Region Directory

Worldwide Route Preview

Routes are grouped by Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and other regions. Countries and cities identify the exit location; route types describe the connection path. They are not the same thing. This is a partial preview, not a complete directory, and network paths may vary by region.

Streaming availability can depend on platform policies, account region and the specific exit route, so support is not guaranteed to remain available. Check the user dashboard and client subscription for current options and route names.

How Routes Work

IEPL, Relay and Direct Connections

Route types describe how traffic reaches an exit; they do not certify app compatibility. The explanations below cover common network architectures. They are not a substitute for testing a specific route and do not mean that the entire transmission path is dedicated to one user.

IEPL

Dedicated Transit Segment

For a more consistent cross-border path

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line, using a dedicated transport link to connect network nodes in different regions. In a route service, it may carry traffic between an entry point and an overseas node, before the exit connects to the destination website. This describes one segment of the path; it does not mean every connection from your device to the destination uses a dedicated line.

This setup can suit activities that need a sustained connection, such as extended work sessions, video calls or long streaming sessions. Dedicated transit can reduce reliance on changes to some public routes, but your local Wi-Fi, access provider and destination website still affect performance. If you experience buffering, check your local network too; the IEPL label alone does not rule out other causes.

Dedicated transit typically involves costs for line rental, entry access and exit resources; the details depend on the region and resource arrangement. This technical comparison does not imply an extra charge. See the plans page and user dashboard for actual pricing and availability.

Relay

Separate Entry and Exit Segments

For the access segment and forwarding path

A relay route connects to an intermediate node first, which then forwards traffic to the destination exit. The entry and exit regions may differ, so the exit city shown in your client does not reveal every location along the route. Relaying separates the entry point from the exit, allowing more flexibility in how the path is arranged.

Relay routes can be considered for everyday browsing, work or access to services in a specific region. An extra forwarding hop does not necessarily mean a worse experience; an entry point better suited to your local network may perform better than a direct connection to a distant node. Conversely, a busy relay segment can cause delays, so compare routes using real tasks.

Relay routes typically involve entry, forwarding network and exit resources. More complex routing may also require more maintenance. A relay is not simply a cheaper version of a dedicated line, and the name alone does not indicate which route is better. Compare routes on the same device and local network to see which works best for your target app.

Direct

Direct Connection to a Remote Node

For the international route used by your local provider

A direct connection generally means the client connects to a remote service node over the public internet, without an additional configured relay entry point. “Direct” describes the network architecture; it does not mean the physical path is shortest or that there are no carrier routers or switches along the way.

When the public route from your local network to the destination region works well, a direct connection can suit browsing, research and access to services in a specific region. It is more sensitive to your provider's international routing, so routes in the same city may perform differently across networks. Geographic distance is only a reference; test loading, playback and session stability in the app itself.

A direct connection typically avoids the resource arrangements of an extra relay layer, but costs can still vary by exit data center, network interconnection and region. That does not mean a particular route is necessarily cheaper. Start with the target service's region requirements, then check how the connection performs; fewer hops do not automatically mean a better fit for every use.

Choose by Use Case

Choose an Exit Region for the Task

Start by defining what you need to do, then choose a route. Loading webpages, streaming continuously, sending AI requests and keeping a video call connected all place different demands on a network. A single connection check cannot tell you how everything will perform.

Everyday Browsing: Prioritize a Smooth Connection

If a website has no specific region requirement, start with an Asia-Pacific exit that connects well to your local network. Open several familiar pages and check whether images, login redirects and embedded resources load fully. If the homepage appears but images keep loading, the cause could be routing rules, DNS resolution or the website's resource distribution; don't assume the whole route is unusable.

Once you find a route that works, keep it as an everyday option and save alternatives of different types. If one website has a problem, check whether other sites work before switching routes to compare. When only one service fails, first check its status and your client rules to avoid unnecessary switching.

Streaming: Match the Region Before Checking Quality

First confirm the region for the content library and your account, then choose the corresponding exit. Opening the site, signing in and playing content are separate checks. Some platforms also use account details and exit detection to determine what content is available, so a matching region name does not guarantee that a library or specific title will always be accessible.

