REGIONS
Browse routes by region
3KVPN covers 120+ countries and 230+ routes. The guide below groups country and city references across Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and other regions to help you understand how exit locations relate to service regions. This is not a live route inventory, and listed cities may not always be available. Check the user dashboard after signing in for currently available cities, entry points and route names.
A country may have multiple cities, and a city may have multiple entry points. Country and region labels generally identify the exit location, but they don’t reveal how the full route travels through carrier networks. Route types aren’t inferred from geographic names, and streaming availability isn’t presented as a guarantee. Consider the service’s location requirements, account conditions and actual connection results together.
On smaller screens, scroll horizontally to view the table. Check the dashboard for route types and test the target service for streaming availability.

ROUTE TYPES
IEPL, Relay and Direct Routes
Route types describe how a connection is organized, not how well it performs. The entry point, international transit, exit and destination website can all affect your experience. The descriptions below explain common networking terms; they don’t mean 3KVPN offers every type in every city. Check the dashboard labels and service details to confirm the route used by a specific option.
IEPL: Focus on the Transit Segment
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line, using dedicated carrier-provided transport resources to connect different locations. Unlike routing that relies directly on the public internet, it focuses on managing the path and resources across the transit segment. The paths from your device to the entry point and from the exit to the destination service still need separate consideration. The term “private line” alone doesn’t verify the performance of the full connection.
These resources generally involve higher procurement and maintenance costs, so they may be worth evaluating for ongoing work, remote collaboration or long-lived connections. Higher cost doesn’t mean better performance on every network, nor does it prove that a route has dedicated resources. If the dashboard labels an option as a private line, check the details and test it during your usual hours. Don’t infer unverified performance claims from the label.
Relay Routes: Focus on the Entry Point
A relay route sends your connection to an intermediate entry point before continuing along the route to the exit. This entry point can change how traffic is routed between your local carrier and the international exit. As a result, routes with exits in the same city may perform differently if they use different entry points. An extra hop isn’t necessarily slower, and fewer hops don’t guarantee a more stable connection.
Relay setups typically coordinate entry-point resources, forwarding services and exit resources. Costs depend on procurement and operations across these segments, so route names alone don’t support a fixed ranking against private-line or direct routes. Evaluate relay routes based on actual results for browsing, video and work. Keep the target website and local network the same while comparing; check whether pages remain accessible and video plays without repeated buffering, rather than relying only on the client’s connection status.
Direct Routes: Focus on Your Local Network
A direct route generally means the client connects to a designated international entry point without an additional relay. Traffic still passes through local networks, carriers and public-network routing. “Direct” doesn’t mean the physical path is the shortest or that no other network equipment is involved. A nearby exit is only one geographic factor; carrier peering and current routing also matter.
Compared with setups that require additional relay resources, a direct route may involve fewer intermediate resources, but actual costs still depend on bandwidth procurement, location and maintenance. When your local international connection is suitable, consider it for browsing or occasional access. If performance changes significantly on a different local network, check the access environment first. Don’t treat “direct” as a fixed speed tier or infer support for a particular app.
SELECTION NOTES
Choose a route for your needs
Before choosing a route, clarify what you need it to do. Web browsing, continuous video playback, an AI coding assistant session and a remote meeting all have different network requirements. First identify options that meet the target service’s location requirements, then compare them on your own network. This usually produces more repeatable results than frequently switching countries.
Everyday browsing: Check that pages load fully
When reading, researching or accessing international websites, check that text, images, sign-in pages and file attachments all load correctly. A homepage opening doesn’t mean every resource is available; some sites load scripts or images from other domains. If you see text but images are missing, check client rules and DNS resolution before assuming the exit location is the problem.
If there’s no specific location requirement, start by comparing nearby options, then keep the route that performs reliably in practice. During testing, avoid changing your network, client mode and exit at the same time, or it will be hard to tell what made a difference. For issues limited to certain websites, follow the troubleshooting guide step by step.
Streaming: Consider region, account and playback
Streaming availability depends on platform policies, the account’s region, content licensing and how the exit is identified. Being able to open a platform’s homepage doesn’t mean your account can play a particular title; starting playback doesn’t guarantee it will continue without buffering. This guide doesn’t promise streaming support for specific cities, since test results can change.
Choose an exit that meets the content’s regional requirements, sign in to your account and test playback. Check whether playback stays smooth and the selected quality is maintained. If you see a location notice, first review your account conditions and the platform’s rules, then consider another eligible route. For more detailed guidance, see the streaming guide.
AI Tools: Check Service Regions and Session Stability
Access to tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor depends on more than your network. Account eligibility, service-region policies and client configuration must each meet the relevant requirements. A route can provide a network connection, but it doesn’t change your account permissions or override a third-party service’s location checks.
Check which regions the tool supports, then try to use the same exit consistently. Chat generation, code completion and file processing may rely on persistent connections, so test your actual workflow rather than just opening the sign-in page. If only one editor can’t connect, check whether it uses the system proxy and whether its command-line or background processes use the same network settings.
Gaming: Match the Game Server Region
A game’s lobby, account sign-in and match servers may use different addresses. First confirm the region of the server you’re connecting to, then observe responsiveness during play, reconnection prompts and disconnections. Results from a generic test page alone can’t represent the in-game experience.
Games vary in their network-path and client-mode requirements. 3KVPN’s coverage doesn’t mean every game is supported. After switching routes, reconnect to the game so the new session doesn’t keep using the old path. If sign-in works but you can’t join a match, note the error and server region, then troubleshoot the issue for that app.
Work: Keep Your Network Setup Consistent
For video calls, document collaboration and business systems, a consistent connection matters most. Check your organization’s access requirements, then choose a region that matches the business system’s requirements. Avoid switching exits frequently, especially during meetings, uploads or administrative tasks; a change of exit may require you to verify your session again.
3KVPN supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux, with unlimited devices. When using multiple devices, check that each client has an updated subscription and the correct mode selected. Unlimited devices don’t mean unlimited capacity on your local network; if several devices transfer large files at once, keep an eye on overall home or office network usage.
CONNECTION CHECK
Connection checklist
Check your account and subscription status in the dashboard, then update the subscription in your client and choose from the available routes. After connecting, open the service you use and verify that pages load, sign-in works and you can complete the task. A connected status in the client only confirms that the connection process reached a certain state; it doesn’t verify access to the target service.
When comparing routes, use the same device, local network and target service whenever possible. Test your usual route first, then switch to an alternative. If something goes wrong, note what you were doing, the client’s message and whether the issue can be reproduced. Performance may vary by time of day, so assess it during your usual hours rather than treating one test as a long-term result.
If none of your target websites load, first check that your local network is working, then review client permissions, rule mode and subscription updates. If only one service has an issue, check its account and location requirements first. If the same route works on another network, investigate your current access environment instead of repeatedly changing every setting.
For help, submit a request through the user dashboard with your operating system, client details, route name, when the issue occurred and steps you’ve already tried. Screenshots can help diagnose the issue, but hide passwords, subscription links and access credentials before sharing. Describe what can be reproduced; there’s no need to include unrelated personal information.
