Regional Routes Directory

The following representative routes illustrate regional coverage and connection methods. Actual available routes are determined by the node list in the client after login. Choose the destination region first, then the route type; city names alone are not a reliable basis for selection.

APAC

Asia-Pacific

Suitable for services in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. When the destination service is in Asia, start by comparing nearby exits.

Country or Region City Route Type Streaming Support
Japan Tokyo IEPL Supported
Japan Osaka Direct Supported
Hong Kong, China Hong Kong IEPL Supported
Singapore Singapore Relay Supported
South Korea Seoul Relay Supported
Taiwan, China Taipei Direct Supported
Australia Sydney Relay Supported

Asia-Pacific exits are not limited to Asian websites. When the account location, content region, or collaboration system has specific regional requirements, prioritize the destination service rather than automatically choosing the physically nearest city.

NA

North America

Suitable for North American content platforms, developer services, and international workplace systems. Compare the East and West Coasts according to the destination service’s region.

Country or Region City Route Type Streaming Support
United States Los Angeles IEPL Supported
United States San Jose Relay Supported
United States New York Direct Supported
Canada Toronto Relay Supported

For code hosting, documentation platforms, or AI tools, the exit region is only one factor. Connection continuity, consistency of the login region, and the destination service’s own regional policies also affect the experience.

EU

Europe

Coverage includes Western Europe and major European exchange hubs, supporting European websites, cross-region collaboration, and services that require a local exit environment.

Country or Region City Route Type Streaming Support
United Kingdom London IEPL Supported
Germany Frankfurt Relay Supported
Netherlands Amsterdam Direct Supported
France Paris Relay Supported

European services may identify access location by country rather than by region. For accounts, payments, or organizational permissions, keep a commonly used exit region stable and avoid frequent cross-region switching over short periods.

OTHER

Other Regions

For localized access needs in the Middle East, South America, Africa, and other regions, and as additional exits for cross-region operations.

Country or Region City Route Type Streaming Support
United Arab Emirates Dubai Relay Supported
Brazil São Paulo Direct Supported
South Africa Johannesburg Direct Supported

Exits in distant regions are best suited to services with explicit regional requirements. If everyday tasks do not depend on local content, compare nearby regions first before switching to a remote exit.

Line Architecture

How to Distinguish Route Types

IEPL, relay, and direct routes describe how traffic is organized between the local network and the exit node. The name of a route is not a guarantee of results; selection should also consider the local network, destination region, and time of use.

TYPE IEPL

IEPL

IEPL connects the entry and exit through a controlled international link, with fewer sections relying on the public internet and a generally clearer path design. Its value is not a prominent single momentary test result, but reducing the impact of unpredictable routing changes on long-lived connections, file transfers, and continuous sessions when international paths are complex or public-network conditions fluctuate.

These routes suit remote work, sustained access to developer tools, long video conferences, and tasks that require stable sessions. Resource and operations costs are generally higher than for ordinary direct connections, so they should be prioritized for continuity-sensitive work. For a brief webpage visit, a nearby relay or direct route may be more suitable.

TYPE RELAY

Relay Routes

A relay route first sends the connection to a selected entry or relay node, which then connects to the destination region. Its value lies in avoiding poor default paths between the local network and a remote exit, allowing the entry and exit segments to be managed separately. Relay does not necessarily mean a longer route; a well-positioned relay can clarify the cross-region path and make it easier to switch between carrier networks.

Relay routes suit everyday browsing, streaming, AI tools, and most work scenarios, balancing coverage, path control, and resource cost. Start with a relay exit in the same region as the destination, then compare nearby cities. If a route is unstable on the current network, switching to another entry path in the same region is usually easier to troubleshoot than moving directly to a distant region.

TYPE DIRECT

Direct Routes

A direct route connects the local network directly to an exit node in the destination region without an additional relay arranged by the service. Its structure is simple and resource costs are relatively controllable, and it can provide a direct experience when the path from the local carrier network to the destination data center is favorable. Because more segments are determined by public routing, performance can vary significantly by region, access method, and time of use.

These routes suit ordinary web access, short sessions, and backup use within the same region. To determine whether direct access fits the task, look beyond city distance and check page loading, file transfers, and session persistence. If connections repeatedly rebuild or international routing changes, compare a relay or IEPL route in the same region.

Selection Guide

Choose an Exit by Use Case

Route names describe path structure but cannot replace real-world use-case testing. The sequence below separates region, session type, and switching cost so you can narrow choices quickly in the client.

Everyday Browsing

Start with a nearby relay or direct route that matches the destination region. Everyday webpages usually load resources from multiple domains, so the experience depends on whether the full page request remains continuous, not on one connection’s momentary performance. If the main page opens but images, scripts, or login state repeatedly fail, switch route types within the same region instead of moving to a more distant exit immediately.

