Regional Directory

Browse Routes by Region

The table below lists popular regions as a starting point. It is not a complete server inventory, and route types are not assigned permanently to specific regions. Nodes may change, so check the updated list in the panel before connecting, then review the full names and details in your client.

On narrow screens, swipe horizontally to scroll the table. The streaming column is a reminder to verify availability, not a promise about content libraries or platform access.

How to Interpret City Names

City names identify an exit location; they are not a direct measure of distance or speed. The entry point, intermediate path, and final exit may be in different places. A city name under a country also does not reveal which networks your traffic traverses. If you need a specific region, confirm the exit location and check the route notes. If a node has no city listed, use the information shown rather than making assumptions.

Keep Your Client in Sync with the Current List

After updating your subscription in the client, check whether your saved nodes are still available. If a name has changed or an old node no longer works, choose again from the updated list. Don’t keep using configurations that have been removed, and don’t treat the regional links on this page as permanent connection addresses. Get the client and subscription from the user panel. For setup instructions, see the getting started guide.

Connection Paths

IEPL, Relay, and Direct

These terms describe different connection setups, not a performance ranking. The explanations below cover general networking principles. For a specific node’s path, available types, and usage conditions, refer to the details in the panel.

Dedicated Circuit

IEPL

IEPL generally refers to a cross-region connection carried over a dedicated Ethernet circuit. For international routes, it can carry the cross-border segment of the path, giving more control over routing and transmission resources on that segment. The connection from your device to the entry point, and from the exit to the destination website, is still affected by your local network and the destination service. A dedicated-circuit label therefore doesn’t mean the entire connection uses the same type of transport.

It may be worth comparing for use cases that depend on sustained sessions, such as video calls, remote desktops, and longer AI responses. Check whether data continues to flow and whether the connection recovers after an interruption, rather than just confirming that a page opened once. Dedicated circuits generally cost more to provision and maintain, but actual performance depends on the entry point, exit, and time of use. This page does not imply any additional charges.

Forwarded Through an Entry Point

Relay Route

A relay adds a forwarding step between your device and the final exit. Your device connects to an entry point, which then forwards traffic along the rest of the path. This can make use of more suitable network interconnections and avoid some path issues that may arise when connecting directly to a distant exit. A relay adds a step, but more steps do not necessarily mean a slower connection; what matters is whether each part of the path is a good fit.

A relay can be one option for everyday browsing, accessing resources across regions, and work apps. Costs depend on the entry point, exit, and intermediate transport, so the word “relay” alone doesn’t indicate whether a route is more or less expensive. If something goes wrong, identify whether you can’t reach the entry point, websites fail after connecting, or only one app is affected. Each points to a different troubleshooting path.

Direct Connection to the Exit

Direct Route

A direct route generally means the client connects to the remote service entry point without an additional relay entry point of the same kind. The setup is more direct, but traffic still travels through your ISP and internet routing; it is not a single physical link between your device and the exit. Performance is more likely to depend on your local network, international peering, and the route to the destination.

If your current network has a suitable path to the destination region, a direct route may work well for browsing or app access. It generally uses fewer forwarding resources, but exit and transmission costs still apply, so it does not automatically mean lower cost or higher speed. Results can vary between local networks. Test routes in your own environment instead of relying on someone else’s choice.

Choose by Use Case

Choose a Route for Your Use Case

One route won’t necessarily suit every app. Start with the task you need to complete, then choose a region and path. This usually makes it easier to get consistent results than switching nodes repeatedly.

Everyday Browsing: Check the Full Page

A webpage’s text, images, sign-in components, and attachments may come from different services. The homepage loading doesn’t mean the entire site works. After choosing a candidate route, open inner pages, try a search, and check that you can access the attachments you use. If only one resource fails, first consider whether the issue is with the website itself or your routing rules; you may not need to switch exit countries right away.

If you don’t need a specific region, start with a commonly used region where the connection works well and keep a suitable backup route. Web performance changes with your local network and the destination service, so there’s no fixed ranking by distance. For long-term use, a simple, reproducible configuration is often easier to maintain.

Streaming: Check the Library and Account

Streaming availability depends on the exit region, your account entitlements, and platform policies. Being able to open a playback page doesn’t mean the title you want will play. Seeing content from a particular region doesn’t mean your account automatically has access to everything in that region’s library. Check the library you want, confirm playback rights, then test continuous playback. These steps are not interchangeable.

If you see a content notice or playback error, note the platform’s message and check whether the app still has an old session open. Refresh the session or reopen the app before checking again, so you don’t mistake cached status for a route issue. Content availability and playback quality depend on your actual connection. For more details, see the streaming guide.

AI Tools: Regional Availability and Session Stability

Tools such as ChatGPT and Claude may have different requirements for supported regions, account status, and exit IP reputation. Check the official list of supported regions for the tool before choosing a route. Reaching the sign-in page only confirms that a connection was established; it doesn’t prove that your account meets the tool’s requirements or guarantee access afterward.

Try to keep the same exit during sign-in, verification, and ongoing conversations. If an error appears, read the message and distinguish between regional restrictions, account verification, rate limits, and network interruptions. Avoid repeated retries that could make the issue worse. The web app, API, and IDE plugins may also use different proxy settings. See the AI connectivity guide or the AI access guide for more checks.

Gaming: Match the Region to the Session

Consider the game server region, your account region, and the connection path together. A website working normally doesn’t mean a game session will work the same way. Launcher updates, sign-in, and in-game traffic may also have different connection requirements. Check the game’s network rules first, then make sure your client handles traffic for the relevant app correctly.

This page does not promise dedicated optimization for any specific game. When evaluating a route, check whether sign-in completes, the session stays connected, and switching networks requires reconnecting. If a game requires a specific region or clearly restricts proxy use, follow its terms rather than assuming compatibility from a node name.

Work: Stable Exits and Company Policies

Remote work often involves company sign-in, video calls, cloud storage, and internal resources. Some organizations trigger additional verification when the exit region or IP address changes. Before you start, confirm which access methods your organization allows. During work, try to keep your exit and routing configuration consistent, and avoid switching routes during file transfers or meetings.

Running a corporate tunnel alongside a subscription client may cause routing or DNS conflicts. If internal resources are unreachable, first check which configuration handles that resource instead of repeatedly switching countries. VPNMF supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux and unlimited simultaneous devices. Check the local network and app settings on each device.

After Connecting

Confirm the Exit, Then Check the App

A successful connection is just the starting point for troubleshooting. Track the network, app, and account layers separately to avoid unnecessary route changes and make it easier to explain the issue to support.

Check Your Configuration and Exit First

Get the client and subscription from the user panel, then update the configuration in your client. Confirm the selected node rather than relying on its saved name. Use network diagnostics to check your current exit details. If they don’t match what you expected, review your routing mode, the app’s own proxy settings, and whether another local network tool is taking over the connection.

A diagnostic page shows the exit used for that particular request. Other apps may behave differently if they don’t use the same route. Verify the connection in the app you actually need instead of ending troubleshooting based on the diagnostic page alone.

Record Reproducible Details

If the issue persists, note the platform, node name shown in the client, destination service, error message, and the step where it occurred. Mention whether it affects everything or only a specific app. This context is more useful for troubleshooting than a general report that “the network is bad.” If you share a screenshot, hide account details, subscription links, and other sensitive information.

Support is available in the user panel. If you need help, you can submit a support ticket. Don’t post subscription links in public discussions. Describe account and network issues separately so it’s clear whether the next step is to adjust the connection or address the destination service’s account requirements.
