Browse the route directory by region

The table below organizes representative entry points across Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and other regions. The Streaming column indicates that routes suited to relevant applications are available in that region; it does not mean every piece of content uses the same access strategy at all times.

Choose an exit location that matches the region of your target service. If multiple route types are available in the same region, start with the default recommendation, then switch based on stability and response performance.

DIRECT / RELAY / IEPL

Understand the three route types

Route types describe how traffic is organized between the local entry point and the exit in the target region. The name alone does not determine speed; consider path length, carrier interconnection, congestion, and the target application together.

R-A Path controlled

IEPL

ENTRY · PRIVATE PATH · EXIT

IEPL routes emphasize how the path is organized across the entry point and international segment. Compared with paths that rely entirely on the public internet to select routes automatically, this structure generally makes cross-border path changes easier to control. It suits tasks that are sensitive to continuous connectivity, video calls, remote desktops, and long-running transfers.

These routes typically cost more to build and maintain than ordinary direct or relay routes, making them a stronger choice for critical tasks or complex network environments. That does not mean every target service should always use the same route; the exit region must still match the application’s location.

R-B Optimized entry

Relay routes

ENTRY · RELAY · EXIT

A relay route first sends the connection to a selected entry point, then uses an intermediate link to reach the exit in the target region. Its value is not simply adding another hop, but avoiding poorly performing interconnections between the local network and the remote exit, allowing the entry and international segments to use more suitable connection methods.

Relay routes suit everyday browsing, streaming, AI tools, and general office work, and are a balanced option to try first in many cases. Their cost and degree of path control typically fall between direct and IEPL routes. For distant target regions, judge suitability by actual application response and sustained connection performance.

R-C Direct path

Direct routes

LOCAL NETWORK · EXIT

A direct route connects the current network to the exit in the target region without an additional relay layer. Its structure is simple. When the local carrier interconnects well with the exit network, it can provide a straightforward connection and make it easier to determine whether an issue originates locally or at the remote exit.

Direct routes depend more heavily on the current network environment, so results can vary by access network, region, and time of day. Their maintenance structure is generally simpler than that of dedicated routes, making them suitable for ordinary web access, backup connections, and nearby target regions. If instability persists, compare a relay route in the same region.

LOCATION FIRST

Choose a route by target and entry point

Choosing a route is not about clicking randomly through the full directory. Identify the target service location and current access network first, then make a focused comparison among routes in the same region to reach a stable result faster.

S-A

Determine the target region first

When accessing regional content, international websites, or online services, the exit region should match the target region first. For content in Japan, start with Japanese routes; for services offered in the United States, compare West Coast and East Coast entry points first. Do not use one region for every application simply because it is close to your current location.

If the application has no specific regional requirement, start with a geographically closer entry point with a shorter path. This reduces unnecessary cross-region detours and makes it easier to identify whether later issues come from local access, the route path, or the target service.
S-B

Then compare types within the region

Once the target region is set, compare direct, relay, and IEPL routes within that region. If direct access is stable, keep using it. If connection setup is slow, sustained transfers fluctuate, or results differ noticeably across applications, try a relay route in the same region; for critical work tasks, prioritize testing the IEPL structure.

Keep the device, access network, and target application unchanged during comparison. Adjust only the route once at a time; otherwise, changing the device, network, and application together makes the source of any improvement impossible to identify. The goal is a repeatable connection, not a brief peak.
S-C

Keep a backup entry point

For frequently used regions, keep backup routes of different types. Use the primary route for everyday connections and the backup when the local network changes, the target application adjusts its access strategy, or a long task is about to begin. Ideally, keep the backup in the same target region so switching does not also change the content region.

04VPN supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux with unlimited devices. Different devices can use routes suited to their current network; there is no need to keep every endpoint on the same entry point.

USE CASE ROUTING

Match routes to your use case

The right evaluation criteria vary by task. Web access prioritizes responsiveness, streaming prioritizes sustained transfer, office work prioritizes session continuity, and gaming is more sensitive to path fluctuations.

U-A

Everyday browsing

For browsing international websites, researching information, and handling light online tasks, start with a nearby relay or direct route. Check whether pages open smoothly, login sessions remain stable, and switching between sites stays seamless. These tasks usually do not require frequent region changes, so keeping one stable entry point makes sessions easier to maintain.

PRIORITY · NEARBY REGION / STABLE SESSION

U-B

Streaming

Choose the country or region that matches the content area first, then use an entry point marked as suitable for application-based selection in the table. Successfully opening a page only confirms initial access; continue playback and seek through the video to check quality changes and uninterrupted viewing. If the service opens but the content region is wrong, verify the exit region before changing clients.

PRIORITY · CONTENT REGION / CONTINUOUS TRANSFER

U-C

AI tools

AI tools often combine web sessions, continuous output, file uploads, and multiple API requests. Prefer a relay or IEPL route in a region supported by the target service, and keep the exit region stable. Once a long conversation or file task begins, avoid frequent region changes, which may trigger a session refresh or another login.

PRIORITY · SUPPORTED REGION / SESSION CONTINUITY

U-D

Gaming

For gaming, confirm the server region first, then compare paths within that region. Direct routes are simple but depend more on current carrier interconnection; relay routes may improve some cross-network paths; IEPL routes suit situations where continuous connectivity is more important. Test in an actual match or training session rather than relying only on whether the launch page opens.

PRIORITY · SERVER REGION / PATH CONSISTENCY

U-E

Cross-border work

Video meetings, remote desktops, code repositories, enterprise documents, and cloud consoles all prioritize connection continuity. Use a relay or IEPL route matching the region of your work systems, and verify it before a meeting or long task begins. Keep the exit region stable during work and prepare a backup route in the same region for quick recovery.

PRIORITY · BUSINESS REGION / LONG SESSION

CHECK / COMPARE / KEEP

Verification order after switching routes

A connected status only shows that the client has established a tunnel. To confirm that a route suits the current task, also check the exit region, target application, and sustained session.

CHECK · REGION

Check the exit region

After switching, first confirm that the exit location matches the selected route. If the target application has regional requirements, a mismatch can directly affect its content catalog, login flow, or service entry point. Return to region selection instead of changing other network settings first.

CHECK · APP

Open the actual application

A webpage loading does not guarantee that the target task will work well. For streaming, start playback; for AI tools, complete continuous output; for work, establish a meeting or remote session; for gaming, enter the actual server. Real-task testing distinguishes page accessibility from sustained usability.

CHECK · SESSION

Check sustained connectivity

Continue the current task after the initial page opens and check whether login status, long-lived connections, and file transfers remain smooth. If the issue appears only in one application, try another route in the same region before switching to a completely different exit region.

KEEP · BACKUP

Record backup combinations

Keep one primary route and one backup route in the same region, and note which tasks each suits. When the network environment changes, switching between a prepared pair is more efficient than revisiting the full directory and reduces the noise caused by repeated changes.

90+ COUNTRIES / 200+ ROUTES

Global coverage does not mean choosing routes at random

04VPN covers 90+ countries and 200+ routes. The directory exists to provide more regional and path choices, not to make users cycle through every entry point each time. In practice, frequently used routes usually form a small, stable set around the target region, current network, and main applications.

The number of regions addresses exit-location needs, while the number of routes provides path choices and backups within each region. For streaming, AI tools, gaming, and work, identify the application region first, then find a suitable route there. Reconsider routes across regions only when the target region changes.

Subscription traffic can be used on Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux with unlimited devices. When multiple devices are online, choose routes according to each device’s task: keep the work device in a stable region, match the streaming device to the content region, and select a suitable entry point for the mobile device’s current access network.
