How to Read This Table
Understand Route Types
“Route type” describes how the cross-border link is organized; “Streaming” indicates whether a route can serve as a candidate gateway for content services. Platforms make decisions based on account region, content rights, and egress conditions, so “supported” does not mean every piece of content will produce the same result at all times.

The route table is a static reference for route selection; it does not show latency, load, or bandwidth. Network conditions depend on the local carrier, access method, target service, and time of use. Test on your own device and network before connecting.
Route Structure
How to Choose Among Three Route Types
Route names are not a speed ranking. IEPL dedicated lines, relay, and direct routes address different link-organization needs. Match the route to the task first, then compare performance on your current network instead of treating one label as a permanent choice.
IEPL Dedicated Line
ROUTE / IEPL
Put the cross-border segment on a dedicated route
The key feature of an IEPL dedicated line is not the city name, but how the cross-border segment is organized. Traffic first enters a designated gateway, then travels through a specially arranged international link to the egress. Compared with relying entirely on ordinary public-internet forwarding, this structure makes route changes across the border easier to control and suits long-lived tasks that depend on continuity.
For video meetings, sustained uploads, remote collaboration, and concentrated evening use, start by trying an IEPL route in a nearby region. A nearby gateway usually means a shorter local access segment, but performance still depends on the connection between your carrier and the gateway. If the target service is clearly in North America, do not ignore that region simply because Hong Kong or Tokyo is closer.
These routes require more link resources and scheduling, so operating costs are usually higher than ordinary public-internet paths. They are best treated as a priority option for stability-sensitive tasks, not a default for every visit. If ordinary pages load normally over a direct route, there is no need to switch frequently.
Relay
ROUTE / RELAY
Meet first, then continue toward the target region
A relay route adds a scheduled meeting point between the gateway and the final egress. Its value is avoiding an inefficient direct path between local access and a distant egress, allowing traffic to reach a more suitable network hub before continuing to the target city. The egress city in a route name usually indicates the region used for external access.
When a direct route connects but page responses are inconsistent, or when the target service is far away, relay is worth comparing first. It is often useful for North America, Europe, and Oceania, and for scenarios that need both an accessible gateway and an egress in the target region. Relays add a scheduling step, so more nodes do not automatically mean higher speed.
Costs generally fall between dedicated links and ordinary direct routes. Actual performance depends on how well the gateway, relay point, and egress match. Test the same task on different candidate routes with the same device, network, and steps, then decide which route is better suited for regular use.
Direct
ROUTE / DIRECT
Reduce intermediate scheduling and reach the egress directly
A direct route travels from the user access side straight to the target egress, with a clear structure and fewer intermediate scheduling steps. When the public-internet path from the local network to the target region is already good, direct routing provides a simple and effective access path, especially for everyday browsing, research, and tasks with many short connections.
Direct performance depends more heavily on the local carrier and the current routing of the international public internet. The same city route may differ significantly across regions and access networks, so direct should not be treated as a fixed low-cost, low-quality option. For some local networks, it may be the most suitable path.
Operating costs are usually lower than options requiring additional relays or dedicated cross-border links, making direct routes suitable for general access and backup use. Keep one nearby direct route and one direct route in the target region so you can switch quickly during maintenance or local routing changes instead of relying on a single gateway for every task.
Use-Case Matching
Choose Meeting Points by Task
The core of route selection is matching the task, gateway, and egress. First identify what you are accessing, then decide where the egress should be, and only then compare route types. The suggestions below narrow the options but do not replace local testing.
Start nearby, then check page continuity
News, documentation, code repositories, and ordinary international websites typically use many short connections. Start with nearby gateways such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, or Singapore, and test direct and relay routes first. Do not judge only by the first page load; move through several pages and check whether images, scripts, and login sessions continue to load reliably.
If a nearby route meets your needs, there is no need to switch to a more distant egress. Everyday browsing suits routes with a simple structure and easy recovery; keep another region as a backup. This lets you continue working from a backup gateway when a website changes its regional policy or local routing shifts.
Match the egress region to the content region
For streaming, start with the region served by the content platform rather than choosing solely by gateway distance. For North American content, begin with North American egress candidates; for Japanese content, test Tokyo routes first. “Supported” in the table means a route can be considered; the actual result depends on the platform account, rights region, and egress environment.
