International routes · Regional and use-case guide

Global servers and route options

100+ countries / 170+ routes. Choose a region, then compare IEPL, relay, and direct connections.

For streaming, check the platform’s content library region first. For AI tools, confirm supported regions. For work, try to keep the connection route consistent. Server names help you narrow down options; they don’t guarantee access to any particular website.

Browse by region

Find international routes by region

The regions, cities, and connection types below are examples, not a complete list of available servers or a guarantee that every combination is currently offered. Sign in and choose from the route names shown in your dashboard.

Streaming availability: Every entry is marked “Check with the platform.” A matching region is only one factor; it does not guarantee access to Netflix, Disney+, or any other service. Results can vary by account, title, and client.

Asia-Pacific

If you don’t need a specific content library, start by comparing routes in Asia-Pacific. Distance can help narrow the options, but your local network, entry point, and carrier peering also affect the route. For a Japanese library, check for a Japan exit; for a service limited to Singapore, verify that region first.

North America

North American routes can help you check access to US content and services with regional requirements. Don’t judge performance by city name alone; routes to the same region can take different paths. Before switching regions, save your work and confirm the service allows your account to access it from the destination region.

Europe

Choose a European route based on the service you need, not just a city you recognize. UK streaming services may check for a UK exit, while workplace systems in Europe may have their own regional policies. Connecting through Europe does not change your account region, billing details, or organization settings.

Other regions

Routes in other regions are useful when you have a specific need, such as viewing a regional page or connecting to a local business system. If your everyday services don’t require a particular region, there’s no need to switch exits frequently just to try them. Keep a verified route for regular use, then switch when a task calls for it.

Connection types

IEPL, relay, and direct connections

Region answers “where you connect from”; type describes “how the connection is routed.” Consider these separately. The explanations below cover common network setups, not the full technical details of each route. Refer to current service information for specific paths and resource configurations.

IEPL

A dedicated link carries part of the route

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. It uses a carrier-provided dedicated link for part of the network path, rather than relying entirely on public internet routing. However, your device may still connect to the entry point over the public internet, as may the route from the exit server to the destination website. “Private line” does not mean every part of the connection uses a dedicated channel.

IEPL is worth comparing if you often stream during peak hours, join video calls, or use remote systems for extended periods. Test it at the times you usually connect, and check whether playback stays smooth and sessions remain connected. A dedicated link won’t fix congestion on your local Wi-Fi or an outage at the service you’re accessing.

Dedicated links generally require ongoing carrier costs and capacity planning, so their cost structure differs from public internet routing. Connection type describes the route, not a guaranteed experience. VPNVZ does not list separate prices by connection type on this page. See the plans page for pricing.

Relay

Routed through an entry point to the destination exit

A relay route generally connects your device to an entry point first, then forwards traffic to an exit in the destination region. The entry and exit serve different roles: the entry affects the local connection, while the exit determines which region websites see. A region name in the client usually identifies the exit, not the geography of the entire route.

This setup makes it possible to adjust the entry point and cross-region path, and can suit everyday browsing, streaming, or tools with specific regional requirements. A relay isn’t automatically faster than a direct connection, and more forwarding steps aren’t necessarily better. If the entry point connects but a website doesn’t load, check the exit region, DNS resolution, and the destination service separately.

Relay routes generally use resources for the entry server, forwarding, and cross-region transmission. Whether that improves performance depends on the route and network peering; the “relay” label doesn’t tell you a fixed cost difference. To compare options clearly, keep the destination region the same and test different connection types.

Direct

Connects to the exit over the public internet

A direct connection generally means the client connects to the destination exit over the public internet without an additional service-side relay entry point. “Direct” does not mean there are no routers in between or that the physical route is the shortest. Your local carrier, interconnection between networks, and the destination network all affect the actual path, and performance may vary by time of day.

If everyday browsing and file sync work smoothly, a direct route can be a good option for regular use. If interruptions persist, try another connection type in the same region. Changing the region and route at once makes it harder to identify the cause. For remote work or long streaming sessions, compare whether the whole task stays reliable.

