Regional Route Preview

The table below is a guide to regional connection options, not a complete route list or a guarantee of streaming compatibility.

VPNHand covers 100+ countries and 250+ routes. Information is grouped by Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and other regions to help narrow your search. Public information does not map individual cities, route types, or platforms, so these details are marked as subject to confirmation in the dashboard or through testing. Regional coverage should not be taken to mean that a particular dedicated route is available.

Use locations to find an exit. Check the specific route and platform to confirm streaming access.

Check the user dashboard for specific connection options, cities, and route types in other regions. This page does not list unconfirmed locations.

On narrow screens, scroll horizontally to view the table. Route names may include a location, protocol, or group label. Consider each piece of information separately rather than relying on a single word in the name.

Choosing an exit involves more than its geographic location. An exit in a particular region can provide an access path associated with that region, but a destination website may also consider account location, content licensing, payment region, and exit address classification. A successful connection only confirms that a network path has been established; it does not guarantee access to a catalog, account features, or every page.

Route Types and Network Paths

The following is general technical information; it does not mean every type is available in every region listed in the table.

An exit location answers “where are you accessing from?” Route topology describes how traffic reaches the exit. Protocols define how the connection is established and data is transferred. These are different layers: changing the protocol may not change the network path, and changing the exit may not change the entry point. Troubleshooting each layer separately makes it easier to identify what improved.

IEPL Dedicated Lines: The Network Path

IEPL usually refers to an international Ethernet private line, which uses dedicated transmission resources to connect locations. Unlike paths that rely entirely on the public internet, this type of connection emphasizes planned capacity and path management. The experience still depends on the local connection to the entry point, server resources, internet connectivity at the exit, and the destination website. The label “dedicated line” alone does not predict end-to-end performance.

This architecture may suit use cases that prioritize continuity, sustained transfers, and performance during evening peak hours. Build-out and ongoing lease costs are typically higher than for public-internet paths, and also depend on transmission resources and delivery methods. Differences in technical costs do not indicate VPNHand plan price differences. Check the dashboard for actual availability and route details.

Relay Routes: Rerouting Traffic Through an Entry Point

A relay route sends traffic to an entry point first, then forwards it to an exit. Its purpose is not simply to add another stop, but to improve the connection between your local network and the exit by choosing an entry point and onward path. If the entry point is well connected to your local carrier, a relay may provide a steadier transfer than a direct connection to a distant exit.

Relays require additional forwarding resources, entry bandwidth, and path maintenance, so their cost structure differs from direct connections. An extra entry point also means considering congestion and forwarding stages. Whether a relay suits everyday use or extended streaming depends on actual results. A relay is not the same as a dedicated line, and forwarding does not guarantee better performance.

Direct Connections: Connect Straight to the Exit

A direct connection usually means the client connects to an exit node over the public internet, with a simpler setup and no separately deployed relay entry point. Performance depends more directly on local carrier routing, interregional peering, and exit connectivity. A nearby location does not guarantee a shorter network path; routing detours can still affect performance.

Direct connections generally require fewer relay resources, but operating costs also depend on exit bandwidth, location, and resource allocation. For users with a clear destination and a suitable current network path, a direct connection can serve as a comparison baseline. If performance fluctuates at peak times, compare other paths instead of assuming the client or device is at fault.

Choose an Exit by Use Case

Keep the task conditions constant and change only the route to get a more useful comparison.

Everyday Browsing

Start with an exit that matches the destination website’s region and loads pages consistently on your current network. Check more than the homepage: test images, login redirects, and requests within the page. If the homepage loads but images keep spinning, different resources may be using different routing rules, or the website’s resource host may have separate access requirements.

For everyday browsing, a stable route that needs little adjustment is often preferable. Once you find one that works, keep using it and switch only when an issue is reproducible. Frequent location changes may trigger extra account checks and make comparisons harder.

Streaming

Check the content’s region first, then choose a corresponding exit. Content and playback permissions on platforms such as Netflix and Disney+ may vary with licensing, account details, and how the exit is identified. Being able to sign in does not mean a specific title will play, and starting playback does not guarantee consistent quality over time.

