Regions and cities

The directory below illustrates how locations and routes may be organized and named; it is not a list of currently available routes. Check your account dashboard for available routes, types and regions. Streaming access depends on your actual connection.

VPNKN covers 100+ countries and offers 230+ routes. This describes the service’s overall network, not a uniform path in every region or a route suited to every use case. Read a country or region as an exit location, a city as a more specific location, and a route type as a description of the connection path. A route name alone cannot tell you its throughput, reliability or access to a particular platform.

On narrow screens, scroll the table horizontally. Streaming availability is not guaranteed; check it with your own account and the content you want to access.

Route types and how they differ

IEPL, relay and direct describe how a connection is routed. Use route type as a filter, not a substitute for testing your actual connection.

IEPL

IEPL: Focus on the international transit segment

IEPL generally refers to a transmission path built around a dedicated Ethernet connection. For international routes, the main distinction is how the cross-border segment is arranged—not a special action required in the client. Dedicated transmission resources generally cost more to procure and maintain than routes relying entirely on public internet routing. When reviewing a service description, check which segment the dedicated route covers rather than relying on the label alone.

For work that requires a sustained connection, file transfers or long viewing sessions, this type of route may be worth considering. However, the connection between you and the entry point still depends on your local access network, and the path from the exit to the destination may involve other networks. Congested Wi-Fi, a busy destination service or background tasks on your device can all affect performance. The IEPL label does not guarantee performance across the entire connection.

RELAY

Relay: Rerouting through an entry point

A relay route typically sends your connection to an entry point, which then forwards it to the destination exit. This can use the connections between different networks to improve a less suitable path. A relay is more than an extra geographic location: traffic passes through a different access and transmission setup. Whether that helps depends on the connection between your local carrier and the entry point, as well as the path from the exit to the destination website.

Relay routes incur costs for entry-point resources, forwarded traffic and exit maintenance. They are generally more complex than a simple direct route, but this alone says nothing about plan pricing or service quality. For everyday browsing, streaming and general work, start by comparing relay routes in suitable regions. If routes in the same region perform differently, assess them individually rather than judging the whole region as suitable or unsuitable.

DIRECT

Direct: A more direct path that relies on public internet routing

A direct route generally means the client connects to an international exit without an additional service-side entry point that forwards traffic. This does not mean data travels through no other devices on the physical network; it means the service uses a simpler routing setup. Direct routes typically depend more on how your local access network works with cross-border public internet routing. A well-matched path may meet your needs, while detours or congestion on shared links can have a greater impact.

Direct routes generally require fewer entry-point resources and less relay maintenance, but resource costs do not predict performance. Compare a direct route as one option alongside other paths, using the same network, a similar time of day and the same destination service. “Direct” does not necessarily mean faster, and a simple path is not automatically unsuitable for sustained connections.

Choose a cross-border route by use case

Start with your destination and what you need to assess, then choose a region and route. Avoid changing your network, device and destination website all at once during a comparison.

Everyday browsing

For web browsing, check whether pages open smoothly, all page assets load and links work without repeated refreshes. Start with a region that is relatively nearby and performs steadily in your actual connection, then check images, sign-in and downloads on sites you use regularly. Geographic distance is only a starting point: actual routing may not take the shortest path, so map distance alone is not a reliable guide.

Once you find a route that works for you, keep it as an everyday option rather than switching frequently just because the directory lists more cities. If one website has a problem, first check whether other sites work. If the issue is isolated, consider the website itself, browser cache and account session before concluding that the entire route is down.

Streaming

First check the content’s region and the platform’s account rules, then choose an exit location accordingly. Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube may determine what to show based on your account, content rights, exit IP address and their own policies. Loading the home page does not guarantee that a particular title will play; successful playback does not guarantee consistent picture quality.

To test access, open the content you actually plan to watch and check playback, subtitles, seeking and sustained viewing. Picture quality can also depend on local Wi-Fi, device decoding and the platform’s adaptive streaming. The directory lists streaming access as “Verify with your actual connection” rather than promising access based on location names.

AI Tools

Check service availability by region, account eligibility and terms of use separately for tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. A network connection is only one part of access; it does not change account permissions or include a subscription to any of these tools. When choosing a route, first check that you can sign in, load pages and submit requests normally, then see whether responses continue without interruption.

For file uploads or long generation tasks, choose a route before you begin to avoid changing exits mid-task. If you see an account- or region-related error, follow the platform’s troubleshooting guidance. If ordinary pages will not load either, check your local network and connection settings. Recording account issues separately from network issues makes it easier to identify the cause.

Gaming

First check the game server’s region and whether the game permits the network connection method you plan to use. Game downloads, account sign-in and live matches may use different service addresses, so a website working or a download completing smoothly does not prove that the connection is suitable for gameplay. Test it in the game itself rather than judging by the city name.

Games can be sensitive to route changes, and a geographically closer exit may still be unsuitable if public internet routing takes a detour. VPNKN’s subscription service is not a dedicated optimization solution for every game. If client split tunneling does not cover the game, or the game has region-specific rules, check your configuration and the game’s guidance before continuing with that route.

Work and collaboration

For work, focus on whether session continuity, calls, document saving and file transfers meet your needs. If you are using a managed work device or accessing company resources, check your organization’s network and data-handling policies before configuring the client. A network acceleration subscription does not replace company authentication or grant access you do not already have.

Before a meeting or file upload, use the same device to check sign-in, audio and video, and sync status. Keeping the exit location relatively stable can help reduce repeated verification triggered by changes in your access environment. VPNKN allows unlimited devices, but each device still needs its own subscription import and permission checks. Keep an eye on data usage in your account.

Test your connection and keep route notes

Check “connects,” “can access” and “suitable for sustained use” separately. Base your conclusions on your actual use case, not a label in the directory.

Check your subscription, then test your destination

Get your subscription from the user dashboard and update the route list in your client. Older local caches may not match the current list in your account. If a route is missing, update your subscription first, then check your account status and any messages from the client. Your client and subscription link are both in the dashboard; there is no need to copy route addresses from this directory.

After connecting, open a website you use regularly, then try the target app. If basic browsing works but one app fails, check that app’s account status, service region and split-tunneling settings. If nothing works, start by checking your local network, system connection permissions and the configuration currently in use by the client.

Keep useful notes for comparison

Note your local network, device, route name, time of use and target app. Keep conditions consistent when comparing routes, and describe specific issues—for example, page assets failing to load, a dropped meeting or an unsuccessful file upload. This is more useful than a vague note like “slow” and makes it easier to see whether the issue is tied to a particular route.

If you need help, submit a support ticket through the dashboard with a description of what happened and any error text. Before sharing a screenshot, hide your subscription link, password and other sensitive account details. Do not post your full subscription details in a public discussion. If the issue concerns an account with the destination platform, avoid sharing personal information unrelated to troubleshooting.

The route directory does not change how billing works. Monthly subscription data resets monthly on the activation date; if you upgrade partway through, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data packages remain available until used and never expire. See the plans page for prices and data allowances.

Available for Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. For help with connections, permissions or subscription updates, see the help center. Before choosing a plan, you can also review the plans and the 60-day money-back guarantee.
