Browse server routes by region
The table highlights representative regions, cities, and connection types. A country or region may offer several access methods. In practice, confirm the target website or app’s region first, then test an exit that is geographically closer. Streaming support also depends on regional licensing and account settings, so “Supported” means the route can serve as an entry point for that region; it does not guarantee identical content libraries.
Asia-Pacific
Suitable for websites, online services, work platforms, and content resources in Asia. A shorter distance usually means a shorter path, but your local network and target service should still guide the choice.
| Country / region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | Singapore | IEPL | Supported |
| Hong Kong, China | Hong Kong | IEPL | Supported |
| Japan | Tokyo | Relay | Supported |
| Japan | Osaka | Direct | Supported |
| South Korea | Seoul | Relay | Supported |
| Taiwan, China | Taipei | Relay | Supported |
| Thailand | Bangkok | Direct | Depends on the target region |
| Malaysia | Kuala Lumpur | Direct | Depends on the target region |
North America
Suitable for North American content platforms, developer services, cloud workspaces, and international websites. When the target service is in North America, choosing the same region directly usually makes it easier to maintain a consistent session than routing through another area.
| Country / region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Los Angeles | IEPL | Supported |
| United States | San Jose | Relay | Supported |
| United States | Seattle | Direct | Supported |
| United States | New York | Relay | Supported |
| Canada | Toronto | Direct | Supported |
Europe
For European content libraries, regional websites, remote collaboration environments, and local business systems. Europe spans a large area, so match the target service’s country first, then compare connection performance across available routes.
| Country / region | City | Route type | Streaming support |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | London | Relay | Supported |
| Germany | Frankfurt | IEPL | Supported |
| France | Paris | Relay | Supported |
| Netherlands | Amsterdam | Direct | Depends on the target region |
| Spain | Madrid | Direct | Depends on the target region |
Other regions
For services in Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. These destinations are often physically farther from your local network, so accurate region matching matters more than repeatedly switching between regions.

Route types and cost differences
IEPL, relay, and direct connections describe the path from your local network to the exit server. They are not simply ranked from better to worse: IEPL focuses on control over the cross-border segment, relay routes offer more path flexibility, and direct routes keep the structure simple. Actual performance is also affected by your local carrier, target website, device network, and time of day.
IEPL
IEPL places the key cross-border segment on a more controlled connection path, reducing uncertainty caused by repeated changes in public-network routing. It is better suited to long meetings, sustained transfers, remote desktops, developer-tool sessions, and work that depends on connection continuity.
These routes require more network resources and maintenance, so they generally cost more than standard direct connections. Their value is not a single speed-test result, but a clearer and more controllable cross-border path. If your local access network is unstable, check the Wi-Fi connection and carrier exit first.
Relay routes
A relay route connects to a suitable entry point first, then uses the relay network to reach the target exit. Its main purpose is to avoid unstable or heavily detoured public paths while offering more routing combinations for different local carriers. When the destination is far away or the direct path is poor, relay is often a practical balance between stability and cost.
Relay adds another link to the path, so the entry, exit, and intermediate route must work together. Its resource cost usually falls between IEPL and direct connections, and it depends more on route scheduling. If both relay and direct routes are available in the same region, complete a real task with each before deciding instead of relying only on a brief connection check.
Direct routes
A direct route connects your local network straight to the target exit, creating a simpler path with fewer intermediate scheduling steps. It suits everyday browsing, general file access, short sessions on websites for a specific region, and networks that already have a good path to the target region.
Direct routes generally have lower route-management costs, but performance is more sensitive to public-network routing. Different carriers, locations, and times may use different paths, so direct does not mean faster in every environment. If pages respond inconsistently or long-lived connections drop, compare a relay or IEPL route in the same region.
Do not judge by the name alone
A route name describes the network structure; it does not directly predict how an application will perform. Compare routes under the same device, local network, and target service by completing real actions such as signing in, browsing, playing content, or syncing. This brings application compatibility, region detection, and connection continuity into the same assessment.
Control over the cross-border path, making it suitable for sustained sessions and important work.
Route combinations and scheduling flexibility, making it suitable for long distances and complex network conditions.
A simple path structure, making it suitable for general access and region matching.
Choose server nodes by use case
The goal is not to find one fixed exit for every task, but to match the exit region, connection method, and current use case. Everyday browsing values consistent responses; streaming depends on the content region and sustained transfer; AI tools depend on the login environment and long sessions; gaming is more sensitive to the interaction path; and work should prioritize stable business sessions.
