Regions and City Examples
VPNYZ covers 110+ countries with 240+ routes. A region indicates where your traffic exits; a route type describes how it gets there. The same region may be available through different paths. When choosing a route, consider the service's supported regions, your local network, and whether your task requires a long-lived connection.
The table below shows example regions, cities, and route types to illustrate how to choose a route. It is not a complete list of currently available nodes, and it does not mean every city always offers the route type shown. After signing in, refresh your subscription and check the client for available regions, node names, and configurations. A region in a route name does not guarantee that a service will accept traffic from that exit; the platform determines account eligibility and terms of service.

Route Types and Costs
Think of an international route as a relay path: your device connects to the network, traffic travels across one or more links, then exits in the destination region to reach a website. IEPL, relay, and direct describe different ways of organizing that path—not a fixed ranking of performance. Even routes of the same type can feel different depending on the entry point, exit resources, and local carrier routing.
IEPL
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. These routes use dedicated transport resources to connect access points in different regions, giving more control over routing on the interregional segment. This describes only the dedicated portion of the link; the local connection and the path from the exit to the website can still affect performance.
For AI tools that generate content over time, video calls, or long work sessions, consider comparing the dedicated routes available in your subscription. Focus on whether requests complete and sessions stay connected, rather than choosing by route label alone. A dedicated exit may not help if your local Wi-Fi is unstable.
Dedicated transport generally requires more capacity and maintenance resources. This is a general technical distinction, not an indication that VPNYZ charges separately by route or that a particular plan includes dedicated capacity. Check the plans page for included features and pricing.
Relay
A relay route sends traffic to an entry node first, then forwards it over an intermediate link to an exit. The entry handles access and routing, while the exit connects to the target website. An extra relay step can provide flexibility in choosing an entry point and onward path; more hops do not automatically mean a slower connection.
Relay routes are worth considering for everyday browsing, accessing materials, and comparing services in different regions. If a route performs poorly at a time you commonly use it, try another route in the same region to see whether the path is the issue before changing your account region.
Relay costs depend on how entry, forwarding, and exit resources are combined, and typically require more coordination than a single-path route. A relay is not the same as a dedicated line and does not guarantee access to any particular streaming service. Check the route details in the client and test it with your actual use case.
Direct
A direct route generally means your device connects to the exit node over your current network, without an additional relay entry point for users. The setup is relatively simple, but traffic still passes through carrier networks and interregional routing. “Direct” does not mean there is only one physical link between your device and the exit, nor does it make geographic distance irrelevant.
If your current network has a suitable route to the destination region, a direct connection may work well for browsing, developer tools, and work. If access is fine during the day but stalls at your usual usage time, compare other routes with the same task and check your local network rather than judging by exit city alone.
A direct route typically uses fewer relay-entry resources, but its actual cost still depends on the exit region, data center resources, and network arrangements. Direct should not be taken to mean a fixed low price or a fixed performance tier; suitability depends on your connection and destination.
Choose a Route by Use Case
Before choosing a route, identify the constraints of your task: which regions the service accepts, whether you need to stay signed in, and whether an interruption could cost you progress. Then compare the routes available. Geographic proximity can be a starting point, but test the route with your actual task instead of assuming one country is best for every purpose.
Everyday Browsing
For reading international websites, researching, and accessing documentation, choose an exit accepted by the site that loads all page resources. Test more than the home page: open an article, images, and site search so you do not mistake cached content for a working connection. If text loads but images keep failing, check whether split-tunneling rules send the page and its resource domains through different routes.
Once you find a suitable route, keep it as your usual choice and have an alternative in the same region if needed. There is no need to keep switching countries because a page occasionally stalls. First rule out site maintenance, browser extensions, and local network issues; that usually makes the cause easier to identify.
Streaming
Check the platform's service regions and your account's subscription eligibility first, then choose an appropriate exit. Test sign-in, a content details page, and actual playback; check that subtitles or audio tracks load if needed. Platforms may determine availability based on the exit address, account settings, and content licensing, so a region name alone is not a promise of a particular library.
Try to keep the same exit throughout playback, and recheck the content after switching routes. If a region warning appears, note its exact wording and check your account region instead of repeatedly refreshing. If you can sign in but cannot play content, troubleshoot it as a playback issue; access to the home page does not prove that the route supports streaming.
AI Tools
Before using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Midjourney, check the tool's regional and account requirements. A network connection provides an access path; it does not change the platform's rules for account eligibility, paid features, or supported regions. Once signed in reliably, keep the exit region consistent to avoid introducing unnecessary variables while troubleshooting.
For chat tools, check that responses continue to load. For image-generation tools, check that tasks submit and results load. For developer tools, confirm that requests from the editor actually use the proxy. Browser access does not mean desktop apps follow the same rules. For specific use cases, see the AI Guide. For setup instructions, see the Getting Started Guide.
Gaming Connections
First check the game server's region and whether the game permits the network configuration you plan to use. The launcher, account sign-in, game downloads, and actual matches may use different connection methods. Opening the launcher only confirms that one part of the connection works; it says nothing about in-game performance.
Choose a route based on how the game actually connects, and check that the client handles the game's traffic. A standard network subscription is not a dedicated service optimized for every game, and this page does not guarantee compatibility with all games. If voice chat and gameplay behave differently, check their connection paths separately instead of repeatedly changing exits while overlooking app settings.
Remote Work
For work, prioritize stable connections, file sync, and your organization's access policies. Before using a company system, check whether your organization restricts exit regions, access sources, or additional authentication. A network subscription cannot replace company authorization. If your device already has a corporate network client, do not override the routes or security settings provided by your organization.
Once a meeting starts, a file upload begins, or a remote session is established, avoid switching exits unnecessarily. To compare routes, finish important work first, then test with the same app and steps. VPNYZ supports unlimited devices, but settings must still be checked on each device; working access on a computer does not confirm that another device is configured correctly.
What to Check After Connecting
First, check your subscription status and remaining data in the user dashboard, then refresh the subscription list in your client. Select a destination region, check that the system or app proxy is enabled, and test access with an international website you need to use. A connected status in the client does not mean setup is complete; verify separately that the target app uses this route.
If access fails, keep the region the same, change only the available route, and repeat the same steps. If one app is affected, check its proxy settings, routing rules, and platform messages first. If all access is affected, check your local network and subscription configuration. Changing one thing at a time makes the results easier to interpret.
When contacting support, include your operating system, client name, selected route name, when the issue occurred, target service, and a screenshot of any error message. Hide account details and subscription information in screenshots, and never share your subscription link publicly. If there is no specific error, describing the issue as “sign-in succeeds, but content won't load” is more helpful than simply saying “it doesn't work.”
