Distinguish server location from content eligibility. The city in a server name identifies its route location, but websites also use IP databases to determine an exit region. Streaming availability can depend on account region, content licensing, subscription tier, and the platform’s network policies. A city or route type alone cannot guarantee access.

When reviewing route groups, first check which countries or regions the service you want to use supports, then look for a matching route in your subscription. For general access to international websites, there’s no need to test every server. Choose a region that fits your needs, verify access, and save the route that works. A more distant region is not necessarily a better connection, and routes in the same region can use different gateways and paths.

For region-specific content, follow the platform’s current guidance. Treat this page as an overview, not a permanent list: route names, region groups, and available options may change. Check your saved route again after updating your subscription. If a city listed here isn’t available, look for another option in the same region rather than creating a server configuration that doesn’t exist.

Understand the Connection Path

Compare IEPL, Relay, and Direct Routes

Route labels describe how traffic is organized, not a performance ranking for every use case. Understand the path first, then test it on your own network.

IEPL

How the international connection is organized

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. With this type of route, some of the transmission between the service gateway and an overseas server uses dedicated capacity rather than relying entirely on the public internet. This can reduce uncertainty on some public-network paths, but your local connection to the gateway, gateway routing, and the connection from the exit server to the destination still affect the experience.

Consider testing it first for extended work sessions, continuous video playback, or AI tools that need a stable session. Don’t rely only on the connection icon in your client: open the service and check that pages load fully, playback stays continuous, and requests complete successfully. An IEPL label does not guarantee access to specific content or acceptance by the destination platform.

Dedicated transmission resources are typically involved in building and maintaining private-line routes, and their cost structure is often higher than using public networks alone. This explains the route type; it does not mean VPNPO charges an extra fee for the label. Check the dashboard for available routes and plan access. Don’t infer prices or guaranteed performance from a route label.

Relay

Rerouting international traffic through a gateway

A relay route first sends your connection to a gateway, which then forwards it to an overseas exit server. The two ends have different roles: the gateway is closer to your local network, while the exit determines the network region seen by international services. An extra hop does not necessarily mean a worse experience. Rerouting can be a better fit when the direct path is congested or poorly routed.

Relay routes may suit everyday browsing, accessing content across regions, or keeping a backup option in the same exit region. When comparing relay and direct routes, keep the destination website, time of access, and local network as consistent as possible. Changing regions, Wi-Fi networks, and app settings at the same time makes it harder to identify what caused a difference.

Relay routes require gateway, forwarding, and exit resources. Costs depend on the transmission resources and deployment, so it’s not safe to assume they’re always cheaper than private lines or more expensive than direct routes. Check that the gateway and exit work together: if you can connect to the gateway but can’t open the destination site, investigate the onward route, DNS, and traffic rules.

Direct

Connect directly to an overseas server

A direct route generally means the client connects to an overseas server without a separate service relay gateway. The path is relatively straightforward, but performance still depends on your local carrier, international routing, and the server’s network. “Direct” describes the connection method; it doesn’t mean the physical path is shortest or will perform best at every time of day.

If your local network can connect reliably, try a direct route for everyday browsing, research, or as a baseline for comparison with other route types. If the destination loads fully, your session stays active, and you can complete your task, save the route. If a direct route in that region doesn’t suit your needs, compare relay or IEPL options there.

A direct route usually avoids the service relay gateway layer, but exit servers, international transmission, and maintenance still have costs. Route type and plan type are different things, so a simpler architecture doesn’t mean free access or unmetered data. Check the plans page for monthly subscription and data add-on billing details.

Choose by Use Case

Save a route that fits the task

Start with what you need to do. Region requirements come first, then real-world performance; route type helps narrow down the options.

Everyday browsing

Choose a region supported by the site you want to visit, then open a few pages you use regularly. Check that text, images, search, and sign-in work as expected. You don’t need to keep switching routes just to compare server names. A route that handles your daily tasks is more useful than repeatedly comparing cosmetic metrics. If some page resources fail to load, check whether the relevant domains are assigned to the same traffic group.

