View the route list by region

The table below lists a selection of live routes; the full list is whatever your client pulls from the subscription. It records static facts only: country, city, route type and streaming support. Real-world performance depends on your local network and your ISP's peering, so it is worth keeping two or three backup routes for the same country.

Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific is the densest cluster of international routes: Singapore and Hong Kong are the main entry points for cross-border access and business use, Tokyo and Osaka cover AI tools and Japan-region content, and South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Australia fill in South-East Asia, South Asia and Oceania. For everyday use, pick a city in the same region as the service you want, then choose the route type according to how stable the connection needs to be.

Country / Region	City	Route type	Streaming support
Singapore	Singapore	IEPL dedicated line	4K streaming
Hong Kong	Hong Kong	Relay	4K streaming
Japan	Tokyo	Direct	4K streaming
Japan	Osaka	Relay	1080p streaming
South Korea	Seoul	Direct	4K streaming
Malaysia	Kuala Lumpur	Relay	1080p streaming
Thailand	Bangkok	Direct	1080p streaming
Vietnam	Ho Chi Minh City	Relay	1080p streaming
India	Mumbai	Direct	1080p streaming
Australia	Sydney	Direct	4K streaming

North America

North American routes cover three data-centre bands — US West, East and Central — plus Canada and Mexico. When you use North American streaming services, developer platforms or cloud consoles, pick the city that matches your account's registration country; for long cross-border work sessions, staying on one fixed exit reduces the re-verification prompts that switching exits can trigger.

Country / Region	City	Route type	Streaming support
United States	Los Angeles	Relay	4K streaming
United States	San Jose	IEPL dedicated line	4K streaming
United States	New York	Relay	4K streaming
Canada	Toronto	Direct	4K streaming
Mexico	Mexico City	Direct	1080p streaming

Europe

European routes cover Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Turkey, mostly in cities that host the region's main internet exchanges. For European e-commerce dashboards, banking sites and EU streaming, choose by country first, then compare cities within that country; the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands have the widest route type coverage, and usually offer both relay and direct options in the same country.

Country / Region	City	Route type	Streaming support
Germany	Frankfurt	Direct	4K streaming
United Kingdom	London	Relay	4K streaming
France	Paris	Direct	4K streaming
Netherlands	Amsterdam	Relay	4K streaming
Spain	Madrid	Direct	1080p streaming
Italy	Milan	Relay	1080p streaming
Sweden	Stockholm	Direct	1080p streaming
Turkey	Istanbul	Direct	1080p streaming

Other regions

Routes in the Middle East, Africa and South America fill in content and business needs in less common regions such as the UAE, South Africa, Brazil and Israel. There are fewer routes in these regions, so test before you commit; if you only need them occasionally, a data pack works out cheaper than a monthly plan — data packs run until the traffic is used up and never expire.

Country / Region	City	Route type	Streaming support
United Arab Emirates	Dubai	Relay	1080p streaming
South Africa	Johannesburg	Direct	1080p streaming
Brazil	São Paulo	Relay	1080p streaming
Israel	Tel Aviv	Relay	1080p streaming

How the three route types differ

The route type decides which path your data takes from the entry point to the exit. The same city can have several route types; they all reach content in the same region, and differ in path stability, cost and the use cases they suit.

IEPL dedicated line

Traffic runs end to end over a dedicated carrier line from entry to exit, so the path never crosses the public internet's exchange and congestion points: it is fixed and low on jitter. Suited to cross-border work, long online meetings and collaboration, and account activity that needs to keep the same exit. Bandwidth costs the most of the three types, so dedicated lines are concentrated in core hubs such as Singapore and San Jose.

Typical regions Singapore / San Jose Best for cross-border work Cost tier High

Relay

The client connects to the nearest entry node first, and the entry node forwards to the exit node over the provider's own links — effectively handing the cross-network leg to the provider. Suited to most everyday use: browsing, streaming and AI tool chats. Mid-range cost, and the largest group of routes; a country usually has several entry points, and switching entry is less hassle than switching country.

