Coverage includes 120+ countries / 160+ routes. These figures describe the service as a whole; they do not mean every account can access the same servers at all times. Refer to the server list in your account for current availability. This page does not make unverified claims about specific cities or locations.
Open the panel to view routes →A server location doesn’t determine what you can access
A location generally describes the server’s exit point, not every factor a website considers when determining account access. Streaming platforms may use your account region, content licensing, and exit IP to decide what you can watch. AI tools may also require your account to meet their service-area requirements. After choosing a location, check the service itself. Being able to load its homepage does not guarantee that video playback, file uploads, or API requests will work.
Geographic distance is a useful starting point, but it shouldn’t be the only factor. Your local ISP’s international gateway, routing paths, and the destination website’s network can all affect performance. Different routes within the same region may also take different paths. For most users, it’s more useful to choose an exit location that meets the destination service’s requirements, then compare routes using familiar pages and tasks, rather than judging by location name alone.
IEPL, Relayed, and Direct Routes
Here’s how common route types work and what affects their costs. This does not mean VPNGD offers every type in every region. Check route labels in your account panel for current availability.
Dedicated transport for the cross-border segment
An IEPL route typically uses an international Ethernet private line for part of its cross-border traffic. Your client connects to an entry point, traffic travels over the relevant link to an exit server, and then reaches the destination service. This can reduce reliance on public international routes for the cross-border segment and help operators plan routing and capacity. Other network segments remain between your device and the entry point, and between the exit server and the website, so an IEPL route does not mean the entire connection path is dedicated.
These resources generally have higher leasing and maintenance costs, making them a better fit for use cases where consistent connections, long-running tasks, or performance during busy periods matter—for example, remote work, extended file transfers, or long video sessions. Whether a route suits you depends on how it performs for your actual tasks. The route name cannot fix congestion on your local Wi-Fi, a busy destination website, or incorrect client rules.
Traffic is forwarded between an entry point and an exit server
A relayed route adds a relay server between your device and the final exit server. The entry point receives your connection and forwards it to the exit. Choosing an appropriate entry point and relay path may help avoid detours when your local network connects directly to an international exit. Note that “relayed” describes the forwarding setup; it does not automatically mean the cross-border segment uses a dedicated line. Consider whether traffic is relayed separately from what resources the cross-border segment uses.
Relayed routes incur costs for the entry server, exit server, and the data links between them. The specific investment depends on the route and capacity. Relayed routes may be worth trying for everyday browsing, research, and general applications, but an extra relay also adds another point to troubleshoot. If a connection fails, changing the entry point and changing the exit server have different effects. Check the information shown in your client before making changes.
The client connects directly to an international exit server
A direct route generally means the client connects to the exit server without an additional relay entry point configured by the service. Its structure is simpler, with fewer service-side forwarding steps to troubleshoot, but traffic still travels over your local network and public international routes. Direct does not necessarily mean the shortest physical distance or faster performance on every ISP network. Your experience can vary with local access and international routing.
Compared with setups that use additional relay resources, direct routes generally involve fewer forwarding costs, though server location and data transfer fees still affect costs. They can suit users with good international connectivity on their local network and reliable access to the destination service. If performance drops at a particular time, keep the destination service the same and compare other routes available in your account panel. Don’t judge a route by the word “direct” alone.
Choose a Cross-Border Route for Your Needs
Start by defining what you need to do: load a website, stream continuously, make API calls, or connect to a company system. Different tasks have different network requirements and may not need the same location. Keep your test conditions consistent. Changing your network, client settings, and exit route all at once makes it harder to tell what helped.
Everyday Browsing: Check Your Websites and Rules First
For web browsing, check whether pages load fully, images and attachments work, and navigation feels responsive. Start with a location that meets the website’s requirements and is relatively nearby, then compare other available routes. If only one website fails, check that your client rules send its domain over the right route. If all websites fail, check your local network, subscription status, and client connection first.
There’s no need to switch locations repeatedly just to find a particular name. Keep a route that handles your everyday tasks reliably, and note another route you’ve tested as a backup. That gives you a clear point of comparison if something goes wrong, rather than leaving you to try random options.
Streaming: Test the Content You Actually Want to Watch
For streaming, check separately whether the platform opens, the specific title appears, and playback continues smoothly. Access to a platform does not mean every title is available in every region. Video quality can also depend on your account benefits, device capabilities, player settings, and the source stream. The table says “Verify after connecting” to avoid implying that location coverage guarantees permanent access to all content.
