VPNFN sorts 120+ countries and 180+ routes into a readable list by region: start with the region, then the route type, then pick one that fits your use case. This page does not list latency in milliseconds or load percentages — those figures shift with your local network, your ISP and the time of day, and hard-coding them would only mislead. What actually shapes the experience is the route type and the entry city.
The table below lists representative routes that stay online long term. Each entry carries four fields: country or region, entry city, route type and streaming support. One country can have several entry cities with different route types — the United States has IEPL dedicated lines in Los Angeles and New York, relay routes in San Jose and direct routes in Dallas, each aimed at different workloads. The route list you see after signing in to the client is longer than this page; here we only pick the most representative routes from each region.
Asia-Pacific is the closest group of routes in physical terms, which suits latency-sensitive work: video meetings, online collaboration, gaming and browser-based AI tools that hold a connection open for hours. Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong are all IEPL dedicated-line entries and tend to hold up better at peak hours; Osaka, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur use relay routes at a lower price; Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai and Manila are direct routes, a good fit for cost-sensitive, latency-tolerant batch jobs.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Japan | Tokyo | IEPL dedicated line | |
| Japan | Osaka | Relay | |
| South Korea | Seoul | IEPL dedicated line | |
| Singapore | Singapore | IEPL dedicated line | |

North American routes serve three main needs: account and browser access to AI tools, US-region streaming content, and day-to-day work in overseas business dashboards. Los Angeles and New York run on IEPL dedicated lines, suited to long-lived connections; San Jose and Seattle use relay routes that balance cost and stability; Dallas is a direct route, good for throughput-first jobs such as downloads and syncing. Routes in Canada and Mexico cover the rest of the North American region.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Los Angeles | IEPL dedicated line | |
| United States | New York | IEPL dedicated line | |
| United States | San Jose | Relay | |
| United States | Seattle | Relay | |

The value of European routes lies in regional coverage: the same streaming service carries different libraries in different European countries, and some AI services and developer tools determine your region from European nodes. Amsterdam and London are IEPL dedicated lines, Frankfurt, Paris and Zurich use relay, and Milan, Madrid, Stockholm and Warsaw are direct. When you need European content, start from a dedicated-line entry to keep the link stable, then switch to the specific exit for the country the content belongs to.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | Amsterdam | IEPL dedicated line | |
| United Kingdom | London | IEPL dedicated line | |
| Germany | Frankfurt | Relay | |
| France | Paris | Relay | |
| Switzerland | Zurich | Relay | |
| Italy | Milan | Direct | |
| Spain | Madrid | Direct | |
| Sweden | Stockholm | Direct | |
| Poland | Warsaw | Direct |
Other regions cover Oceania, the Middle East, South America and Africa. Sydney and Dubai use relay routes; the rest are direct. These routes are not used every day, but they are irreplaceable when you need a local IP for sign-up verification, region-locked content or a local service. Switch to them only for that task, then return to your nearest entry.
| Country / Region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | Sydney | Relay | |
| Australia | Melbourne | Direct | |
| New Zealand | Auckland | Direct | |
| United Arab Emirates | Dubai | Relay | |
| Turkey | Istanbul | Direct | |
| Brazil | São Paulo | Direct | |
| South Africa | Johannesburg | Direct | |

