ROUTE ARCHITECTURE

How route types affect connections

IEPL, relay and direct routes describe how traffic is organized as it travels from your local network to the destination region. They are not a simple ranking: the best option can vary with the entry network, destination city and time of use.

IEPL

IEPL

IEPL routes typically use a more defined transmission path across regions, minimizing sections prone to fluctuation on the public network. For video meetings, continuous transfers, remote work and web apps that require stable sessions, they prioritize path consistency rather than a peak result from a single test.

Dedicated route resources generally cost more to schedule and maintain than ordinary paths, so they are best reserved for stability-first tasks. For a quick lookup or lightweight webpage, there is no need to use IEPL every time; keeping it for long connections, file synchronization and important meetings usually makes better use of the available resources.

For continuous connections For remote work Path consistency first
RELAY

Relay routes

Relay routes send the connection to a selected entry point first, then forward it through an intermediate link to the destination region. This can avoid an underperforming cross-border path on your current network and provide a more suitable exit for the region and carrier. For everyday browsing, streaming and AI tools, relay routes often balance coverage and connection stability well.

More relays do not automatically mean a better path. An effective relay should reduce uncontrollable segments rather than add hops without purpose. Focus on whether the destination service opens reliably, sessions remain continuous and performance stays consistent after changing networks—not just on the route name.

For mixed use Flexible region choice Easy exit switching
DIRECT

Direct routes

Direct routes connect from your current network straight to a server in the destination region, with fewer routing steps and a simpler structure. Where the local network has a strong international exit, direct routes can provide an efficient access path and make it easier to compare real network performance across regions.

Direct routes are more sensitive to changes in local carrier routing. The same city can produce different results on different access networks or at different times, so one connection should not be treated as a long-term conclusion. If pages load slowly, connections repeat or app sessions break up, try a relay route in the same region and compare the destination service’s full loading process.

Simple path structure For lightweight access Easy side-by-side testing

COST DIFFERENCE

Cost differences come from how paths are organized

IEPL requires clearly allocated network resources and ongoing maintenance; relay routes require coordination between entry, forwarding and exit points; direct routes are simpler but depend more on current public-network conditions. Plans are not billed per individual route. Monthly subscriptions start at ¥9.9/month with 60GB; see the Plans page for complete options. Choose based on your use case first, then decide whether you need a more stable path instead of judging by the route name alone.

SELECTION GUIDE

Choose international routes by use case

The goal is not to find one city to use permanently, but to find the right region and path for the task at hand. The methods below do not rely on momentary test figures and are better suited to everyday conditions.

BROWSE

Everyday browsing

For international websites, research or web dashboards, start with a nearby APAC route. Check whether pages, images and scripts load completely and continuously before deciding whether to switch. Everyday browsing usually has less demanding region requirements than content platforms, so the choice is broader.

If the same page pauses occasionally on a direct route, try a relay route in the same region. This keeps the destination environment similar while letting you compare path performance. Switching regions frequently can trigger extra sign-in checks on some accounts, so keeping the region relatively consistent while working is safer.

MEDIA

Streaming

For streaming, choose a route based on the content region first, then check whether the platform recognizes it correctly. Opening the home page does not guarantee stable playback; also verify search, details, subtitles and playback. “Supported” in the table is for initial filtering only—when platform rules change, rely on the actual page result.

Avoid switching between multiple countries or regions during playback. If the content region is correct but loading is inconsistent, try another route type in the same region, comparing relay and IEPL first. If the region is not recognized correctly, return to the directory and choose another city associated with the target content.

AI

AI Tools

AI tools often involve sign-in, long responses, file uploads and persistent sessions, making connection continuity more important than simply opening a webpage. Choose a region supported by the service and keep the exit location relatively stable after signing in. Tokyo, Singapore and Los Angeles are useful starting points; adjust based on the account region and actual access results.

