International Routes and Choosing an Exit
Coverage includes 100+ countries / 230+ routes. The endpoints below are examples, not a complete list. First filter by the region requirements of your destination service, then compare real-world performance during the hours you usually connect. Geographic distance, route type, and app performance don’t always line up, so a country name alone isn’t enough to make a choice.
Filter by Route Type
IEPL dedicated lines, relay routes, and direct connections describe how a connection reaches its exit; they don’t rank performance across all network conditions. Relay routes connect through an intermediate path, direct connections reduce intermediate hops, and dedicated lines offer another type of link. Consider route type alongside your local network, destination region, and task. If a webpage works but an app doesn’t, first check whether the app is using the path configured in your client; there’s no need to switch your entire subscription right away.
Primary and Backup Routes
Once you’ve chosen a regular route, keep another exit in the same region as a backup. For sign-ins, payments, or long conversations, choose your route before starting to avoid changing sessions mid-task. If you need to switch, finish the current request first, then reconnect and verify the result. When reporting an issue, include the app, exit region, and the step where it occurred. That’s more helpful for troubleshooting than simply saying “it doesn’t work.”