Once playback starts, check buffering, seeking and sustained playback—not just whether the video thumbnail loads. High-resolution video also depends on your local network, device decoding and platform subscription. Keep the account and quality settings unchanged while comparing routes. Always verify streaming access on the target platform.

AI Tools: Check Region and Session Stability

Before using AI tools such as ChatGPT, check the service's current supported regions and account rules. A route provides network connectivity; it does not replace account eligibility, paid features or permission to use the platform. If you see a region notice, check the actual exit and routing settings rather than repeatedly switching accounts or resending requests.

In a supported region, choose a route that handles your real workflow: open the service, submit a request, wait for the full response, then test file uploads or other features you use. For longer tasks, check that the session stays connected. Try to keep the same exit throughout your work, especially during sign-in verification and active tasks, to avoid frequent network changes.

Gaming: Choose by Server Region and Client Compatibility

First identify the game's server region, then check that your client can route the game's traffic correctly. Successful access in a browser does not prove that the game process uses the same route. Games may use different networking methods, operating systems and client modes, so check the in-game connection status and your actual session.

Keep the game operator's network and regional rules in mind. International routes are not a service optimized for a specific game, and improvements are not guaranteed for every game. Avoid background downloads and system updates while testing. If a session drops, check your local network, client settings and game server status separately before trying another route.

Work: Keep a Suitable Exit and Minimize Network Changes

Remote work often involves documents, meetings, code repositories and company sign-in, and different apps may use different routing rules. Follow your organization's access policies to determine which connection methods are allowed. For internal company networks, follow your administrator's instructions. Don't change the network mode for your entire device just to get one app working without checking first.

During testing, complete your usual tasks in sequence and check sign-in, file sync and meeting audio and video. YiYiVPN supports unlimited devices, but devices sharing a local network can still affect one another. If your computer works but another device doesn't, check each device's client and system permissions separately. Once the connection is working, keep the verified settings for next time.

Before Switching Routes, Keep the Comparison Fair

Route comparisons need repeatable conditions. Change only the route while keeping the device, local network and target app the same; this makes it easier to identify the cause than changing the network, client mode and exit all at once. Note the exit city, route type, affected app and task you were doing. There's no need to record subscription links or other sensitive information.

If no apps can connect, check your local network first, then confirm that the subscription updated successfully, your plan is active and the client is using the right mode. If only one app fails, focus on routing rules, the target platform's status and its regional requirements. Don't mistake an account error for a network issue, or treat a route name as proof of the actual exit.

Route names and available options may change after a subscription update. Before choosing again, check the region and route type; an old favorite may now point to a different option. Use subscription links only on trusted devices and in trusted clients, and don't post them in public forums. If you need help, describe the issue through the user dashboard and redact sensitive details in screenshots.

Route performance is only one part of planning your data use. Streaming, file sync and everyday browsing consume different amounts, so choose a monthly subscription or data package based on your actual usage. Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. Data packages remain valid indefinitely until used. See the plans page for pricing and billing details.

Frequently Asked Questions About Choosing a Route

Is a closer city always better for your connection?

Not necessarily. Geographic distance is only one factor; carrier routing, entry and exit paths, your local network and the destination service all affect performance. Compare routes using the same conditions and real tasks instead of ranking them by distance.

Will choosing the same country always give me the same streaming content?

You can't tell from the country name alone. Platforms may also consider your account region, exit detection and content licensing. Check the platform's rules first, then test whether the content plays. Always verify availability on the target platform.

Where can I see all available routes?

Sign in to the user dashboard to view your subscription details, then update the subscription in your client. This page is only a static directory preview; current routes, names and types are shown in the dashboard and client.

Can different devices use different exit locations?

YiYiVPN supports unlimited devices. You can choose routes separately in each device's client, but check each device's system settings and the target service's rules. For ongoing work with the same account, try to keep a stable network environment suited to that service.

What account and refund details should I know before using the service?

No email address is required; sign up with a username and password. YiYiVPN offers a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy. See the Refund Policy for application rules. Review plan, data and payment details together on the Plans and Pricing page.
