Global server locations

For everyday access to international websites, start with nearby APAC routes. Web browsing uses many short connections across images, scripts and APIs, so a stable nearby entry point is often more practical than a distant exit. Try Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong or Seoul first, then switch based on the website’s region.

If a page opens but images or interactive content fail to load fully, compare transit and IEPL dedicated lines in the same region instead of immediately switching to a more distant country. Browsing also works well with rule mode: send requests that need international routes through subscribed routes while keeping other traffic local to reduce unnecessary path changes.

Streaming depends first on the exit region recognized by the content platform, and only then on transport continuity. Choose the country where the target content is available, then start with routes marked “Supported” in the table. For Asian content, try Tokyo or Singapore; for North American content, check Los Angeles, San Jose or New York; for European content, start with London, Frankfurt or Paris.

After switching routes, fully close the existing playback page or app and reopen the content catalog so the old session does not retain its previous region data. If the catalog is correct but playback buffers frequently, switch from direct to transit or an IEPL dedicated line within the same region. This keeps the exit region consistent while helping determine whether the issue is content detection or the transport path.

AI chats, code completion and API calls often involve persistent sessions, streamed responses and concurrent requests. Compared with simply opening a webpage, these tasks depend more on connection continuity and a stable exit throughout the same work session. Prefer an IEPL dedicated line or transit route in the same region, and avoid switching countries frequently during work.

If the web app allows login but stops responding midway, keep the target region unchanged and switch only the route type. If command-line calls time out, also check whether local proxy rules cover the terminal process. Browser extensions, desktop clients and developer tools may use different network settings, so a working browser page does not prove that every application is using the same route.

Gaming is an interaction-heavy use case where server region and path stability matter more than choosing the most distant exit country. Confirm whether the game server is in Asia, North America or Europe, then choose an entry point in or near that region. For Asian servers, compare Tokyo, Seoul and Singapore first; for North American servers, start with cities in the western United States.

Different games may use separate launchers, update services and match servers, which may not be in the same region. Normal update performance does not guarantee the same match path. If a connection problem occurs, close the game process, switch routes and restart so the new session uses the target exit from the beginning; avoid switching nodes during a match.

Remote work often involves video meetings, document collaboration, code repositories, enterprise consoles and large-file synchronization at the same time. Choose an exit based on the region of the main business systems, and prioritize an IEPL dedicated line or stable transit route. Once the work session is established, keep the route unchanged where possible to avoid rechecking login status, access policies or upload tasks after an exit change.

For work environments that access services in multiple regions, use rule mode to split traffic by domain or application instead of sending every request through one remote exit. When video meetings and file synchronization run together, pause nonessential large transfers first to determine whether the issue comes from route selection, local network contention or the application’s own connection settings.