This page lists static facts only: where a route is, what type it is and which streaming services it supports. Latency and bandwidth are dynamic and depend on your local network, so trust the current status shown for that route in the client; results differ between carriers and cities at the same moment, and any millisecond figure hard-coded into a web page is not worth trusting.
The difference between route types is not about raw speed — it is about how your data travels from your device to the exit. IEPL dedicated lines run on a private channel, relay routes add one optimized hop, and direct routes take the shortest path. None of the three is universally better; what matters is whether the type fits what you are doing.
How it worksIEPL is an international Ethernet private line: traffic travels over a carrier-grade private channel that avoids congested public internet nodes and does not compete for bandwidth with other users.
Best for4K streaming at peak hours, long-running AI tool sessions, video meetings and remote work.
CostHighest of the three, so it is deployed only in core entry cities: Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, London and Amsterdam.
How it worksTraffic goes to an intermediate node first, which forwards it to the exit. The intermediate hops are hand-picked and optimized to avoid poor-quality public links.
Best forEveryday browsing, social feeds and news, single-region streaming, and cases where you want basic stability without paying for a dedicated line.
CostMid-range. Most secondary-city entry points use relay, making this the largest group of routes.
How it worksA direct connection from entry to exit: the shortest path with the fewest hops. Real-world performance depends on the peering quality between the local data center and the carrier.
Best forLarge downloads, system updates, cloud drive sync and bulk data scraping — throughput-first tasks that are not latency-sensitive.
CostLowest of the three and the most numerous; at peak hours it is more noticeably affected by local network conditions.
Choosing a route comes down to one question: what does your use case fear most? Video meetings fear packet loss, streaming fears an exit IP that looks like a data center, AI tools fear a dropped long connection, and downloads fear bandwidth throttling. Work out which one matters most, then use the table below to pick a type and an entry region.
| Use case | Recommended route type | Entry region reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday browsing and news | Relay / Direct | Nearest Asia-Pacific entry | Opening pages and sending email are not latency-sensitive, so pick the entry point closest to you and avoid unnecessary detours. |
| Streaming video | IEPL dedicated line | Match the region of the content library | A dedicated channel stays stable, so long playback sessions are less likely to drop; check which region the content belongs to first, then pick an entry in that country. |
| AI tools in the browser | IEPL dedicated line | United States / Japan / Singapore | Long connections and streaming output are prone to interruptions, so a dedicated-line entry is steadier; keep the same account on the same entry where possible. |
| AI APIs and development testing | IEPL dedicated line | US West Coast | You need a fixed exit IP and stable concurrency, so stay on a single dedicated line and avoid switching routes mid-session. |
| Online gaming | IEPL dedicated line | Nearest Asia-Pacific entry | Games are the most sensitive to latency and jitter, so choose the dedicated-line entry with the shortest physical distance and do not take a longer path for other purposes. |
| Video meetings and remote work | IEPL dedicated line / Relay | Nearest entry | Meeting apps suffer from packet loss and collaboration tools from jitter; test one route and stick with it once it is stable instead of switching constantly. |
| Large downloads and cloud sync | Direct | Any | Throughput comes first, and direct routes have a higher bandwidth ceiling; schedule these tasks for off-peak hours. |
| Region-locked sign-up verification | Relay / Direct | Target country | When you need a local IP, choose an entry in that country; you do not need to stay connected once the process is complete. |
Start with the type: choose a dedicated line if you need a stable connection for hours, or relay and direct if you only open a page now and then. Then look at the city: the closer the entry city, the less detour in the first leg. Finally, look at the use case: different cities in the same country may support different local streaming regions, so go by the Streaming support column in the table.

A route is only one segment of the chain. When pages will not load, video stutters or the connection keeps dropping, run the four steps below to find out which segment is at fault before deciding whether to switch routes — it saves a lot of trial and error.
After those four steps, most "the route is bad" conclusions turn into a specific cause: your local network, your ISP's exit, peak-hour congestion, or a genuine need for a dedicated line. Confirming the cause before switching is far faster than trying routes one by one on a hunch.
This page only picks a few of the most representative routes from each region; the full list appears after you sign in to the client. Routes are adjusted and added from time to time, so go by the names shown in the client.
Because they serve different purposes. Different entry cities in the same country may use dedicated, relay or direct routes, aimed at different stability and throughput needs; in some countries, different cities also map to different streaming regions.
Not necessarily. The advantage of a dedicated line is a private channel that holds up better at peak hours, while raw speed also depends on the leg between you and the entry point. If your local network is poor, a dedicated line can only guarantee the second half of the path.
Yes. For browser-based AI tools, API calls and services that keep you signed in, staying on the same route is actually more reliable and reduces re-verification caused by a changing exit. There is no limit on the number of devices, and several devices can share the same route.
Yes. Data center maintenance or upstream changes can make a route unavailable temporarily or permanently; when that happens, another route in the same region is substituted or added in the client. This page is updated as the lineup changes too.
