100+ countries / 190+ routes
Route options by region
Choose a region first, then compare route types.
VPNBasic offers international routes across multiple regions. Browsing, streaming, using AI tools, and working remotely can each have different requirements for exit locations and connection stability. This page explains example regions, how route types work, and how to choose based on your needs—not just the route name.

About this list
The table below shows example combinations of regions, cities, and route types. It is not a list of currently available servers, and it does not mean every listed city offers every route type. Check the user dashboard and subscription details after logging in for current routes, names, and updates. Streaming support is not listed in advance; verify it with the platform, account region, and connection you plan to use.
Example routes by region
Grouped by Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and other regions. The country column identifies the exit region, while the city provides geographic context; neither guarantees a particular connection experience. On narrow screens, swipe horizontally within the table to see all columns.
The same city does not necessarily mean the same entry point, network path, or exit network. When comparing routes, check the full route name and type in the dashboard rather than assuming different paths are equivalent.
Route types explained
Direct, relayed, and IEPL routes describe how a connection is routed; they are not a fixed ranking from slowest to fastest. Your local network, time of day, and the destination service's location all affect the experience.
Dedicated transport
IEPL route
Worth considering when connection stability is a priority
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line that uses dedicated transport resources to connect different locations. In a subscription service, a private line may carry part of the route between the entry point and the exit. The connection from your device to the entry point, and from the exit to the destination website, is still affected by the networks involved. The presence of an IEPL label does not mean the entire connection uses dedicated resources.
This type of route can reduce uncertainty caused by congestion on some public network segments, making it worth comparing for video calls, sustained transfers, and longer sessions. Dedicated resources usually cost more to procure and maintain, but a higher cost does not guarantee faster access every time. Test whether your tasks complete reliably during the times you normally use the service, rather than judging only by how quickly a webpage first loads. This page does not infer a plan surcharge or extra fee; check the dashboard for available options.
Entry-point relay
Relayed route
Useful for comparing local access with international routes
A relayed route sends your connection to an entry point first, which then forwards it to the exit. This adds a forwarding step, but may use a more suitable peering path and improve the experience compared with connecting directly from your local network to the exit. More steps do not automatically mean a slower connection; what matters is whether each segment is a good fit and whether the relay nodes are congested.
Relayed routes are worth considering for everyday browsing, cloud tools, and streaming. Costs typically involve entry-point resources, cross-region transport, and exit maintenance, so the node's location alone is not enough to judge a route. If the connection works during the day but repeatedly stalls at your usual usage time, keep the destination region fixed and compare another entry point or route type. This makes it easier to tell whether the issue is the region or the path, instead of changing countries repeatedly and losing a useful basis for comparison.
Direct connection to the exit
Direct route
A good fit when local peering is favorable
A direct route typically connects the client straight to the exit endpoint, without an additional relay on the service side. The setup is relatively simple, but the actual path still depends on network routing and peering; a straight line on a map is not the route your data takes. When peering between your local network and the exit is favorable, a direct route can be a straightforward, convenient choice.
Direct routes typically avoid the cost of arranging relay resources, but are more exposed to changes in public network paths. If the same route performs differently across access networks, compare wired and wireless connections first, then test a relayed option. Do not treat “direct” as a fixed speed tier, or assume a failed connection is necessarily caused by the protocol. Include exit maintenance, client settings, and the destination service's own status in your troubleshooting.
Route type describes the path a connection takes; a protocol describes how the connection is established and transmitted. For a closer look at protocol trade-offs, see Routes and protocols.
Choose a route for your needs
Keep the destination service and access network fixed before changing the region or route type. Change one factor at a time to get meaningful results. Connecting successfully is the start of testing, not the whole conclusion.
Browsing
Everyday browsing and research
If you have no specific region requirement, start with a nearby exit you use regularly. Open your usual websites and check that text, images, and attachments all load, then browse several pages in a row. If the homepage loads but images remain blank, the issue may involve routing rules for resource domains; it does not necessarily mean the entire region is unavailable.
