updated before choosing a route. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. For setup steps, see the Quick Start Guide. Do not submit your subscription link to unfamiliar websites for conversion or testing.
After connecting, use an IP lookup to check the exit seen by your browser, then verify access by opening the service you intend to use. A change in browser exit only shows that the browser request took that path; it does not mean every app is connected. If your client uses per-app or split-routing rules, check the settings for each target app so that a rule gap is not mistaken for a route failure.
Keep comparison conditions consistent while troubleshooting
If a connection is unreliable, first check that your local network is working, then confirm the client subscription is up to date, your plan has usable data, and the target service is operating normally. Next, try a different route type in the same region. If the issue persists, compare another region. Change one variable at a time to identify whether the problem is with local access, the route or the destination website, rather than losing track while switching repeatedly.
For a backup, choose a route with a different path from your regular exit and test access before you need it. There is no device limit, so you can configure the service on multiple devices, but their activity draws from the same plan data allowance. Monthly subscription data resets monthly on the activation date; data add-ons do not expire and remain available until used. Keep your remaining allowance in mind when streaming video, updating systems or transferring large files.
Record what happened before reporting an issue
For help, use the support ticket system in the user dashboard and include your device platform, network conditions, selected route, target app and the specific error. Hide account details and subscription links in screenshots; never include your password. Describing what worked and where the failure occurred is more useful than simply saying “it doesn’t work.” For more guidance on choosing routes, see the Route Selection Guide.
VPNOY offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund. Before choosing, review the plans and billing details; the refund policy is in the Terms of Service. Choose routes based on how they perform on your network and for your intended tasks.
