REGIONS

Browse routes by region

The table below shows example combinations of regions, cities, and connection types. It is not a live server list, and it does not mean every city always offers the connection type shown. For current names, exit locations, and available routes, check the subscription list in your account.

Streaming availability must be checked for each service. Exit region, licensing, and account rules can all affect access; a connection type alone does not guarantee playback. On narrow screens, swipe horizontally to view the table.

PATH TYPES

Route types and cost differences

The region determines where traffic accesses the destination service; the connection type describes how traffic reaches the exit. Consider these separately—city names alone do not predict connection quality.

IEPL

Designed for cross-border routes

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line, using dedicated cross-border transmission resources to connect two endpoints. Unlike routes that rely entirely on the public internet, it uses a different approach to organizing cross-border traffic and may suit situations where connection continuity is a priority.

Dedicated line resources typically cost more to procure and maintain, but an “IEPL” label does not mean every segment uses dedicated infrastructure. Connections between your device and the access point, or between the exit and the destination website, may still use public networks. Your local wireless network and the destination service also affect performance.

Worth considering for sustained work, long sessions, and streaming responses. Assess the exit region and real-world app performance together rather than relying on the connection type alone.

Relayed

Connect through an access point to an exit

With a relayed connection, traffic first goes to an access server, then continues to an exit in the destination region. This is more than simply taking an extra hop: combining the access location with the onward route can improve performance when a local network struggles to reach a distant exit directly.

Costs depend on the mix of access, transit, and exit resources, not just the number of hops. A well-chosen relay may help with congestion, but results depend on your network, time of day, and the destination website’s location.

Worth considering for everyday browsing, streaming, and connections where both region and performance matter. If things feel sluggish, compare different routes in the same region before switching countries.

Direct

Fewer relay steps

A direct connection generally means your device connects to the destination entry point or exit without an additional relay node arranged by the service. “Direct” does not mean there are no carrier routes, nor does it guarantee the shortest path to every website.

Direct connections often have a simpler access structure and may require fewer relay resources, but exit quality and carrier peering still involve costs. Changes in public internet routing can affect performance, so a simpler route does not necessarily mean consistently faster connections.

Worth considering when your local network has a smooth route to the destination region and your use case is clear. Assess page loading, uninterrupted playback, and session stability together.

BY PURPOSE

Choose an egress by use case

There is no single best route for every task. Browsing, streaming, AI tools, and work can have different requirements for region, connection continuity, and account context. Start with what you need to do, then narrow down your options.

Everyday browsing

Start with a region you use often

For documents, research, and code hosting, start with a route in a region you use often. Geographic proximity can be a helpful first filter, but it is not the only factor: carrier peering and a website’s content delivery locations may matter more than map distance when pages load.

Check both the initial load and whether images, attachments, and follow-up pages work smoothly. If only one site is affected, check its status and your browser settings first. If several sites are affected, compare other routes in the same region. Keeping a preferred everyday exit can also reduce repeated login checks caused by frequent switching.

Streaming

Check the content region first

For streaming, first check the release region for the content you want, then choose a route in that region. Opening a service’s homepage, signing in, and playing a specific title are different outcomes and do not guarantee one another. The catalog may also depend on your account region, billing region, and how the service identifies your location.

When comparing routes, check playback continuity, whether playback resumes after seeking, and performance during your usual viewing hours. Changing exits does not change content entitlements. If a service reports a regional or account restriction, check its own rules. A region listed in the route table is not a promise of access to a specific catalog or resolution.

AI Tools

Keep your region and session consistent

Tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini may consider more than whether a connection reaches them; access controls can also take exit region, account status, and usage patterns into account. Check the tool’s official supported regions first, then choose an appropriate exit. A network connection does not replace account eligibility or guarantee that a third-party service will accept a particular exit.

Streaming responses and long sessions depend on a steady connection. Choose a route before you start working and avoid switching regions mid-generation. Access through a browser does not mean command-line tools, IDE plugins, or API requests use the same route; check proxy settings for each. For more environment checks, see the AI Acceleration Guide.

Gaming

Check the game server and route

The game server’s region matters more than the language shown in your account settings. Confirm which server region you are actually connected to, then check whether the client routes the game process and whether the relevant traffic reaches the intended exit. Smooth web browsing does not necessarily mean the in-game connection will perform the same way.

VPNPaper is a subscription service for cross-border connectivity, not a dedicated solution tailored to every game. For latency-sensitive games, check in-game indicators and follow the platform’s rules on regions and network tools. If a route disconnects, note the game region and what was happening, then compare another route.

Remote work

Avoid changing routes mid-task

Video calls, remote desktops, cloud documents, and file syncing all have different connectivity needs. Before work, test sign-in, audio and video, and file access in the apps you actually use—not just whether a homepage loads. If you’re connecting to a corporate network, check your organization’s access policies and device management requirements first.

During a meeting or editing session, keep the current exit and connection method where possible; switching routes can interrupt your session. If a corporate VPN, proxy setting, or security tool conflicts, don’t disable controls required by your organization. Ask your administrator to confirm the routing setup. Unlimited devices makes it easier to use multiple devices, but each still needs a correctly configured client.

CONNECTION CHECK

What to check before and after connecting

Refresh your subscription before comparing routes

The route list in your client comes from your subscription. If names change, entries are updated, or an old option stops working, check your subscription status in the dashboard and refresh the list in your client. Don’t rely on old screenshots or share your subscription link; it provides access to your account.

Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux are supported platforms. Find the client and subscription link in your account dashboard. For initial setup, follow the Quick Start Guide to import your subscription. Then check that the connection is enabled and the selected route matches. Don’t mistake a cached browser result for your current connection status.

Get the client

Change one setting at a time

When troubleshooting, keep your device, local network, and destination app unchanged, and switch only the route. If you change your network, region, and client mode at once, it’s hard to know what fixed the issue. First determine whether all apps are affected or just one service, then decide whether to change the exit.

When asking for help, include your device platform, the route name shown in your client, the destination service, and any error message. Hide account details and subscription information. VPNPaper offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund. See the Terms of Service for usage rules and refund details, or submit a support ticket from your account dashboard for account issues.
