Browse routes by region
The table below shows examples of VPNNV regions and route types, not the complete server list. Coverage includes 120+ countries / 220+ routes, but a region may include different exits and route types. The number of routes does not indicate the number of cities, and you should not assume every country offers the same connection options. Use the regions, route names, and types shown in the dashboard to choose a route.
City details have not been individually verified on this page, so they are marked “See dashboard.” Streaming availability can depend on service regions, account requirements, and how the exit is identified. Use cases here are examples, not fixed availability guarantees. Hong Kong may be a starting point for streaming, and Singapore for AI tools; connect and check how the service responds.

A region name describes the location of a route’s exit, not the location of the server you’re accessing. International websites may route requests to servers in other regions, and an app may connect to separate servers for sign-in, content, and downloads. A geographically closer exit can be a useful starting point, but judge its suitability by whether the full task works—not just by distance on a map.
Route types and cost differences
IEPL dedicated lines, relay, and direct connections describe how a connection path is arranged—not a ranking of speed. Different paths affect how links are managed, operating costs, and reliance on public internet routing. Your experience also depends on your access network, exit location, destination, and time of use. The overview below explains common principles without making specific performance guarantees based on route labels.
Dedicated transmission segment and international exit
IEPL generally refers to a transmission method using dedicated Ethernet links. These routes use a dedicated segment along the cross-border path, followed by an exit to the destination service. Unlike routes that rely solely on the public internet, the emphasis is on link resources and path design—not on making every connection between you and a website private or dedicated.
Dedicated resources generally cost more to operate and may suit use cases where a consistent experience matters, such as ongoing work, longer content sessions, and apps that need to maintain a session. In VPNNV’s examples, Singapore and Hong Kong use IEPL dedicated lines. To see if one suits your network, test it under the same conditions as other routes. An IEPL label does not guarantee that a website will accept the exit, nor does it resolve issues with your local wireless network.
Routing traffic through an intermediate node
A relay route adds an intermediate forwarding step between your local connection and the destination exit. The intermediate node connects to the rest of the international path. This can change the route a request takes, but an extra hop does not necessarily mean a slower connection: when a public internet route is congested or takes a detour, a suitable relay route may work better for your needs.
This approach requires maintaining intermediate nodes and forwarding resources. Costs can depend on the relay location, resource allocation, and onward connection, so the word “relay” alone does not indicate the service price. Japan and Italy are shown as relay routes in these examples. They may be worth considering for everyday browsing, gaming, or work. Compare them with the same app and local network, and check whether sessions stay active and content loads completely. Avoid drawing conclusions based on repeated region changes and impressions alone.
A more direct public internet route
A direct connection generally means the client connects straight to the relevant exit node, without an additional relay step of the same kind. The route structure is relatively simple and relies more on public internet routing between your network and the exit. “Direct” describes the connection method; it does not mean there are no other routes between network operators or that a request passes through only one physical location.
Compared with routes that use dedicated transmission or intermediate forwarding resources, direct connections generally have a simpler routing cost structure, though actual costs can still vary by region and resource allocation. The United States route in these examples uses a direct connection and can be tested by browsing international websites. If the public internet route does not suit a particular app, compare it with another available route in the same region. One connection result should not be taken to represent every direct route.
Route type helps explain the connection path; region helps match your exit needs. VPNNV offers monthly subscriptions and data plans. This page does not promise additional charges or provide price estimates based on route type.
When comparing route descriptions, distinguish connection paths from privacy practices. IEPL, relay, and direct do not specify how logs are handled; VPNNV describes its service as “no logs.” See the privacy policy for details. Route type also does not override an app’s account rules, authorization requirements, or data practices. Follow your organization’s policies when handling work materials.
Choose a cross-border route by use case
Start by defining what you need to do, then choose a region and route type. For browsing, check that pages and sign-in work fully; for streaming, verify content availability; AI tools may have account and API requirements; gaming and work often depend on stable sessions. Use-case labels are clues, not a list of supported platforms, and do not replace testing the connection.
Everyday browsing: Check the full page
For international websites, start with a region supported by the service, then compare the route types available in the client. Don’t stop at checking whether the homepage opens—make sure images, sign-in pages, and subsequent content load as expected. Partial page failures may be related to the site’s resource sources, browser settings, or local network. Reproduce the issue in the same browser before changing routes to help distinguish exit-related differences from an app issue.