Test on the platform and device you plan to use regularly. Check that playback works from opening the title through the viewing session. If buffering occurs, pause large transfers on the same network and compare other available exit routes. If a regional notice appears on only one platform, check that platform’s account and location rules before assuming your entire connection is down.
AI Tools: Separate Web Access from API Requests
If an AI website opens, that only confirms that the route to its webpage is working. It does not prove that model requests, file uploads, or requests from developer tools use the same route. When using developer tools such as Cursor, check whether the app uses the system proxy, whether the terminal has separate settings, and whether the API service has its own account-region requirements. A network service cannot grant permissions to an account on another platform.
Try to keep the same exit route throughout a session. If a request times out, first check whether it reached the server, then review your app’s proxy settings and route. Don’t infer support for a fixed exit, specific concurrency requirements, or other development needs from the location name. Read the AI Tools Access Guide and confirm through a support ticket whether the service meets your requirements.
Gaming: Check Whether Game Traffic Uses the Route
Game clients, launchers, and voice chat apps may connect in different ways. Normal web access does not mean game traffic takes the same route, and some client proxy modes may not handle the traffic used by a game. Before choosing a route, check the game server’s region and whether your client configuration can handle the relevant traffic. Then test sign-in, matchmaking, and gameplay.
Don’t judge gaming performance based on a single web speed test. Compare the connection using the same game, server, and similar conditions. If the game has specific network requirements, check its official documentation first. Information about this service’s international routes is not a promise of optimization for any particular game.
Work: Consider Consistent Sign-Ins and Company Policies
Remote work often involves meetings, file collaboration, code repositories, and company authentication systems. First check whether your company permits proxy connections, restricts exit locations, and allows the client to run alongside its security software. If your company uses its own connection tool, don’t layer on additional settings without understanding the rules; doing so could send some apps over the wrong route.
For work, keep a familiar, tested exit route and note the app name, time, and error message if something goes wrong. Changing routes may prompt the destination system to verify your identity again, so make changes between tasks where possible. For business data, follow your company’s data-handling requirements. International routes provide a connection path; they do not replace your company’s access controls.
How to Test a Route After Connecting
Check your account and subscription status in the account panel, then use the download section to get a compatible client. VPNGD supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Sign in to retrieve your subscription; client download eligibility is determined by the account panel. Seeing a list of locations after importing the configuration means it was read successfully, but you still need to connect and test your intended tasks.
- Check your local connection. First make sure your regular network works without the accelerated route. Rule out Wi-Fi signal, router, and local network issues.
- Check your subscription and rules. Make sure the subscription is up to date, the route is available, and the app uses the intended system proxy or traffic-routing mode. Avoid running conflicting configurations at the same time.
- Test the real destination. For browsing, open a familiar website; for streaming, play the title you want to watch; for work, test the app you use. Match the test to your intended use.
- Keep conditions consistent for comparison. Use the same device and app, changing only the route. If that doesn’t help, try another local network to narrow down the issue step by step.
When submitting a support ticket, include the platform, client connection status, location name, app error, and troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried. Hide subscription URLs, account credentials, and other private information before sharing screenshots. Never share a complete subscription link that can be imported. For help, use the support ticket form in the account panel after signing in.
This page does not show latency, load, or bandwidth figures, and does not rank locations in a fixed order. The right route is the one that lets you complete your actual tasks reliably. For detailed setup steps, see the Setup Guide. For common issues, visit the Help Center.
Choosing Routes and Data Billing
Server locations and data allowances are separate considerations. Choosing an exit determines the connection route; choosing a plan determines your data allowance and reset schedule. VPNGD allows unlimited simultaneous devices, but multi-device use still depends on your plan’s data allowance. Household members can choose routes that suit their own needs rather than routing every device through the same location.
Monthly plans: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. If your usage is fairly consistent, choose a tier based on actual consumption shown in your account panel. The number of available routes does not determine whether you have enough data.
Data packs: ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, and ¥658 for 3000GB. They last until used and never expire. Data packs and monthly-reset subscriptions suit different usage patterns, so consider how consistently you use the service before choosing a billing option. For details, see Pricing and Plans. Don’t estimate long-term usage from a single visit.
VPNGD accepts Alipay / WeChat / USDT and offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund. No email address is required; create an account with a username and password. If your work or study requires a specific route, check the destination service’s rules and test the connection rather than relying on the number of covered countries.