If the sign-in page opens but generation is frequently interrupted, try a relay or IEPL route in the same region before changing countries repeatedly. Keeping the region consistent helps reduce changes to the session environment. After switching, reload the service page so subsequent requests are established over the new route.

GAME

Gaming

For gaming, start with the game server region rather than the publisher’s website location. For Asian servers, compare Tokyo, Seoul and Singapore first; for North American servers, begin with cities on the West Coast. Once connected, check whether input response remains consistent, voice chat is stable and repeated reconnections occur during a match.

Game updates and live play can call for different choices: updates depend more on sustained transfer, while gameplay depends more on interaction stability. If the client supports per-app settings, route only the target app through the subscription and avoid having other background tasks compete for the same path.

WORK

Work and collaboration

Remote work may involve video meetings, document collaboration, code repositories and file synchronization at the same time. Prefer a route near the region of your team’s services with a stable connection process. Complete sign-in and audio/video checks before an important meeting; do not switch regions mid-meeting.

Business systems may verify sign-ins by exit region. Consistently using a city that matches your work region helps maintain a predictable access environment. For long uploads, synchronization or remote desktops, compare IEPL and relay routes first; for lightweight email and web approvals, start with a nearby region.

PRACTICAL METHOD

Route selection methods and common checks

The route directory provides a set of candidates, but the final choice should reflect the real task. Instead of chasing short-term figures, compare routes using the same device, access network and destination service in a repeatable session.

Destination region

Identify the region the service requires first

For streaming, check the content region; for work, the team system’s location; for gaming, the server shard; and for AI tools, the service’s supported regions. Once the destination is clear, choose among cities in that region to reduce unnecessary cross-region attempts.

Nearby paths

Start by comparing nearby cities

Distance is not the only criterion, but it works well for initial filtering. Start with a nearby region, then compare direct, relay and IEPL routes during the complete task. If the service requires a specific region, prioritize that target instead of forcing a choice based on proximity.

Complete workflow

Do not test only whether the home page opens

Complete real steps such as signing in, searching, loading content, transferring files or maintaining a session. A home page opening only shows that a basic connection was established; a route is suitable for a use case only when the full task completes continuously.

Consistent use

Reduce unnecessary switching after choosing

Frequently changing exit regions can interrupt existing connections and cause websites to recheck sign-in status. Once you find a route that meets the current task, keep it for a complete usage session; switch paths within the same region only when a clear problem appears.

OPERATIONS NOTES

Using server locations: important notes

How does the client directory differ from the web directory?

This page explains coverage, regional groupings and route types to help you choose before connecting. The client subscription obtained after signing in is the actual connection entry point and includes the routes available to your account. Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux users obtain client or subscription information through the user panel; this static site does not provide installers or subscription URLs.

Why are different route types available in the same region?

Network paths are shaped by the access carrier, regional exit, destination service location and time of use. A Tokyo or Los Angeles location can use different path arrangements with direct, relay or IEPL routing. Offering multiple types makes it possible to compare connection options while keeping the destination region unchanged, rather than sending every task through one route.

How can I confirm that a route switch has taken effect?

Disconnect the original connection, select a new route and connect again. Then reload the destination webpage or restart the app being tested so the old session does not continue using the previous connection. If the app has its own proxy settings, confirm whether they follow the system network. Visit the IP Check page on this site to view the current exit information, then return to the destination service for a functional check.

How should accounts and devices be arranged?

VPNFB supports unlimited devices, making it suitable for configuring one subscription across your regularly used devices. With more devices, use recognizable configuration names and keep clear region choices for work, streaming and mobile devices. No email address is required to create an account; a username and password are sufficient, so store your login details securely.

Troubleshooting order for connection problems

First confirm that your local network can access familiar websites normally, then disconnect and reconnect the current route. If the issue remains, switch to another route type in the same region and compare with the destination service and device unchanged. Next check the system time, client configuration and the target app’s network permissions. Only consider a nearby city after all same-region options prove unsuitable. This order reduces variables and makes it easier to identify whether the issue comes from the local network, route path or destination service.