Typical regions Hong Kong / Los Angeles / London Best for streaming and AI tools Cost tier Medium

Direct

The client connects straight to the exit node with no extra hop, so the path is the shortest — but it depends more on your local network quality and your ISP's peering. Suited to users with a good local connection who only need content from a specific country. Lowest cost, the most routes and the widest country spread: direct routes make up most of the 110+ countries, and when the connection wobbles, switching to another route in the same city usually fixes it.

Typical regions Tokyo / Frankfurt / Sydney Best for country-specific content Cost tier Low

Route picks by use case

Choosing a route comes down to two questions: which country or region the service you want belongs to, and how long the connection needs to stay up. The first decides the exit city, the second decides the route type. Below are ready-to-follow picks for common use cases.

Use case	Recommended route type	Recommended region	Notes
Everyday browsing	Relay	Same country as the target site	Pick a city in the site's country and stay on one route long term
Streaming and video	Relay / Direct	Matches your account's region	Prefer routes marked 4K streaming
AI tools	Relay / IEPL dedicated line	One fixed country	Keep the exit region consistent; avoid hopping between countries
Gaming and live calls	IEPL dedicated line / Direct	Same or nearby city	Fewer hops; compare route type before city
Cross-border work	IEPL dedicated line	Country where your company systems are hosted	Fixed exit city; several devices share one account

Everyday browsing
Use relay routes as the default and pick the city in the target site's country. When a country has several entry points, stay on one; if a page loads slowly one day, switch entry within the same country first, and only then consider another country.
Streaming and video
Prefer the routes marked 4K streaming in the table, and keep the exit country in the same region as your streaming account. If you are asked to sign in again after a region change, switch back to a route in the original region and try once more; avoid moving one account back and forth between two or three regions.
AI tools
AI services are sensitive to the continuity of your exit region, so pick one route in one country and stay with it. Use the same route for sign-up, sign-in and day-to-day chats; when you need to change, move to another route in the same country rather than to a different country.
Gaming and live calls
Prefer an IEPL dedicated line or a direct route in the same region to cut the number of hops. Choose within the same or a nearby city first, then compare route types; for calls, connect ten minutes early and confirm the link is stable before the meeting starts.
Cross-border work
Use a dedicated line to fix your exit city, and take advantage of unlimited devices to run the same account on several machines — no need to buy a separate plan for laptop and phone. If your company systems check sign-in location, keep the exit city unchanged; before switching cities, check whether re-verification will be needed.

Server FAQ

Common questions about choosing routes, list changes and plan options; more in the Help Centre and the beginner's guide.

How do I troubleshoot a route that will not connect?

First switch to another route in the same country in your client to see whether it is a single exit problem, then check that your local network is working and that the client is up to date. If the subscription pulls fine but the route list is empty, re-import the subscription once to restore it.

Why are there several cities in the same country?

Exits in different cities map to different content regions and business areas — most noticeably in North America and Europe. Just pick the city that matches the service you want; there is no need to stay on one route, and it helps to keep a backup in the same country for when the connection wobbles.

Does the route list change?

Yes. Routes are added and adjusted continuously, and the list you see in the client reflects the most recent subscription pull — re-pull the subscription to see the latest, with no need to download the client again.

Do I have to choose an IEPL dedicated line?

No. Relay routes are enough for everyday browsing and streaming; consider a dedicated line when you need a long-lived connection or a very stable path for cross-border work. All three route types share the same subscription, so you can switch at any time.

How does unlimited devices work?

One account runs on Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux at the same time with no limit on the number of devices; routes are not tied to a device and you do not need to buy separately for each one. Traffic resets every month on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated against the remaining days.

Which payment methods are supported?

Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT. Plans start at ¥9.9/month, plus data packs from ¥158/300GB that run until the traffic is used up and never expire; 7-day refund site-wide, and no email address needed to sign up — a username and password is all it takes.
