Choose an exit region first, then compare route types.
Coverage spans 100+ countries and 220+ routes. The region determines your exit location, while the route type describes the connection path. Whether a route suits a particular app also depends on your account region, local network, and actual results.

Browse routes by region
The table below is a reference for understanding regions and route types, not a complete live list. It does not mean every route type is always available in every city. Check the client after logging in for current route names, types, and availability. Country and city names indicate the exit location; they do not identify the data center operator, IP attributes, or platform compatibility.
Streaming availability is listed as “Verify on platform” across the board. The same exit can produce different results on different platforms or accounts. Loading a home page does not mean a particular title will play, and playback does not guarantee access to a specific regional catalog. Open the content you want to watch in your own account and check playback continuity and picture quality.
Swipe horizontally to view the table on narrow screens. No entry shows speed tests, server load, or live bandwidth.

Route Types and Connection Paths
The region answers “where are you connecting from?” The type describes “how does the connection get there?” Route types are not speed rankings, and the same type can perform differently across access networks and at different times. The descriptions below explain how each path works and its typical cost structure. They are not performance guarantees for any route or evidence of unlisted plan benefits.
IEPL usually refers to an International Ethernet Private Line, which carries cross-border traffic between specified endpoints. Compared with routing entirely over the public internet, a private-line segment offers more control over path and resource planning. However, network conditions still matter between your device and the access point, and between the exit and the destination site. An IEPL route does not guarantee end-to-end performance. It may be worth comparing for long-lived connections, meetings, and sustained transfers. Private-line resources and maintenance typically cost more; this alone does not establish a plan premium or dedicated bandwidth.
A relay adds a forwarding hop between your device and the destination exit: traffic reaches an access node first, then continues along the next leg to the exit. This can help adjust routing when a direct path is suboptimal on certain networks, but the extra hop adds another factor that can affect the connection. Whether a relay is a good fit depends on the entire path, not the distance between nodes. It can be compared for everyday browsing, app access, and streaming. Costs typically include access, relay transit, and exit resources; actual differences depend on how the route is arranged.
Direct describes a client connecting straight to an exit node; it does not mean the data avoids other routing equipment in the physical network. The path is relatively straightforward, but public peering, ISP routing, and local access quality can have a greater effect on the experience. Fewer connection hops do not mean faster speeds at every moment. When the path from your location to the destination region is suitable, direct can be an option for browsing and work. Its cost structure is usually simpler, but exit, transit, and maintenance costs still apply. Route type alone does not determine price or quality.

Choose a route by use case
Everyday browsing: check that the whole page loads
For everyday browsing, start with a nearby region that is easy to identify in the client. Open sites you use regularly and check whether text, images, sign-in components, and attachments all load. If only the home page opens while sign-in or other resources fail, the route may not suit your needs. Avoid switching regions repeatedly just to chase a speed test result.
If a page does not load fully, first check whether the client’s rules include the site, then see whether your browser is still using an old connection. A site’s main page and its resources may use different domains, so testing in the app is more useful than relying on a “connected” indicator. Keep routes that work and compare alternatives only when you have a specific issue to investigate.
Streaming: check the region, account, and playback
First confirm which regions offer the title, then check your account benefits, device capabilities, and playback settings. The exit region is only one factor a platform may consider; account region, billing region, and platform detection can also affect access. The route list does not guarantee support for Netflix, Disney+, or any other platform. Platform policies and detection results can change.
Test by playing the title you want to watch. Check continuous playback, seeking, and picture-quality options rather than relying on the catalog page alone. High-resolution playback also depends on your device’s decoding capabilities, screen, browser, and plan benefits. If you can browse but playback fails, note the full error and consult the streaming guide. Not every playback issue is caused by the route.
AI tools: keep your exit region consistent
Services such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini each have their own regional, account, and usage policies. Check that the tool is available for your situation, then try a route in an appropriate region. A network connection can provide a path to the service, but it cannot replace account eligibility or guarantee that sign-in, verification, or every feature will work.
Once you find a suitable exit, try to keep the same connection for the duration of a task. Avoid switching regions while signing in, uploading files, or generating content. If the site opens but a conversation is interrupted, check the session, client rules, and file upload separately. Developer tools may use separate API domains; see the AI connectivity guide for checks.
Gaming: test the in-game connection
First identify the region of the game server you actually connect to, then consider the exit location. An exit near your device may not be near the game server. Smooth web browsing does not guarantee a suitable gaming connection, since sign-in, matchmaking, updates, and gameplay may use different routes or transport methods. Follow the game operator’s rules on permitted connection methods.
When testing, check sign-in, joining a match, and maintaining a session separately; do not test downloads alone. If the client supports per-app rules, confirm that the game process and its required components use the intended route. Switching routes during a match may interrupt your session, so choose before play starts. VPNRoll does not guarantee game outcomes, matchmaking region, or connection performance.
Work: prioritize session continuity
For remote work, focus on whether meetings, document syncing, code repositories, and business systems remain usable throughout the session. Follow your organization’s access policies first and confirm whether international routes are permitted or a specific region is required. Running a company connection alongside a client may cause routing or DNS conflicts. Do not combine them without understanding the applicable rules.
Before starting work, test real tasks such as meeting audio and video, file uploads, and permission checks. For systems that require long sessions, try to keep the exit consistent and have a verified backup route ready. VPNRoll allows unlimited devices online at the same time, but network conditions and rules can differ by device. A successful connection on one device does not verify the others.
After connecting: what to check
First confirm that the client has the latest subscription and that the intended route is selected, then open your target app. Check that the exit region matches your selection and that the app is covered by the active rules. If the exit has not changed, check per-app settings, browser proxy settings, and other network tools on your system instead of repeatedly switching countries. For installation and import instructions, start with the getting started guide.
When comparing routes, keep the device, access network, target content, and app settings consistent; change only the route. Different times of day, background downloads, and local Wi-Fi interference can make results hard to compare. Identify whether an issue comes from local access or the international path before changing route types. That is more useful than simply choosing a city that appears closer or farther away in the directory.
When something goes wrong, note the route name, service, client platform, time, and error message. “The site opens, but uploads keep failing” is more useful for troubleshooting than “It doesn’t work.” Before sharing a screenshot, hide your subscription URL, account details, and work content. Never post a full subscription link publicly. For further help, sign in to the user panel and open a support ticket.
Route FAQs
Why doesn’t the table list every route?
VPNRoll covers 100+ countries and 220+ routes. This page explains region categories and how to choose a route; it is not a complete live inventory. Check the client after logging in for available routes, names, and types. After maintenance or other changes, verify availability in the client as well.
Can I freely switch between routes in the same region?
The same region does not necessarily mean the same exit or path. Switching may require a new session, and platforms may identify the exit differently. For sign-in, uploads, or meetings, try to keep a connection you have already verified. Compare other routes after the task is complete.
Does an IEPL route always work with a particular streaming service?
No. IEPL describes the transmission path, not the exit IP’s attributes or streaming authorization. Access depends on the platform’s regional rules, your account benefits, and actual playback results. Platform support cannot be inferred from route type alone.
Where can I check plan details and refunds before choosing a route?
Monthly plans: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Monthly data resets on the activation date. Data packs last until used and never expire. VPNRoll offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund. See plan pricing for full details and the Terms of Service for refund rules.
Do I need a separate subscription for each device?
Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux are supported, with unlimited devices online at the same time. Get the client and subscription link from the user panel after logging in. Import steps and rule settings may vary by platform, so test the connection on each device.
