REGION DIRECTORY

Browse routes by region

This is an overview by region, not a complete item-by-item route directory. Use the client list available after signing in to choose a route; route names, maintenance changes and current availability are determined by what that list displays. This page does not show connection measurements, and city counts should not be interpreted as route counts.

Asia-Pacific

From your current network, you can start by comparing connections to nearby regions. If a service requires a specific region, prioritize that requirement rather than distance alone.

Asia-Pacific route overview
Country / Region	City	Connection type	Streaming availability
Japan	Tokyo	IEPL	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
Japan	Osaka	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply

South Korea	Seoul	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
Australia	Sydney	Direct	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply

North America

For services in North America, keeping the same exit region can make troubleshooting easier than frequently switching cities. Differences between cities in the same country should also be assessed against your local network and the service you’re using.

Germany	Frankfurt	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
United Kingdom	London	Direct	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
France	Paris	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
Netherlands	Amsterdam	Direct	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
Switzerland	Zurich	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply

Other regions

Routes in South America, Africa and the Middle East are primarily for situations that require a local exit location. If you have no regional requirement, there’s no need to switch away from a connection that’s already stable just to use a more distant exit.

Other regions route overview
Country / Region	City	Connection type	Streaming availability
Brazil	São Paulo	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
Chile	Santiago	Direct	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply
South Africa	Johannesburg	Relayed	Check after connecting; platform region rules apply

The same city can have multiple connection paths. This table groups routes by region and should not be used to infer the number of separate physical devices. For platform-specific details, see streaming availability.

PATH REFERENCE

Dedicated, relayed and direct connections

Connection types describe how traffic reaches an exit location; they are not performance ratings. The explanations below cover common connection methods and their cost structures. A connection label alone does not mean it will be faster, and general principles are not guarantees for every route.

IEPL

IEPL usually refers to a connection carried over a carrier-provided Ethernet private line. Part of the transmission path uses a relatively controlled network, reducing dependence on changes in public internet routing. The private line still relies on the entry point, exit point and local network; it does not mean the application server is also on a private network.

This type of transport typically involves higher link and capacity costs, making it suitable for use cases where sustained connections, meetings or performance during busy periods matter. Judge it by whether it is more stable for your actual tasks, rather than assuming that every dedicated route performs the same across all regions and times. Wireless signal quality, device load and issues with the destination service can still affect performance.

Relayed

A relayed connection typically sends traffic to an entry point first, which then forwards it to the destination exit. Separating entry and exit points lets the service tailor routes to different network conditions. An extra hop is not necessarily slower: avoiding a poor public route may improve the overall experience, but you’ll need to test it on your current network.

Costs include entry resources, the relay link and exit resources, so distance between cities alone is not a useful measure. Relayed routes are worth considering for everyday browsing, work and streaming. If a direct connection in the same region is unstable, try a relayed route without changing regions to distinguish a location issue from a routing issue. Change one variable at a time.

Direct

Direct usually means the client connects to the destination exit without using a separate relay entry provided by the service. The simpler path relies more heavily on public internet routing between your local carrier and the exit. “Direct” does not mean the physical route bypasses all other network equipment, nor does it guarantee a shorter transmission distance.

Direct connections generally cost less to arrange than additional dedicated transport or relay resources, though international exit capacity still has a cost. When public routing is suitable, direct connections can work well for browsing and accessing tools. If performance changes during busy periods, compare other paths. Check the plans page for current prices; don’t infer pricing from a route label.

USAGE FIRST

Choose an exit by use case

When choosing a route, first check which regions the destination service allows, then find a path that works well on your current network. Rather than switching repeatedly, keep a suitable everyday route and know which setting to adjust if something goes wrong.

Everyday browsing

If you don’t need a specific region, start with a nearby exit that’s working well on your network. Open sites you use regularly and check that the main content, images and account pages all load correctly. A search homepage alone is not a reliable test, since different resources may be delivered by different networks.

With rule-based routing, some sites may use your local connection while others use the international exit. If a site behaves exactly the same after you switch routes, first check whether it is actually using the selected route. Confirm that the routing rule is active before comparing paths; this is more useful than repeatedly switching cities.

Video and streaming

Check the platform’s supported regions, account requirements and the region where the content is available before choosing an exit. Being able to open the platform’s homepage does not mean a title will play, and playing a trailer does not confirm that the full title is available. If you see a region notice, check the platform’s rules rather than assuming the connection is at fault.

Keep the same exit region while watching and check whether playback remains smooth. Video quality also depends on your platform subscription, source, device decoding capabilities and local network. If you need high-definition content, keep an eye on your plan’s remaining data as well. Data allowance and connection quality are separate; adding data does not change the connection path.

AI tools

Before using AI tools such as Claude, check the provider’s published supported regions and account rules. An exit location in a particular country does not automatically qualify your account for that region or guarantee that the platform will accept your network. Route selection can change the connection path, but it cannot replace account authorization or service eligibility.

Once you’ve confirmed an eligible region, try to keep the same exit environment rather than switching regions repeatedly between signing in, chatting and uploading files. If the tool loads but your account still shows an error, check your account status, service announcements and local routing rules separately. Blaming every issue on the route can obscure what actually needs attention.

Gaming

Choose a route based on the game server’s region and official network requirements, not just the region of the game store. Login services, update downloads and live matches may use different paths. Being able to download an update does not mean the route is suitable for gameplay; a browser test is no substitute for checking in-game.

Focus on whether the connection stays stable during play, without disconnects or noticeable pauses. Before testing, pause large file transfers and check your local Wi-Fi connection. A VPN subscription route is not a replacement for a service optimized for a specific game. If a game needs additional network capabilities, check compatibility before using it.

Work and remote collaboration

If your work systems have region or network access requirements, follow your organization’s access policies before choosing an exit. Video calls, remote desktops and file sync all depend on sustained connections. Test your actual workflow, including joining a meeting, sharing content and transferring work files, rather than just opening the login page.

Avoid switching exits during a meeting or file upload, as a connection change may require the session to reconnect. If your work device already runs network software provided by your organization, first check whether it can be used alongside this service and follow your administrator’s routing instructions. Follow your organization’s data-handling and access policies for work applications.

BEFORE CONNECTING

Pre-connection checks

First, check your subscription and client

Sign in to the user panel and check your subscription status and remaining data, then refresh the route list in your client using the guide. If you’re still using an older saved configuration, the regional overview on this page is no substitute for refreshing the client. Get the client and subscription through the user panel; don’t look elsewhere for installers or shared configurations.

Next, distinguish network issues from service issues

If nothing connects, first check your local network and client connection status. If only one platform is affected, check its service status, account notices and regional requirements. When contacting support, provide the selected region, route name, network connection and the specific error. Don’t include passwords or full subscription links in public posts.

Finally, check your allowance and plan terms

VPNEyes allows unlimited simultaneous devices, but device limits and data allowances are separate. Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. Mid-cycle upgrades are prorated for the remaining days; data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. Choose a billing option based on how consistently you use the service and when you use data—not on route distance.

This service offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. Check plan and payment details on their respective pages. The route directory helps explain regions and connection paths; it does not guarantee ongoing availability on external platforms, account status or content access.