Streaming: Check the region, then playback
A route’s exit can affect how a platform determines your region, but available content may also depend on your account region, content licensing, and how the exit is identified. Hong Kong IEPL is an example use case on this page, not a guarantee of support for any streaming service. After connecting, check whether the content plays, continues to load, and remains available when you switch episodes. If the platform displays a region notice, check its service rules first; don’t assume the notice means the connection has dropped.
AI tools: Distinguish web apps from APIs
Check web chat and API calls separately. Being able to reach a web sign-in page does not mean API requests meet the provider’s regional, authorization, or usage requirements. Singapore IEPL is one route to consider for AI tools, but this page does not guarantee a fixed exit, concurrency quota, or access to any specific API. For development, keep redacted error messages to distinguish connection failures from account permissions and app configuration. When changing routes, also check whether an in-progress request needs to be restarted.
Gaming: Check your game server region
Choose a route based on the game server region and how the game connects, not just the distance to the exit. Japan relay is one gaming-related example on this page, but games may use separate connections for updates, sign-in, matchmaking, and gameplay. After reaching the lobby, check that you can join a match as expected and note which step fails if something goes wrong. Avoid switching exits during a match, as the existing session may need to reconnect. Network acceleration does not override a game account’s regional rules.
Work: Keep sessions consistent
Cross-border work often involves documents, meetings, file syncing, and company sign-in. Before choosing an Italy relay or another route suited to your work region, check whether your organization permits that exit. Once signed in, try to stay on the same route to reduce repeated verification caused by exit changes. If your company specifies a connection method, follow your administrator’s instructions rather than layering multiple connection tools. Check that sign-in, editing, and syncing all work reliably—not just how quickly a page opens.
When use cases overlap, prioritize the conditions that matter most to completing the task. For example, if you’re in a meeting while syncing documents, keep the meeting and sign-in sessions stable before checking file sync. If you’re browsing reference materials while calling an API, verify the web app and API separately. This makes your route comparisons easier to reproduce and helps avoid blaming every issue on the region or route type.
How to check your connection
Before comparing routes, make sure the client has loaded your current subscription details, the intended route is selected, and the app is using the connection mode you expect. If other network tools are running locally, first clarify which traffic each one handles. A connected status in the client only confirms that a step in the connection process has been established. Continue checking within the app to confirm that the destination works fully.
- Keep local conditions consistent. Compare using the same device, access network, and destination app. Switching between Wi-Fi and another access network makes it harder to attribute the result to the route.
- Define what to check. For browsing, check pages and sign-in; for streaming, check playback; for work, check editing and syncing. Completing the full task is more useful than simply refreshing the homepage.
- Change only what you’re comparing. Compare route types within the same region, or regions for the same use case. Don’t change the client configuration, exit, and app settings all at once.
- Keep the issue in context. Note the selected region, route type, destination app, and error message. Remove account credentials and subscription details before sharing. More specific troubleshooting details make it easier to narrow down the cause.
If the same account notice appears on different routes to the same destination, check the destination service’s account rules first. If you can’t connect to multiple websites, check the client and access network. The route list offers connection options; it is not a diagnosis. For help, open a support ticket in the user dashboard and describe which step fails. Don’t post subscription links or passwords publicly.
Coverage and how to use the service
VPNNV covers 120+ countries / 220+ routes and supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, with unlimited simultaneous devices. Coverage figures describe the range of available regions and routes; they do not mean every region suits every app. Different devices may use different local networks, so check each connection separately. Results on a computer do not necessarily apply to other devices.
To get a client and subscription, sign in to the user dashboard. Download access depends on the active plan shown there. Marketing pages do not provide installers or public subscription links. No email address is required to create an account; use a username and password. Keep your account details safe, and protect subscription information when sharing devices.
Billing and route selection are separate decisions. For regular use, consider a monthly subscription: ¥9.9/month includes 60GB, ¥18/month includes 250GB, and ¥28/month includes 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date. When you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. For occasional use, compare data packages: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. They remain valid until used and never expire. Don’t confuse a plan’s data allowance with the performance level of a particular route.
Payment methods: Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT. The service offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. See the plans page for billing details and the refund policy for instructions on requesting a refund. Decide how you’ll use the service, then review the billing options so you can assess route suitability separately from how much data you need.
