This table compares destinations and route types; it is not a live status dashboard. See the client for the full list of available routes.
“Supported” means the example route is labeled for streaming; it does not guarantee access to every library or content at all times. “Not labeled” means you should check the route’s usage label in the client before connecting. Streaming catalogs, platform rules and access results can change by time and region. Swipe horizontally to view the table on narrow screens.

VPNZR covers 110+ countries and offers 170+ routes. This table shows selected examples for reference; the number of rows does not represent the full route count. A country or region may have multiple entry points and paths. City names indicate route destinations, not necessarily the physical location of the servers used by the service you access.
When choosing a location, start with the destination service’s regional requirements. For content tied to a specific region, try a route in that region first. For sites with no regional restrictions, prioritize a route that connects smoothly and performs reliably in practice. Distance is one factor, not a guarantee of connection quality.
PATH REFERENCE
Understanding Route Types
Route types describe how your traffic travels, not a speed tier. Consider the entry point, destination, service you’re accessing and current network conditions together.
IEPL
An IEPL route connects an entry point and an exit through a purpose-planned international path. Its main advantage is a more clearly defined route: compared with relying entirely on regular public internet transit, a planned link can make congestion on the international segment easier to manage. However, “dedicated” does not mean every segment from your device to the destination has the same conditions. Your local connection, exit network and destination service all affect the experience.
For sustained transfers, remote collaboration or extended streaming, consider an IEPL route and test it with your actual tasks. Dedicated routes involve additional setup and maintenance costs, so compare more than the route label: consider your plan’s data allowance, destination region and how often you’ll use it. You may not need this type of route for occasional browsing.
Relayed route
A relayed route connects to an entry point first, which then forwards traffic to the destination. This lets the path between your location and the final exit be planned in segments. If the regular public route to the destination is poor, a relay may provide a better alternative. The trade-off is an extra forwarding segment: congestion anywhere along the path can affect your connection.
A relayed route can suit tasks that need an exit in a specific region when the direct public route is unreliable. Confirm the exit region first, then test stability with real tasks such as browsing, file collaboration or video. Relayed routes require resources to maintain the connection between entry and exit points. Costs vary by route, so the word “relayed” alone doesn’t tell you whether it will be faster than direct or slower than IEPL.
Direct route
A direct route generally connects from your current network to the destination exit without an additional relay entry point. Its simpler structure makes it a useful starting point for everyday browsing. If the route between your network and the destination is already smooth, going direct can reduce forwarding steps and make it easier to tell whether an issue is with your local connection or the destination.
Direct routes are more sensitive to changes in public internet routing. A path that works well during the day may behave differently during busy periods, especially over long distances, so test it in practice. The route structure is usually simpler, but that doesn’t mean the service will always cost less or that direct is the right choice for every destination. If pages repeatedly stall or connections drop, try a relayed or IEPL route in the same region; this is more informative than repeatedly retrying the same route.
Route types describe paths, not performance guarantees. Choose an exit region first, then test whether the route works for the services you use.
Protocols and route types describe different things. A protocol determines how the client and server establish and carry a connection; a route type describes the network path it takes. Different protocols can use the same route type, and changing protocols alone may not resolve congestion at the far end or a mismatched exit region. For a comparison of the design trade-offs among Shadowsocks, VMess, Trojan, VLESS, Hysteria2 and TUIC, see the Protocol Guide. Identify which segment is causing the issue before deciding whether to change protocols, switch route types or choose a location closer to the destination.
USE CASES
Choose a Route by Use
There’s no single best choice for every site and time of day. Use the order below as a troubleshooting starting point, then judge by the actual connection.
Everyday browsing: check the region, then try a simple route
News, documents and general websites usually don’t require an exit in a specific city. Start with a region that works for your destination, then try a direct route with sites you use regularly. Check whether pages load, sign-ins work and links within the site open smoothly. If a route loads only the homepage but regularly stalls on images, attachments or sign-in steps, it’s not a good default for everyday browsing. Try a relay in the same region; this can help narrow down the cause more effectively than switching blindly to a more distant country.