Test by opening the content you want to watch, checking playback continuity, and confirming that your TV, browser, or app is actually using the selected connection. Automatic picture quality also depends on device decoding, playback settings, and your local Wi-Fi. See the streaming access guide for more details.

Accessing AI Tools

Before accessing AI tools such as ChatGPT, check the service’s regional and account requirements, then use an exit that meets them. A network connection handles data transmission; it does not replace platform account permissions, subscription status, or regional service rules. Verify page loading separately from features such as chats and file processing.

For ongoing use, keep the exit location consistent where possible. If the homepage loads but responses fail, check the client connection and local network before comparing other routes. Avoid changing your account, browser, and exit all at once. Read the AI tools access guide for more information.

Gaming Connections

First check the game server’s region and whether the client can route the game’s traffic. In-game connections, launchers, and downloads may use different network paths, so accessing a website in your browser does not prove that the game’s traffic is taking the same route. Some games also have their own regional or account rules.

When choosing a route, focus on consistent in-game responsiveness rather than webpage loading speed. Game downloads and real-time matches have different needs; a route suited to large transfers may not suit interactive play. VPNHand’s international route information does not guarantee compatibility with any specific game.

Remote Work

Follow your organization’s access policies first. Business applications may restrict exit regions, require a dedicated corporate connection, or use IP allowlists. Before using an international route, check that it will not conflict with existing corporate network settings, and do not replace authentication methods required by your organization.

Test real work tasks, including document syncing, meeting connections, and file transfers. Meeting interruptions are not necessarily caused by an international route; local Wi-Fi changes, device sleep, and background syncing can also affect performance. If your work requires a fixed exit IP address, confirm that the product meets this requirement rather than inferring a fixed address from the location name.

Connection Checks and Troubleshooting

Narrow down the cause one layer at a time, from your account and client to your local network and the destination service.

Check Your Account and Client Status First

Check your subscription status in the user dashboard, then confirm that the client has refreshed the subscription, selected the intended route, and connected successfully. If the list is empty, route names have not updated, or authorization looks wrong, troubleshoot subscription import first. Switching locations repeatedly is unlikely to fix the underlying issue. The client and subscription links are in the user dashboard; see the getting started guide for the steps.

Keep Test Conditions Consistent

Compare routes using the same device, local network, and destination task. Check that the destination website is working before changing the exit or path. If the issue changes when you switch local networks, it may be related to your network connection. If only one feature of a destination is affected, check the platform’s rules and the client’s split-tunneling settings.

Peak-hour fluctuations may come from your local connection, public internet peering, entry resources, or the destination server. Slow page loads, interrupted transfers, and failed logins are different symptoms and may need different fixes. Keep error messages and the steps that trigger the issue; this is more useful for troubleshooting than saying only that a route “doesn’t work.” For technical background, see the protocol and network route guide.

Report a Reproducible Issue

If the cause is still unclear, use a support ticket in the user dashboard to share your device platform, client status, selected route name, destination service, and the steps that trigger the issue. Hide subscription links and sensitive account details in screenshots. Never send your account password. A clear description of what happened at each step helps distinguish network issues from destination service restrictions.

Coverage and Usage Limits

Read service details separately from test results for specific tasks.

VPNHand supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, with unlimited devices connected at the same time. Device count and data allowance are different: unlimited devices does not mean unlimited data. Manage usage across multiple devices according to your plan. Compare monthly subscriptions and data bundles on the plans page.

Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. When you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data bundles remain available until used and never expire. Do not infer extra charges or service tiers from a location name; refer to the plan details for confirmed benefits.

You can create an account with a username and password; no email address is required. VPNHand follows an anonymous, no-logs policy. See the Privacy Policy for details on data handling. This policy is separate from the data practices of destination websites, so review their terms when using third-party services.

This service supports Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT and offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. See the Terms of Service for refund rules. The location list is a guide to choosing a route, not a substitute for a destination platform’s terms, and does not guarantee that any third-party platform will always accept the same exit.
