VPNBH covers 100+ countries and 150+ routes. The table below illustrates exit regions and route types; it is not a complete live server list. Check the client for current options.
Asia-Pacific routes
For services based in Asia, start by selecting the region where the service is available. Distance can help guide your choice, but actual performance depends on your current network, exit location and the service you’re accessing.
| Country / region | City | Route type | Streaming availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | Singapore | IEPL | Check on platform |
| Japan | Tokyo | IEPL | Check on platform |
| Hong Kong | Hong Kong | Relayed | Check on platform |
| South Korea | Seoul | Direct | Check on platform |
| Australia | Sydney | Relayed | Check on platform |
North America routes
A single country can have multiple cities and route types. If a service requires a specific exit region, confirm the region first, then compare connection stability—not just city names.
| Country / region | City | Route type | Streaming availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Los Angeles | IEPL | Check on platform |
| United States | New York | Relayed | Check on platform |
| Canada | Toronto | Relayed | Check on platform |
| Canada | Vancouver | Direct | Check on platform |
| Mexico | Mexico City | Direct | Check on platform |
Europe routes
You don’t have to rely on a single city for European services. Check the target website’s regional requirements, then compare available routes. If access doesn’t work as expected, check the exit location before repeatedly switching route types.

| Netherlands | Amsterdam | Relayed | Check on platform |
| Sweden | Stockholm | Direct | Check on platform |
Routes in other regions
For less common destinations, first check whether the service requires a local exit. If it doesn’t specify a region, start by testing a commonly used location; a more distant city in the directory isn’t automatically the better choice.

IEPL dedicated routes, relayed connections and direct connections
Route types describe how a connection reaches its exit location. They don’t determine access to a particular website, and the name alone can’t predict performance at every time of day.
IEPL dedicated routes: a planned international path
IEPL routes typically use a purpose-built international transport path between the access network and the exit, relying less on ordinary public-internet routing across borders. They can suit long video calls, ongoing file transfers and situations where you want to reduce the impact of peak-hour route fluctuations. A dedicated route doesn’t guarantee access to a service: streaming platforms may vary content by exit location, account and licensing region, while AI tools have their own regional policies.
These routes usually cost more to build and maintain than standard direct connections, so a dedicated route doesn’t need to be the default for every task. For occasional web browsing, start with a standard route that meets the region requirements. If connection quality repeatedly changes at certain times, compare it with an IEPL route under the same conditions. Keep the device, network and target website the same to make the comparison useful.
Relayed connections: access point to exit
A relayed connection first reaches an access point, which then routes traffic to the selected exit. The intermediate path can change how international traffic travels, making this option useful for balancing exit region and connection stability. If you need a specific exit region and your current network affects the direct route, a relayed connection is worth comparing. The access point and final exit are different; check the exit shown after connecting to see which region a website will detect.
Relayed connections add a link to maintain, and their cost structure often falls between other implementations. That doesn’t mean an extra hop is always slower. Performance also depends on your local network, access point, exit status and target website. If a page still won’t load after switching, first check that the client is connected and the app is using the connection, then investigate the exit or the website itself. Don’t diagnose a problem from the route name alone.
Direct connections: a straightforward starting point
A direct connection goes from your current network to the selected exit without an additional service-side relay point. Its relatively simple setup makes it a good starting point for everyday browsing, research and lighter use; it generally costs less to organize than a purpose-built international route. But skipping a relay doesn’t make a connection faster in every region or at every hour: routing between your local network and the exit can vary too.
For a direct connection, check whether the service requires a particular region, then confirm that the exit matches your needs. If everyday pages load normally but video playback or sustained transfers fluctuate, compare a relayed or IEPL route under the same conditions. For services you use from different regions, keep track of which route works for each task instead of sticking to one type by default.
Choose a route for the task, then check the exit
First decide which service you need and which region it requires, then consider whether changing route types could help. The suggestions below are troubleshooting steps, not a guarantee that any particular platform will be available.
Everyday browsing and research
Start with an exit region that matches the websites you use, then try a direct or relayed connection. Routine web requests are usually intermittent, so a dedicated route may not be necessary. If a page doesn’t load completely, check whether your browser is still using an old connection and whether the issue affects only certain sites. Then try another route type in the same region. Change one thing at a time while keeping the region constant so you can compare results.
Streaming and video
First identify the platform and the regional catalog you want to access, then choose the matching exit. Opening the homepage, signing in and playing specific content are separate checks; your account region and licensing rights can also affect the result. If playback keeps buffering, compare relayed and IEPL routes in the same region, and check your local network and playback device. A route label is not a guarantee that a platform will play.
AI tools and workflows
Before accessing an AI tool, check its own regional availability rules and choose an exit that meets them. Sign-in, opening a chat and maintaining a long session can each present different issues. If only one tool isn’t working, that doesn’t necessarily mean the entire route is down. Test the same tool with the same exit region, try another route in that region if needed, and check your account status and browser cache. The provider’s official guidance takes precedence for regional policies.
Gaming and interactive apps
Interactive apps depend on a consistent connection and the region of the game server. Choose an exit that matches the server region rather than simply picking the nearest-looking city. Check the region settings in the app, then compare how each route performs at the same time of day on the same network. If the app has its own network diagnostics, use those results too. Normal web access doesn’t necessarily mean a route will work well for gaming.
Remote work and sustained connections
Video calls, online documents and continuous transfers are more sensitive to fluctuations than occasional browsing. First confirm which regions your work systems allow, then compare eligible routes during your usual work hours. If a direct connection is unstable, test a relayed route and then an IEPL route. Save any unsent work before switching to avoid disrupting the task while the connection reconnects. Follow your organization’s access policies if its systems have specific requirements.
Check the exit location before assessing performance
A route name tells you what you selected. The actual exit and the target service’s response show whether that choice is working for you.
Check what uses the connection
Confirm in the client that the route is connected, then check whether your browser or target app is using it. Some apps keep existing sessions open, so after switching routes they may still show old content. Close and reopen the relevant page before deciding whether the change took effect. If multiple sites are inaccessible, use Troubleshooting to check the client and your local network step by step.
Then verify the exit region
Use IP lookup to see your current public IP address and its reported location, then compare it with the service region you need. Location databases may differ or be out of date, so check what the target website reports as well. If only one platform is affected, look into its account region, policies and app cache rather than repeatedly changing unrelated settings.