Suggested OrderNearby relay → Direct in the same region → IEPL in the same region

Streaming

Confirm the region associated with the content, then choose an exit marked as supporting streaming in the table. Platforms consider exit location, account region, and content rights when determining what is available, so the library may differ by region. If quality changes or buffering repeats during playback, switch to another route in the same region before changing the content region frequently.

Suggested OrderContent region → Streaming support → Backup route in the same region

AI Tools

AI web apps and developer tools often involve authentication, streaming output, and persistent connections. Confirm the service’s supported region first, then keep the usual exit region stable. Frequent cross-region switching during a session may trigger another login or regional review. When using a browser, command line, and editor plugin together, keep their exit region consistent to reduce environmental differences.

Suggested OrderService region → Relay or IEPL → Keep the region consistent

Gaming

Choose an exit based on the game server’s region, then compare whether the path suits the current access network. Gaming depends more on steady connectivity; a distant or mismatched exit can make the path more complex. If login works but in-game connectivity is unstable, keep the game server region unchanged and switch between IEPL, relay, and direct routes in that region.

Suggested OrderServer region → Compare routes in the same region → Keep a reliable exit

Remote Work

Video conferences, code synchronization, cloud documents, and enterprise dashboards typically maintain long sessions. Prefer an IEPL or relay route in the region of the target work system, and minimize manual switching during meetings or transfers. If the enterprise system is sensitive to login region, use a fixed region over time and avoid connecting different devices to widely separated exits.

Suggested OrderWork-system region → IEPL or relay → Keep a regular region

Route Workflow

Route Switching Checklist

When access fails, checking one factor at a time is easier to diagnose than repeatedly changing nodes at random. Keep the region unchanged and change only one condition per test to distinguish destination-service restrictions, local network fluctuations, and route differences.

  • macOS
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  1. Confirm the Destination Region

    First determine which exit region the website, content platform, AI tool, or work system expects. If the service specifies a regional availability range, follow its rules rather than choosing solely according to your current location.

  2. Keep the Region Unchanged

    Compare IEPL, relay, and direct routes within the same region. This makes route structure the only variable and avoids changing the content region, account assessment, and network path at the same time.

  3. Reconnect

    After switching, disconnect the old session before letting the client establish a new connection. Existing browser login state or cached data may retain the previous region; reopen the destination page and check again if necessary.

  4. Validate with the Actual Task

    For web tasks, check the complete page and login flow. For streaming, check playback throughout. For work tasks, check meetings and file synchronization. Do not substitute an isolated result unrelated to the actual use case for a complete workflow test.

Operating Notes

Coverage and Node Maintenance

iyVPN covers 90+ countries and 200+ routes. Regional coverage provides different exit choices, and a single country or region may include multiple cities, entry paths, and route types. The client displays available options based on the current subscription, so this page does not present representative routes as a complete, unchanging list.

Route maintenance focuses on switchability. Cross-border access passes through the local access network, international routes, exit data centers, and the destination service’s network. A routing adjustment at any point can change connection performance. Keeping different route types in the same region makes it possible to continue a task without changing the target region and reduces additional checks caused by frequent account-region changes.

Node count does not equal the quality of a single connection. More useful factors are whether the target region is covered, whether alternative paths exist in that region, how easily the client allows switching, and whether problems can be isolated through clear steps. iyVPN supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux and allows unlimited devices online at the same time, making it suitable for consistent regional choices across everyday devices.

Route Questions

Common Questions About Route Selection

Should I always choose IEPL?

No. IEPL suits long sessions and tasks that are more sensitive to path stability, while relay and direct routes can work equally well for everyday browsing or when the local path to the destination data center is favorable. Choose the region first, then compare based on the actual task.

Why are there multiple route types in the same region?

Different routes use different entry points, forwarding methods, and exit paths. Keeping multiple connection methods in the same region lets you change paths without changing the target area, making it easier to respond to changes in the local access network and international routing.

How should I choose a streaming route?

First confirm the content region you need, then choose the corresponding region marked as supporting streaming in the table. If playback is unsatisfactory, switch to another route in the same region before changing regions, which can alter both the content library and account-region assessment.

Do AI tools require frequent node changes?

Frequent region changes during the same session are generally not recommended. Keep the same exit region across the web app, command line, and editor plugin; if a connection issue occurs, switch route types within the same region and reconnect.

Can all devices use different routes at the same time?

The service allows unlimited devices online at the same time. Devices can choose routes for their respective tasks, but when using the same account or work system, keeping exit regions close or consistent usually makes the login environment easier to maintain.

What should I do if a route does not meet my needs?

Confirm the destination region first, then compare IEPL, relay, and direct routes in that region. If the subscription still does not meet your needs, the 60-day money-back guarantee applies.