If a site tailors content to your account region, keep the exit region consistent with how you normally use the account. Frequent changes between regions may trigger additional checks by the destination service. Those checks are governed by the service’s own rules and can’t be avoided by changing route types. For everyday browsing, completing the full task reliably matters more than getting one page to load quickly once.
Streaming: match the catalog region before the route name
Before watching, check which region’s catalog includes the platform and content you want, then choose a route in that region labeled for streaming. The table’s labels are only a first-pass guide: platforms may change their catalogs and detection rules, and results can vary between titles even in the same region. Once you open the platform, confirm the region shown and the content available before starting a long viewing session.
If the catalog loads but playback keeps buffering, compare different routes in the same region first rather than switching to a region with the wrong catalog. IEPL and relayed routes are both options for extended playback; choose based on uninterrupted streaming in practice. Video quality also depends on your local network, device and the platform’s own traffic management. A route type alone can’t guarantee a particular quality.
AI tools: test sign-in and sustained use
AI tools often involve account sign-in, ongoing responses, file uploads and downloads. Whether the homepage opens isn’t enough to judge a route. First confirm the tool is available in your chosen region, then use one route to complete the full workflow you rely on. If a long response stops midway, an upload stalls or you’re repeatedly asked to sign in again, try a relay or IEPL route in the same region and check whether the platform itself is experiencing an issue.
Developer tools such as Cursor may connect to sign-in services, model APIs and download hosts at the same time. Focus on whether the entire workflow runs smoothly, not just one response in the chat window. Keeping the exit region consistent before important work also helps distinguish route issues from account settings. For more on protocols and how connections are established, see the Protocol Guide.
Gaming: match the server region and check connection stability
Find out which region the game actually connects to instead of choosing a route based only on the publisher’s location. Once you’ve matched the region, try a direct route and other available paths. Check the connection while joining a room, matchmaking and playing. Games may use their own connection methods, so browsing a website successfully doesn’t mean game traffic is taking the expected path. Cross-check the client’s connection settings with what you see in the game.
Physical distance affects cross-region connections, and no route type can eliminate it. If the destination is far away, choose a game server region that’s permitted and appropriate for your account, then compare routes. If the connection is unstable, check your local network and the game server status first, then try another route. This helps avoid mistaking maintenance on the destination service or local Wi-Fi fluctuations for a route problem.
Remote work: test the complete workflow
Video calls, online documents and remote desktops each have different continuity needs. Choose a route based on the region of the services you use, then test sign-in, joining meetings, screen sharing, saving documents and transferring files. If your tasks run for extended periods, compare IEPL and relayed routes first, but judge them using real tasks during working hours rather than relying on the route label alone.
Team collaboration also depends on the account’s region and the service provider’s access rules. For company-managed systems, follow your organization’s network policies. VPNZR’s international routes don’t replace your company’s own access controls. Before important meetings, confirm that your chosen route connects and have an alternative in the same region ready. That’s more practical than switching repeatedly between countries at the last minute.
CONNECTION CHECK
Checks Before and After Connecting
Break the issue down by region, route, protocol and destination service so you know what changed when you switch routes.
Before connecting: identify your destination
Note the website or app you need, the required exit region, and whether you’ll be streaming, transferring files or interacting continuously. Check the route name and usage label in the client, then confirm the device is using the intended network. VPNZR supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux and unlimited devices online at once. Check the connection status on each device separately.
After connecting: complete a real task
Don’t stop at a “connected” status. Open the destination and complete a real task, such as signing in or playing a video. To check your current exit, use the site’s Network Check page. The result only shows your exit details at that moment; it doesn’t confirm that the destination app will work. If you need to troubleshoot, keep the destination the same and change one route or protocol at a time.
If a route performs poorly at a particular time, try another path in the same region first, then check your local connection and the destination service. Switching to another country may change the result temporarily, but it also changes the exit region, so it won’t tell you which segment improved. Compare the same destination at the same time of day for more useful results. For steps to get a client, import a subscription and verify your connection, see the Getting Started Guide.
