Nodes & Routes

Global node and route coverage

VPNLW routes cover 120+ countries / 230+ routes. This page lists representative routes across four groups — Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and the rest of the world — with route type, protocol and streaming support noted, then explains how IEPL dedicated, relay and direct paths work and how they differ, and closes with a route order sorted by use case. The tables state static facts only; the routes actually available are the ones listed in the client after sign-in.

Route list

Browse routes by region

Each region lists a handful of representative routes. One country may have several routes belonging to different route types; the full list expands by region inside the client.

Asia-Pacific routes

Asia-Pacific has the shortest paths, with exits concentrated in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. Japan and Singapore offer both IEPL dedicated and relay routes, a good fit for streaming and long-lived connections; South Korea and Hong Kong lean on direct routes with short paths, suited to web pages and messaging. Australia and the Southeast Asian nodes cover the southern hemisphere and Oceania catalogues.

North America routes

North American routes centre on the US west coast: Los Angeles carries an IEPL dedicated line, while Seattle and New York run on relay. Streaming catalogues tied to North American exits update quickly, so most viewing demand lands in this group. Toronto is direct, for cases that need a North American exit without an extra hop; Mexico City covers northern Latin America.

Europe routes

European routes cluster in the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands and the Nordics. London carries an IEPL dedicated line, Frankfurt and Paris run on relay, and Amsterdam is direct. European exits suit European services and European catalogues; Istanbul sits at the Europe-Asia junction and works as an alternative entry point for cross-region access.

Rest of world routes

The rest of the world covers the Middle East, South Asia and South America. Dubai carries an IEPL dedicated line and is the main entry for the Middle East; Mumbai is direct; São Paulo and Buenos Aires run on relay for South America. This group holds fewer routes than the first three regions, so treat it as a supplement for a specific catalogue or service rather than a default daily exit.

Route types

Three route types

All three types coexist in one subscription, and switching routes costs nothing extra; the differences show up in path length, peak-hour behaviour and bandwidth cost per unit.

Route type decides how data travels between your location and the exit node. A Japan exit over a dedicated line, over relay or over direct takes a completely different path, and behaves differently at peak hours. The three cards below break this down by principle, best-fit scenarios and cost; after reading them, picking from the tables above goes faster.

Route type IEPL

IEPL dedicated

IEPL is an international Ethernet private line supplied by carriers: bandwidth is fixed at both ends, traffic runs on a dedicated channel rather than the public internet exit, and the path is settled when the line is provisioned. Its value shows at peak hours — when public exits congest, dedicated bandwidth is not squeezed by other traffic, long-lived connections drop less often, and video calls and file transfers hold a steadier rate.

Best for: video calls, large file transfers, long unattended sessions
Trade-off: limited route count, placed only at major hubs
Cost: highest of the three, most expensive per unit of bandwidth

IEPL · Tokyo / Los Angeles / London / Dubai

Route type Relay

Relay

Relay connects you to the entry node nearest your location first, then forwards from that entry to the exit node over an optimised path. The user-to-entry leg is usually short and the intercontinental leg is handled by the provider, so peak-hour jitter is smaller than with pure direct. The price is one extra hop, and the path is no longer the shortest one.

Best for: cross-continent access, streaming, peak-hour use
Trade-off: one extra hop; in some cases latency is higher than direct
Cost: mid-range, and the largest pool of nodes

Relay · Singapore / Frankfurt / Paris / São Paulo

Route type Direct

Direct

Direct means connecting straight to the exit node with no extra forwarding hop, on the shortest path. How well it performs depends on the quality of your local exit: when that exit is idle, direct is often the fastest option; when it congests, direct degrades with it, because there is no middle layer to route around. Testing is simple — switch to a relay route in the same time window and compare.

Best for: web browsing, messaging, simple single-hop cases
Trade-off: clearly affected by local exit quality
Cost: lowest of the three, with the widest city coverage

Direct · Seoul / Hong Kong / Amsterdam / Mumbai

Picking a route

Pick routes by use case

Try the first option; if it will not connect, move down the list. Switching is one click in the client and needs no re-import of the subscription.

One subscription covers every route; choosing a route only decides which exit you leave from right now. Different uses care about different metrics: web pages care about first-screen speed, streaming about catalogue region and bandwidth, AI tools about long-connection stability, games about round-trip latency, and work about whether peak-hour bandwidth gets squeezed. The order below covers five common uses.

Daily browsingWeb · Search

Direct first: Seoul, Hong Kong, Amsterdam. Short paths mean the least waiting for pages and search results. When direct is unstable, switch to a relay route in the same region, such as Singapore or Frankfurt — one extra hop, but a more controllable path and steadier peak-hour performance.

StreamingCatalogues · 4K

IEPL and relay first: Tokyo, Los Angeles, London. Catalogues follow the exit region, so pick the exit in the region whose catalogue you want rather than settling for a nearby one. 4K playback is more bandwidth-sensitive, so prefer a dedicated line at peak hours; relay is enough for 1080P.

AI toolsLong connections

IEPL and stable relay first: Los Angeles, Tokyo, Frankfurt. These tools mostly run on long connections, and a mid-session drop means starting over, so route stability matters more than first-screen speed. Do not switch routes mid-conversation — switching ends the current session.

GamingRound-trip latency

Direct and IEPL first: Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong. Games are the most sensitive to round-trip latency, so shorter paths win and the extra relay hop usually does not pay off. Test the connection in the client before playing — confirm sign-in and matchmaking work, then start the match.

Work and meetingsSteady bandwidth

IEPL first: Tokyo, Los Angeles, London. Video meetings need steady bandwidth more than peak speed, and dedicated segments are less likely to be squeezed at peak hours. For file sync and repository pulls, dedicated or relay routes are likewise better, avoiding mid-transfer drops and retries.

FAQ

Common questions

More account and billing questions are covered in the help centre.

Is this the complete route list?

No. This page lists a few representative routes per region to show route types and streaming support. The subscription includes 230+ routes in total; the full list expands by region in the client after sign-in, and new routes appear there directly.

Do different route types cost different amounts?

No. Monthly plans are ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB and ¥28/month with 500GB; all three tiers can use every route type, and the only difference is the data allowance. Data resets monthly on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated to the remaining days.

What should be checked first when a route will not connect?

Switch to another route in the same region first to see whether the problem is a single route; then check that the client is in rule mode and that the subscription is up to date. If several routes in the same region fail, try another region and note the route and client platform in a ticket so the issue can be traced.

How many devices can be used at the same time?

Unlimited. One subscription can sign in on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux at the same time, with no separate purchase per device.

What does 4K ready in the tables mean?

It means the major streaming platforms for that exit region open their regional catalogue normally. Actual picture quality still depends on the source itself, your local bandwidth and the time of day; at peak hours, prefer an IEPL dedicated line.
