Browse Routes by Region
Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and other regions use the same directory fields.
About this directory: These are example combinations of regions and route types, not a complete list of available plans or a guarantee that every option is always available. City names help identify exit locations, but alone they do not indicate speed or access to specific content.
About streaming: A region name does not guarantee platform access. Playback depends on exit detection, account region, content licensing and platform rules. Always check the client's current status and test playback on the platform.
On narrow screens, swipe horizontally within the table to view route types and streaming notes.

Route Types and Paths
Route types describe how a connection is routed—not its speed tier or a universal ranking for every use case.
IEPL
Focus on the entry point and international transit segment
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. A dedicated line may carry traffic between an entry point and an overseas node, but traffic still passes through the exit network before reaching the destination. That distinction matters: an IEPL label describes the type of resources used on part of the route; it does not mean every connection segment, from your device to the destination, has identical conditions.
Consider it when connection consistency matters, such as for remote work, extended AI sessions or long viewing sessions. In the evening, test page loading, uninterrupted content delivery and whether tasks complete on the same network. If your local Wi-Fi is unstable, changing the international route type may not help; check your device and local connection first.
In general network infrastructure, dedicated transmission resources typically cost more to procure and maintain than routes using public networks. This is not a statement about TangVPN's route-specific pricing. Check the dashboard and Plans for current options and prices; don't infer extra charges or exclusive resources from the “dedicated line” label.
Transit Routes
Focus on the combination of entry and exit points
A transit route sends your connection through an intermediate access node before it reaches the exit through the next part of the route. The intermediate node provides another routing option; it is not simply an extra geographic stop. For some local carriers, forwarding through a suitable entry point may work better than connecting directly to a distant exit. Results can also differ on another access network.
Transit routes are a good starting point for everyday browsing, research and cross-region work. Check whether the destination opens, interactions remain responsive and downloads complete. If a region performs poorly, keep the same exit region and try another transit route. This makes it easier to tell whether the issue is a regional restriction or a network path.
Transit costs depend on the combined setup of access nodes, forwarding resources and exit networks. This approach may balance resource use with routing flexibility, but the name alone does not indicate cost. Transit is not the same as a dedicated line; compare the labels shown in the client and don't treat them as interchangeable.
Direct Routes
Focus on the route taken by your local network
A direct route generally connects your device to the route's exit through your access network, without an additional transit entry point arranged by the service. “Direct” describes the routing setup; it does not mean the physical distance is shorter or that carrier routing is bypassed. Connections between public networks still affect performance.
When your local network has a suitable route to the destination region, a direct connection can be an option for browsing and file transfers. If performance varies over time on the same direct route, consider the time of day and local network conditions before assuming the destination site is at fault. Keep a transit option in the same region for a more useful comparison.
Direct routes generally need no additional transit-layer resources, but exit capacity, regional resources and operations still cost money. “Direct” does not mean free or necessarily cheaper. Choose based on the task: a connection that reliably reaches the service and fits its regional requirements matters more than how advanced a route type sounds.
Choose a Route by Use Case
Start with what your task requires, then choose a region and connection path.
Everyday Browsing
For websites, email and research, start with a relatively nearby region that the destination allows. Check that pages, images and attachments all load, then keep suitable routes as regular options. A homepage loading does not mean every resource domain on the page is reachable; testing a full browsing session gives you a better picture than relying on the connection indicator.
If only one site is behaving oddly, check its status, your account permissions and browser extensions before switching routes. Keep your browser and access network unchanged while testing and adjust only the route. Changing several variables at once makes it harder to identify the cause.
Streaming and Video
First check which regions the platform supports for the content you want, then review your account plan and device playback capabilities. An exit in a particular region does not guarantee that you'll see its entire catalog or that the platform will accept that exit. Reaching the homepage, finding a title and playing it without interruption are separate checks.
Once playback starts, check whether video quality stays stable, playback resumes after seeking, and subtitles and audio tracks work. If you see a region warning, read it before trying another country. For more on account regions, exit detection and playback errors, see the Complete Guide to Streaming Access. Always follow the platform's rules.
AI Tools
First check which regions the AI platform supports and whether your account is eligible. A network route can change how you connect, but it cannot replace the platform's account permissions, subscription or regional requirements. After signing in, test a real conversation, file upload or code completion and check that results keep coming through.
Tools that generate ongoing output depend on a consistent connection. For longer tasks, keep the exit region and route stable; frequent changes may restart an existing session or trigger additional platform checks. Save your work before comparing routes, and test with the same task. Generation speed alone is not a reliable measure of network quality.
Gaming Connections
Check the game's region and account rules before deciding whether to change your network exit. Sign-in, updates and game servers may use different network paths; being able to open the store does not confirm that a route will work for gameplay. An international route subscription is not a promise of game-specific optimization.
After choosing a route to test, check sign-in, matchmaking and connection stability outside a live match first. Follow the game's rules on proxy connections. Keep the route unchanged when starting a live match, and don't switch exits during an active session. For large updates, also check your plan's remaining data.
Work and Collaboration
Follow the requirements of your work platform, organization administrator and data access policies before prioritizing convenience. Remote desktops, meetings, document collaboration and file sync each have different needs. For a meeting, check screen sharing and uploads as well as audio; for a file transfer, confirm the file is fully saved, not just that the transfer started.
TangVPN allows unlimited simultaneous devices, but that doesn't mean every device should use the same routing settings. Set access by device and app to keep unrelated traffic from disrupting work. If your company's internal network or connection tools have specific requirements, confirm compatibility with your administrator before adding configurations.
Checks Before and After Connecting
Keep test conditions consistent, note what happens, then decide whether to switch routes.
Before Connecting: Set Up Your Account and Client
No email address required—create an account with a username and password. Get the client and subscription link from the user dashboard; sign in to retrieve the subscription. Sign in to the Windows / macOS / Android / Linux client to get started. Downloading the iOS app requires an active plan. Follow the Getting Started Guide to configure your setup, then compare routes.
Before connecting, make sure your local network is working and close any connection tools doing the same job. Note the target platform, device, exit region and steps you took. This makes issues easier to reproduce and helps distinguish route changes from browser cache or app settings.
Get the client from your dashboard →After Connecting: Test the Full Task
Check your network exit on the Exit IP Check page, then open the target service and complete a real task. An exit IP check shows the route used by that request; it cannot verify every app. If the client uses split-tunneling rules, different apps may take different routes.
If something goes wrong, keep the same region and try another available route first. If the problem persists, note the route name shown in the client, the message from the service and what you were doing, then describe the issue in a dashboard support ticket. Include steps to reproduce the problem, but never share your password or full subscription details.
Open a support ticket in your dashboard →Use the region directory to narrow your options, then test a route with your actual task. For more troubleshooting help, visit the Help Center or read How to Choose a VPN Route to build a shortlist by region, route type and use case.