If only one website has problems, first check whether other sites work, then review the client's proxy mode and rules. Switching regions often can affect search results and trigger additional sign-in checks. Once you find a suitable route, keep it as your usual option and note an alternative. That's more convenient than switching at random every time.
Streaming
Streaming on Netflix and other services
First check which region the content is available in and whether your account is eligible to watch it, then choose the corresponding exit. Catalogs, licensing, and how platforms identify exit addresses can change. This page therefore does not label any country or route as consistently available, and an IEPL route label does not guarantee streaming support.
When testing, go beyond opening the catalog: try playback, seeking, switching titles, and watching continuously. If you can sign in but cannot play a title, distinguish between account eligibility, content region, and exit recognition. If playback stalls, also check your local Wi-Fi and transfer activity on other devices. After changing routes, reopen the app to avoid misleading results from an old session.
AI tools
Claude, Cursor, and cloud development
AI tools may be accessed through a website, desktop client, command line, or other interfaces. Choose a region according to the service's supported locations and account rules. A website loading successfully does not prove that your editor and terminal use the same proxy; check the connection settings for each program separately.
When choosing a route, focus on whether long responses, file uploads, and ongoing sessions work reliably—not just how quickly the login page appears. Sticking with a usual exit can reduce changes to your session environment, but it does not change account eligibility or platform policies. If an error occurs, save the app's message and compare with another route in the same region. For protocol and split-tunneling details, see AI tool access guide.
Gaming
Game connections and voice chat
For gaming, prioritize the region where the game server is located rather than simply choosing the nearest exit. Downloads, login checks, matches, and voice chat may use different connection methods. A general subscription route is not a dedicated product optimized for every game, and normal web browsing alone does not indicate how a match will perform.
First check that the client, protocol, and game support the required connection method, then make sure the rules cover the relevant program. If performance is unstable, compare your local access network and route path, but avoid switching exits mid-match. Account region, game terms of service, and session continuity also matter; changing routes will not solve every game connection issue.
Work
Remote meetings and file collaboration
For work, test the complete workflow: whether meetings stay connected, shared documents save, file uploads finish, and company sign-in works. If your organization's systems specify access regions or exit addresses, follow its requirements. Do not treat a standard subscription route as a fixed exit or a promise of enterprise-dedicated access.
Before a meeting, test audio, video, and screen sharing on the same network you plan to use, and avoid running large transfers at the same time. VPNBasic supports unlimited devices, but device count and total traffic demand are different things; multiple devices sharing a network can still affect one another. Keep the route stable during important work, save your work before switching, and have a backup connection that meets your organization's requirements.
Connection checks and adjustments
Check local access, the route, and the destination service separately to avoid unnecessary switching. A record of what happened is more useful for troubleshooting than simply saying “it doesn't work.”
Check your local setup first
Check that your device is online, the client is running, and your subscription is up to date. If other proxy or network tools are running on your system, check for conflicting settings. Peering paths can differ across access networks; do not generalize a result from one setup to an entire region.
Then run a like-for-like route test
Keep the device, destination website, and task the same. Compare different paths in the same region first, then decide whether to change regions. Check whether the task completes, the connection drops repeatedly, or the app reports an error. A route name or a connected button alone cannot confirm that access is working as expected.
Keep the details of the issue
If you need help, submit a support ticket through the user dashboard. Include the platform, client, route name, time of the issue, and what you were doing. Before attaching screenshots, hide account details and subscription information; do not share your full subscription URL. Include the destination service's error message to help distinguish connection issues from account restrictions.
Choose routes and data plans separately
Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. When you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. Choose a region based on what you need to access, and a plan based on your data needs; the two are separate decisions. See the pricing page for full prices and billing details. Get the client and subscription from the user dashboard after logging in.
