Routes by region and city

These are route examples, not a complete subscription list. City names indicate exit locations, not the actual network distance from you to the exit.

Routes and costs

Route types explained

Route types describe network paths, not performance rankings. The same route type in the same region can perform differently depending on your local provider and the time of day.

IEPL

IEPL

The international segment

IEPL usually refers to an International Ethernet Private Line. In route names, it indicates that the international segment uses a dedicated line; it does not mean the entire connection avoids the public internet. Your connection to the access point and the path from the exit to the destination website may still use public networks. Your local Wi-Fi, carrier routing, and the destination server’s response all affect the experience.

These routes can suit ongoing work, remote collaboration, and tasks where session continuity matters. Their value lies mainly in how the route is managed, not in guaranteeing the same result for every website. Test sign-ins, document saves, and video calls during your actual work hours instead of relying on the “dedicated line” label alone.

Dedicated-line capacity generally involves greater resource investment to build and maintain. This describes the underlying route economics and does not mean VPNTQ charges an extra fee for a particular route. Availability depends on your selected plan and account panel; route type alone does not indicate plan price.

RELAY

Relay routes

Access and forwarding

A relay route first connects you to an access node, which then forwards traffic to the destination exit. This separates how you connect from where your traffic ultimately exits. An extra forwarding step does not necessarily mean a worse experience; if the access path better suits your local provider, the overall connection may be smoother.

Relay routes are worth considering for everyday browsing, streaming, and cross-region work. Choose your exit region first, then compare page loading, video playback, or file transfers in that region. A relay route that works well on home broadband may behave differently on another network, so test again if your connection changes.

Relay routes require coordinated access and exit resources, as well as ongoing forwarding-path maintenance. Their operating costs depend on how the route is organized. A relay is not simply a replacement for a dedicated line or an upgrade over a direct route. A more practical approach is to keep the routes that meet your region requirements so you have options when network conditions change.

DIRECT

Direct routes

Your local international gateway

A direct route usually means the client connects to an exit node in the destination region without an additional service-side relay access layer. “Direct” does not mean a physically straight path or a network with no routers. The actual route depends on your local provider, international peering, and the network hosting the exit.

When your local international connectivity is suitable, direct routes can work for everyday websites, checking region-specific content, and general research. If the connection is unstable, compare a relay or IEPL route in the same exit region. Keep the service and task the same where possible so you do not mistake an occasional website issue for a route-type problem.

Direct routes skip an additional relay layer, so their structure is generally more straightforward. That alone does not mean a plan is cheaper or performs better. Consider your use case, the continuity you need, and your network conditions. Route type helps narrow the options; whether you can complete the task is what matters.

Choose a route for your needs

Start with what you need to access

Decide what you need to do first, then choose a region and connection path. There is no need to use the same route for every task.

Everyday browsing

For research and international websites without a specific region requirement, start with a nearby exit and adjust based on your experience. Check that text, images, and attachments load fully, and note whether multiple websites have issues at the same time. If only one page fails to load, check its address and the site’s status first.

Once you have a route that works for everyday use, there is no need to switch frequently just to try other cities in the directory. Keeping the exit region relatively consistent may reduce repeated account checks by websites. Browser proxy settings, extensions, and cache can also affect access, so consider these separately when troubleshooting route issues.

Streaming

Check the platform’s content rights by region first, then choose the corresponding exit. Reaching the homepage is only an initial check: confirm your account works, the content you want plays, and playback remains stable when you seek. Account subscriptions, content catalogs, and exit detection are separate factors; they should not be collapsed into a single “supported” label.

If a platform reports a region mismatch, leave the playback page, check your current exit, and reopen the app to test again. Avoid changing multiple client settings at once, or it will be hard to tell what made a difference. Video uses data continuously. Check your remaining plan allowance in the account panel and choose a monthly subscription or data package based on your viewing habits.

AI Tools

Before using AI tools such as Gemini, check the platform’s supported regions, account eligibility, and usage rules. A route provides network connectivity; it cannot grant account permissions or guarantee that a platform will accept a particular exit. Test an actual conversation, file upload, or result retrieval rather than treating the appearance of a sign-in page as proof of access.

For long conversations and ongoing generation tasks, use an exit you have already tested. Switching regions mid-task may interrupt a session or trigger another account check. If a task fails, first determine whether the issue is a page connection error, service outage, or account notice before trying another route.

Gaming and interactive apps

For gaming, prioritize the region where the game server is actually hosted, not the region shown in the store or account. Sign-in, updates, matchmaking, and gameplay may connect to different services. Opening the launcher does not show that the route will work for the entire process. Check the game’s network-use rules first, then review your client’s routing settings.

When testing, keep your local network, game server region, and background tasks consistent, and check for uninterrupted matches and clear voice chat. Game updates and cloud downloads also use data. If you need in-depth support for a specific game, verify it in practice; a general international route is not the same as a dedicated gaming optimization service.

Work and remote collaboration

For work, prioritize your business systems’ requirements and connection continuity. Your organization may require access from a fixed region or have its own connection policies; check with your administrator first. Test video conferencing, remote desktops, and code repositories individually. Browsing a webpage is not a substitute for testing every work application.

You can keep alternative routes in the same region so you can switch during maintenance or when network conditions change. Wait for work applications to sync important files and confirm they are saved before changing routes. VPNTQ supports unlimited devices online at the same time, but each device still needs the subscription imported correctly. Device count and available data are separate things.

Verify after connecting

Update your subscription and test the connection

The route directory helps you choose a direction; your account panel provides the actual subscription. Verify the connection on your current device and with the service you need.

Refresh the available route list

Sign in to the account panel to get your subscription, then update it in your client. If the static directory differs from the client list, use the routes returned by your active subscription. Manually saved old configurations may not reflect route maintenance, so avoid relying on outdated screenshots or names to choose a route.

Check your exit and app behavior

After connecting, check your browser’s exit on an IP lookup page, then test the app you want to use. Browsers and other apps may follow different routing rules, so the lookup result does not show that all device traffic takes the same path. If results differ, check the client mode and app settings first.

Open IP lookup →

Describe an issue others can reproduce

If you need help, include your device platform, local network, route name, target service, and the specific error. Before sharing a screenshot, hide account details and subscription links. Never post your full configuration publicly. A description of what you did when the issue occurred is more useful than simply saying “connection failed.”