A direct connection generally uses fewer additional forwarding resources, but still requires an exit server and network transmission, so it isn’t cost-free. The right route is the one that works on your network. This guide does not rank connection types by unverified performance claims.

Use cases

Choose an accelerated route by use case

Everyday browsing

Start with a route that meets the service’s regional requirements and works on your current network. In the same browser, check page text, images, and sign-in—not just whether the homepage loads. If one site has problems while others work, check that site’s status before switching routes.

Once you find a route that works, keep it as a regular option. Everyday browsing rarely requires chasing city names or changing regions every time you open the client. A consistent setup makes genuine connection changes easier to spot.

Streaming

Check which title you want to watch and where it’s available, then review your account plan, the platform’s rules, and client requirements. Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer each handle region detection differently. A matching exit region does not guarantee content availability, playback quality, or payment eligibility.

Test by actually playing the title, not just opening the platform homepage. If playback fails, save any error message, confirm the exit region, then try another route in the same region. High-resolution playback also depends on your device, display setup, and account permissions. See the streaming guide for more troubleshooting steps.

AI Tools

Before using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, check the tool’s regional and account requirements. A network route only affects connectivity; it does not replace an eligible account, service access, or a platform subscription. Loading the website does not mean every feature is available to you.

For ongoing sessions, file uploads, or generation tasks, try to keep the exit region consistent. Save your work before switching routes. If an error appears, distinguish between a sign-in check, a regional restriction, and a connection interruption instead of retrying repeatedly. See the ChatGPT connection guide for troubleshooting steps.

Gaming

Check your game’s server region and your account region first, then confirm the client supports the connection method. A general-purpose network acceleration plan is not a dedicated gaming service. A route name does not predict gameplay performance, and normal web browsing does not prove that an online match will connect properly.

When comparing routes, keep the game region, device, and local network conditions the same. Check that sign-in, asset downloads, and actual gameplay remain stable. Follow the game’s rules on proxies and region changes; don’t force a connection method the game does not allow.

Remote work

Work systems may check your exit region, organization permissions, and device status. Confirm that your organization allows external network acceleration services, and follow its existing requirements for corporate access. For sensitive work, a page loading successfully does not by itself mean the connection complies with your organization’s policies.

Video calls, remote desktops, and file sync need a persistent connection, not just a page that loads. Choose a route you’ve tested during working hours, and save documents before switching. If you need help troubleshooting, note the route name, client platform, destination service, and what you were doing when the issue occurred.

Test your connection

After connecting, test the task you need to do

First, check your plan and client

Sign in to the user dashboard, check that your plan is active, then get your subscription and import it into a client. Supported platforms: Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. If the route list hasn’t updated, make sure the subscription import is complete, then refresh the list. Never share your subscription link in a public forum.

VPNVZ supports unlimited devices, but data usage across devices is still subject to your plan. After adding a device, make sure you’ve imported the current subscription, then check that device’s network permissions and connection mode. See the setup guide for import instructions.

Then compare options in the same region

Keep your local network and destination service unchanged, then compare different connection types in the same region. If you also change the region, device, and client, it’s hard to tell which change affected the result. During troubleshooting, change only the condition you’re testing.

If playback fails or you see a region notice, save the original error instead of just saying “it won’t open.” For help, submit a request through the user dashboard support form. Include the platform, route name, and steps you took—never include your password or full subscription link.

Plans and data

Check the usage rules as well as the routes

Connection type does not determine how much data you need. VPNVZ monthly plans are ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly from your activation date. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Choose a plan based on your streaming, file transfer, and browsing habits—not just the number of routes shown in the client.

If your usage varies, consider a data package: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, or ¥658/3000GB. Data packages remain available until used and never expire. Their data rules differ from monthly plans, so compare the term and your usage habits. Check the user dashboard for purchase options and account status.

VPNVZ keeps no logs. Create an account with a username and password—no email address required. Payment methods: Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT. A 7-day refund policy is available. See the Terms of Service for refund rules, or visit the plans page for details.

A simple way to choose a route: identify the destination region, check service eligibility, pick a connection type, then test the full task. Broad coverage gives you more options, but the right route depends on your current network. Don’t use the number of regions as a substitute for testing, or treat one successful connection as a permanent result.