Everyday browsing and international websites
Start with a nearby Asia-Pacific exit so web requests, images, and internal navigation take a shorter path. If a website clearly targets North America or Europe, switch to the relevant region. Everyday browsing rarely requires frequent exit changes; consistently using a route that completes the task normally is better for preserving login status and site-region settings.
If one website loads incorrectly, first check whether the issue is limited to that site. If other sites work normally, try another route type in the same region. If several sites have connection issues, check the local network, client mode, and system time before switching regions.
Streaming and regional content
For streaming, start with the region where the content library is available. For content in Japan, begin with a Japan exit; for US content, choose a US exit. Account region, licensing, app cache, and exit location all affect the result, so reopen the app after switching routes to let the service reassess your current region.
Judge the complete viewing session rather than only whether the home page opens. If the introduction loads but playback later becomes choppy, switch to a relay or IEPL route within the same country. This preserves the target region while letting you compare cross-border paths without changing the content library.
AI tools and development environments
AI tools often combine web login, streaming output, file uploads, API requests, and developer plugins. Choose an exit by first confirming the service’s supported region, then keep login and subsequent use in the same region where possible. Repeatedly switching regions during a session may trigger a new login, region reassessment, or an interrupted task.
On the web, test whether login, conversational output, and file handling remain continuous. In a development environment, also check that the terminal, editor plugin, and browser use the same network rules. If short requests work but long tasks often stop, compare a direct, relay, or IEPL route in the same region and focus on whether the full task completes.
Gaming and interactive apps
Choose a game route based on the game server’s region, not the account registration region or store region. For Asian servers, start with an Asia-Pacific exit; for North American servers, start in North America. Check the full flow—matchmaking, voice chat, gameplay, and reconnection—not just lobby access, since these stages may use different connections.
If the client supports application-based routing, send only the target game and its login components through the selected route while keeping other local apps on their existing connections. This reduces interference from unrelated traffic. If updates work but matches do not start, check that the launcher and game process use consistent network rules.
Work, meetings, and remote collaboration
Work scenarios place greater value on long-lived connections and uninterrupted tasks. Remote desktops, online meetings, code repositories, cloud documents, and business systems may run at the same time, so choose an exit that can support the complete workflow reliably. When the target system is tied to a specific region, prioritize an IEPL or relay route in that region.
Avoid changing countries casually after work begins, as an exit change may cause business systems to revalidate the login environment. If a switch is necessary, save documents, finish uploads, and close important sessions first, then connect to a backup route in the same region. Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux users can access the relevant client entry from the user panel.
Choosing routes and switching
A useful comparison keeps test conditions consistent. Do not change the device, local network, target region, and client mode at the same time, or it will be difficult to identify the cause of a change. The process below works for common uses including websites, apps, streaming, AI tools, and remote work.
Set the target region first
Choose a country based on the region of the website, app, content library, or business system. When the target region is clear, match it directly; when it is not, start with a geographically closer exit. Region selection comes before route type because the wrong country may change content, produce a mismatched region result, or lead to a different service entry point.
Then compare routes in the same region
Within the same country, compare direct, relay, and IEPL routes in turn. Keep the device, local network, app, and test task unchanged, and complete one full login, playback, conversation, sync, or meeting flow. A complete task reveals whether a route suits the current use case better than a single page load.
Keep your regular exit stable
Once you find an exit that suits the task, make it the app’s regular route. Account services, AI tools, and work systems generally benefit from a stable regional environment. Switch to a backup route in the same region only when the connection fails, the target service region changes, or the app’s purpose changes.
Troubleshoot by symptoms
If a webpage will not open, check the domain and local network first. If login works but a long task stops, compare relay or IEPL routes in the same region. If the content region is wrong, check the exit country and account region. If only one app is affected, inspect the client’s split-routing rules. Checking symptoms step by step is more effective than switching randomly.
Understanding global coverage
45VPN covers 110+ countries / 210+ routes. Country coverage indicates the range of available exit regions, while the route count represents combinations of locations and paths. One region may include several cities or connection types, so the country count and route count are not the same thing.
Countries, cities, and exits
Countries help match the service region, cities further identify the exit location, and route types describe the path to that exit. In everyday use, confirm the country first, then review the cities and paths available there. A city name should not be compared separately from the target service; a shorter distance is not necessarily better for every app.
Route count and path choice
A single country may offer IEPL, relay, and direct routes, with entry points in different cities. More routes create room to adapt to different local networks and use cases. When the path changes, keep the target country and adjust only the route type within that region.
Devices and account use
The service supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux and allows unlimited devices. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. When multiple devices access services in the same region, use a consistent exit strategy. Devices with different purposes can also use routes better suited to each task.