During testing, open the exact content you plan to watch and keep it playing for a while. Check quality switching, seeking, and continuous playback. If the homepage opens but specific content does not, try another route in the same region instead of repeatedly reinstalling the client or changing every system setting.
Stay in one region and keep the session consistent
AI Tools often involve login, long responses, file uploads, and persistent sessions. Choose a stable egress in a region supported by the target service and keep the route unchanged during a work session. Frequent cross-region switching changes the egress environment and may require login states, sessions, or file tasks to be re-established.
If the page opens but a response stops midway, first compare IEPL dedicated and relay routes in the same region, then check whether the local network is switching access methods in the background. Test web and desktop apps separately because they may use different connection methods. Once stable, mark the route as a regular work gateway.
Prioritize the target region and avoid unnecessary cross-region routing
For gaming, identify the server region first, then choose candidate routes in the same or a nearby region. For Asian servers, compare Asia-Pacific gateways first; for North American servers, compare North American egresses. More regions crossed does not mean a better experience; an extra relay may help only when the original path is poor.
Login, matchmaking, and gameplay may use different connections, so reaching the launcher is not enough to evaluate a route. Complete the full process under the same server region and access network, then compare connection continuity. If the local wireless network is already unstable, rule out the local issue before evaluating international routes.
Keep candidate routes for meetings, uploads, and business systems
Remote work often combines video meetings, browser-based business systems, cloud documents, and large-file transfers, and these tasks have different link requirements. Meetings and sustained uploads prioritize continuity, so start with a nearby IEPL dedicated line. For a business system in a specific region, place the egress closer to the target service.
Do not wait until an important meeting starts to try many routes. A safer approach is to test in advance with the same device, network, and app, identify a primary and backup route, and note which tasks suit each. When maintenance affects the primary route, switch directly to the verified backup and reduce on-the-spot troubleshooting.
For multi-device work, VPNRZ supports unlimited simultaneous devices. Keep the work route on your computer while other devices choose regions for their own tasks; there is no need to disconnect an established work session to add a device. When changing devices, still confirm that the client’s egress region matches the original task.
Testing Method
Test first, then settle on a route; avoid needless switching
Route selection is not a one-time ranking exercise. Home broadband, office networks, and mobile networks use different access paths, so an egress that works for someone else may not suit the current device. Keep test conditions consistent to separate route differences from local network issues.
Identify the Target Region First
Clarify which service you need to access and which region it primarily serves. For everyday international websites, start with a nearby egress; for content platforms, AI Tools, and business systems, prioritize regions supported by the target service. Once the egress region is set, compare different route types within that region.
Keep Local Conditions Consistent
Do not change the device, access network, and client settings at the same time when comparing routes. Test candidates on the same device and network, pause unrelated large-file tasks, and repeat the same actions. The differences you observe will then better reflect the route itself rather than changed test conditions.
Test Real Tasks, Not Just the Homepage
For browsing, open several pages in succession; for streaming, test the specific content and seek through playback; for AI Tools, complete login, submit a prompt, and receive a long response; for work tasks, check meetings, files, and business systems. Confirming that one homepage opens cannot show whether the later connection suits real work.
Set a Primary and a Backup Route
Once you find a suitable route, make it the primary gateway and keep a backup with a different gateway or structure. Verify the backup in advance instead of choosing blindly from the full list after a problem occurs. If tasks target different regions, record the corresponding routes separately rather than forcing every connection through one egress.
Usage Boundaries
What the Route Directory Solves
The directory explains coverage and route structure; current network conditions still need to be evaluated at connection time. Separating static information from dynamic performance helps prevent poor choices based on outdated results.
Use the Directory to Narrow the Options
- Find a target egress by country, region, and city.
- Distinguish the link structures of IEPL dedicated, relay, and direct routes.
- Prepare candidate routes for Streaming, AI Tools, work, and everyday browsing.
- Keep a verified backup gateway alongside the primary route.
Confirm Connection Results in Practice
- The path between the local carrier and gateway may change with network conditions.
- The target service may adjust access results based on the account region and egress environment.
- Validate the same route separately on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux.
- During maintenance, follow the available list and notices in the user dashboard.