Keep a verified primary route and note a backup in the same region. Before switching, stop unnecessary uploads and downloads so background activity doesn’t skew the comparison. If only one website has a problem while others work, check the service status before changing routes.

Streaming

Choose a platform and the region for the content you want, then select an exit in that region. Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, HBO, and other services may have different catalogs, account requirements, and network policies. A route that works on one platform may not work on another. Open the specific title and confirm playback rather than checking only whether the home page loads.

Also test subtitles, seeking, and continuous playback. If the catalog isn’t what you expect, check your account region, app cache, and how the platform identifies your exit region. If playback starts but buffers, compare other route types in the same region and check your Wi-Fi and background traffic. See the Streaming page for more on regional restrictions.

Using AI tools

Check the AI service’s region and account requirements first, then choose an exit region where it’s available. Network access is only one part of the equation; account permissions, the service’s own risk controls, and feature availability are determined by the platform. Loading an introductory page doesn’t mean you can sign in, submit prompts, or use every feature.

Test your actual workflow: sign in, open a conversation, send a regular request, and try file uploads or any other features you need. If the browser works but the desktop app doesn’t, check whether the app follows the system proxy and per-app rules. Keep the verified exit region during a session to avoid disrupting sign-in while testing.

Gaming and interactive apps

Check account sign-in, downloads, and gameplay connections separately. They may use different servers and transport methods, so a successful web sign-in doesn’t prove game traffic is using the proxy. Choose a region that matches the game server and account rules, then check that your client supports the traffic handling the game requires.

Test the actual activity and see whether the connection stays up and controls respond smoothly. Don’t switch routes mid-match, and don’t treat this service as a dedicated optimization solution for every game. If updates download but matches fail, check app routing and transport support, then follow the symptom-based steps in the Troubleshooting Guide.

Work and collaboration

Check your organization’s requirements for proxies, remote access, and account regions. Internal company resources may require dedicated access and can’t be replaced by a standard international route. For external collaboration platforms, test sign-in, document editing, file sync, and meetings separately. A page loading doesn’t mean the whole workflow is ready.

Keep routes organized by use case. Send services that need international access through a verified route, and handle local services according to your organization’s requirements. VPNPO supports unlimited devices, but check routing rules, permissions, and background settings on each one. After switching devices, import the current subscription and test the task again rather than assuming another device’s results will carry over.

Complete Your Route Check

Verify the exit, then save your setup

Choose routes based on clear evidence. Change one condition at a time so you can see where a difference comes from.

Check your subscription and app rules

Log in to the dashboard to get your current subscription, then follow the Quick Start Guide to import it. Check that the subscription updated successfully, the selected server is still available, and whether your client is in rule-based or global mode. For per-app routing, confirm the target app is actually covered by the relevant rule instead of relying on a browser test alone.

VPNPO supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. Steps may vary by platform, and the dashboard determines which client downloads are available. Don’t copy your active subscription URL to a public page or chat, and don’t send configuration files containing account credentials to anyone.

Check the exit and test your task

Use a trusted IP lookup to check your current region, and make sure the lookup page follows the intended traffic rule. Then complete the task in the target app. If the lookup page and app use different routing paths, the lookup result doesn’t represent the app’s connection. Check DNS alongside your client settings; a single DNS result can’t tell you how the whole connection is routed.

When saving your setup, note the use case, region, and server name; there’s no need to record personal session content. If a problem persists, submit a ticket through the dashboard with your device platform, client message, selected route, time of the issue, and a screenshot with sensitive information removed. This helps identify routing and configuration issues.

Keep route selection separate from data management. 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. First confirm that a route works for your task, then choose a plan based on your actual usage. VPNPO offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. See the Terms of Service for details.
