Route list

VPNMK route coverage and node list

Routes are the core asset of any cross-border acceleration service. This page breaks the 120+ countries and 240+ routes down by region, marks each route's type and streaming tier, then explains which situations IEPL dedicated, relay and direct routes each suit. By the end you can judge for yourself which region and which route type to pick — and why a single headline number deserves some skepticism.

Regional groups

Browse routes by region

The table below groups routes into four regions — Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and other — and lists some of the most-used routes in each. Every row gives the country or region, exit city, route type and streaming tier; the full list expands by region inside the client and updates whenever routes change.

Note: the table lists a selection of routes to show how the route types are distributed; it is not the full 240+ routes. The page deliberately omits latency in milliseconds, load percentages and live user counts — those numbers shift with city, carrier and time of day, and hard-coding them here would only mislead. To judge whether a route suits you, start with its type and exit city, then confirm with real-world experience on your own device.

Route types

Route types explained: IEPL dedicated, relay and direct

Two routes both labelled “Japan” or “United States” can differ more from each other — dedicated versus direct — than two routes in different countries. The three types are not a ranking from good to bad; they differ in path, cost and best use: dedicated buys stability, relay buys balance, direct buys coverage and price.

IEPL Cost · High

IEPL dedicated

End to end, traffic rides the carrier's international Ethernet private line, taking a fixed path from entry to exit instead of the congested public internet. The path is stable and jitter is low — the closest thing to a private channel among the three types — at the cost of the highest unit price and the fewest cities available.

Best for
4K streaming, long video calls, cross-border work
Cities covered
Mainly hub cities: Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Frankfurt
Relay Cost · Medium

Relay routes

You connect first to the nearest entry node, which forwards traffic on to the target exit. The entry leg runs over optimized links and the exit leg uses a local data-centre uplink; the path has one more hop than a dedicated line but covers far more cities, which makes it the default choice for most situations.

Best for
Everyday browsing, AI tools, streaming, logins that need a fixed exit
Cities covered
Regional hubs are almost all covered — this is the largest group by route count
Direct Cost · Low

Direct routes

The client connects straight to the exit data centre — fewest hops, shortest path. Overhead is low and coverage is wide, with long-tail countries and regions mostly served by direct routes; the trade-off is that peak-hour congestion on the public internet shows up more clearly, so be careful with jitter-sensitive tasks.

Best for
Research, light browsing, one-off needs for an exit in a specific region
Cities covered
Widest coverage — obscure regions usually have direct routes only
Route picks

Which route to pick by use case

Route type sets the floor; exit city sets the ceiling. Choosing by use case works better than choosing by which country has the most nodes — within one country, the gap between a dedicated and a direct route is often bigger than the gap between two countries.

Use case First choice Alternative Why
Everyday browsingRelayDirectWeb and email don't mind jitter; a nearby entry is enough
StreamingIEPL dedicatedRelayHigh-bitrate playback needs sustained bandwidth; a dedicated path stays fixed
AI toolsRelayIEPL dedicatedA stable exit means fewer repeated account checks
GamingIEPL dedicated (nearest)DirectShort round trip, less jitter
Cross-border work / online bankingIEPL dedicatedRelayFixed exit, connection stays up

Everyday browsing: prefer a relay route whose entry is close to you. Web pages, email and documents don't mind momentary jitter but do care about the first response, so a nearby entry means a faster handshake and snappier page turns. Only accept peak-hour swings when a region offers direct routes alone and you need the coverage.

Streaming: high-bitrate playback needs sustained bandwidth, not peak speed — a single congested public hop anywhere on the path shows up as buffering. An IEPL dedicated route has a fixed path and is the first choice for video; where no dedicated route exists, fall back to relay and pick an exit city in a hub where streaming data centres cluster, so traffic takes fewer detours.

AI tools: AI services are more sensitive to a stable exit IP than to raw speed. Signing in to the same account from several countries in a short window tends to trigger re-verification or even a temporary block. Pick one relay route and stay on it instead of switching by hand; if you must change, leave a decent gap before you do.

Gaming: games care about round-trip time and jitter, not download speed. The nearest IEPL dedicated route has the shortest path, followed by a direct route in the same city; intercontinental routes stay slow on round trip even with plenty of bandwidth, so they don't suit matches where reaction delay matters.

Cross-border work and online banking: these are the cases where a mid-session drop hurts most. A fixed exit and an uninterrupted connection matter more than speed, so prefer IEPL dedicated, then relay; don't switch routes in the middle of work or a transfer, because a changed exit makes some sites ask you to verify again.

How to read the table

How to read this route table

A route table can only tell you so much, but read in order it is enough to choose: region first, then type, then city. The five points below turn the table into a decision.

  • 01

    Start with the region

    Work out which region your everyday services sit in, then pick routes inside it. Cross-region routes lengthen round-trip time even when bandwidth is plentiful.

  • 02

    Then the type

    Orange for IEPL, purple for relay, yellow for direct — the colors are categories, not grades. Dedicated buys stability, relay buys balance, direct buys coverage.

  • 03

    Finally the city

    When a country has several cities, pick the one closer to your target service's data centre. Getting the city right beats switching routes within the same city.

  • 04

    Read the streaming column

    “4K playback” is tuned for high-bitrate video, “Supported” suits regular resolutions, and “Basic” is a general-purpose exit for web and social apps.

  • 05

    Don't judge by country count

    120+ countries is coverage, not a promise that every country has a dedicated route. Coverage comes from direct routes; stability comes from dedicated and relay routes.

Tip: the route list changes as data centres and carriers change, and the client always holds the latest copy. The table here is for understanding how route types are distributed, not for memorizing line by line; what's worth remembering is the pairing of use case to route type.
FAQ

Common questions about routes

Five frequent questions about choosing routes, how the types differ and using a subscription — all answered from the same set of facts.

With so many routes, how do I quickly tell which one suits me?

Narrow it down by use case: region first, then type, then a city of that type closer to your target service. Relay for everyday browsing, dedicated for streaming, direct when you only need an exit in a given region. Three steps usually leave two or three candidates.

Why does the same city show up with two route types?

A city can have both a direct data-centre exit and a relay path through an entry node; the two run over different links, with different cost and stability. They are listed on separate rows so the difference is visible, not to double-count.

Does “Basic” in the streaming column mean it won't work?

“Basic” means the route is a general-purpose exit suited to web, social apps and video at regular resolution, without optimization for high-bitrate playback. For 4K, pick a dedicated route marked “4K playback” first, then a relay route marked “Supported”.

Do I need to pick routes again on a new device?

Devices are unlimited: one account works on Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux at the same time. Pick a route once on each device the first time you use it, then keep whatever suits your habits; different devices can use different routes without affecting each other.

Does the route list change?

Yes. Changes to data centres, carriers and routing policy all affect routes, and the client always holds the latest list. The regional grouping and type labels on this page stay stable so you can compare over time; subscriptions are billed monthly and traffic resets each month on your activation date.
