Locations, cities and connection entry points are different

A location in the list usually indicates where traffic exits; city labels give a more specific destination. The entry point your client connects to may be somewhere else. With relayed connections, the entry and exit locations can differ, so the entry point name alone cannot tell you which region a website will detect. To check, compare the current node in your client with the account region shown by the website.

Examples are not a complete server list

This page provides static route guidance so temporary server status is not mistaken for a long-term commitment. Sign in to see the full server names, available groups and maintenance updates in the dashboard or an updated client subscription. If the client and dashboard differ, update your subscription first, then check whether the selected server is still listed.

How routes work

Dedicated, relayed and direct routes.

These terms describe how a connection is routed, not a standardized speed tier. The explanations below cover general principles. Check the dashboard for specific route details; the route type alone does not guarantee performance.

IEPL

Uses a dedicated segment for part of the cross-border route

How it works

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. These connections use dedicated transmission resources for part of the route, reducing reliance on ordinary public internet routing across borders. Your local network connection to the entry point and the network from the exit to the destination service still affect performance. An IEPL label does not mean the entire connection avoids shared networks.

Best for

Consider a dedicated route for extended work sessions, streaming or everyday access where a consistent experience in the evening matters. Judge it by how well your actual sessions hold up, not by assuming the label means faster speeds. If your local Wi-Fi is congested or the destination service is slow, switching to a dedicated route may not fix the issue.

Cost considerations

Dedicated transmission resources typically involve higher resource and maintenance costs, but this does not imply an additional charge. Check the plans page and dashboard for VPNShunshun pricing. Route names do not determine fees or guarantee that a specific plan includes a particular route.

Relayed

Routes traffic through a relay to the destination exit

How it works

A relayed connection reaches a relay entry point first, which then forwards traffic to the exit. This lets routes be managed in segments, with different forwarding arrangements for different locations. The exit region in a server name may not be the first point your connection reaches. Your experience depends on the entry point, relay links and exit network together.

Best for

A relayed route can be worth comparing when a direct connection from your local network to an exit performs poorly. Try it with real tasks such as browsing, research or streaming. An extra relay does not necessarily mean a slower connection; a well-organized route may work more smoothly. However, a relayed label does not guarantee a consistent experience at all times.

Cost considerations

Relayed routes use entry, forwarding and exit resources, so operating costs vary by route. They are not always cheaper than dedicated routes or more expensive than direct ones. Choose based on your destination and actual experience, then check whether the plan’s data allowance suits your everyday use rather than guessing from the route name.

Direct

Connects directly to the selected server entry point

How it works

A direct connection generally means the client connects to the server entry point without a separate relay on the service side. “Direct” does not mean the shortest physical distance or that only one network segment lies between you and the destination website. Public internet routing, carrier interconnections and the destination service’s network still determine the actual path.

Best for

When the path from your local network to the destination exit works well, direct connections can handle everyday browsing, documents and other routine tasks. They also make a useful baseline: check whether a direct route gets the job done, then compare other types in the same location. Don’t switch just because another label sounds more sophisticated, and don’t dismiss a simple direct route.

Cost considerations

Direct routes generally avoid a separate relay resource, but server location, exit network and resource quality still affect costs. A simple route is not necessarily lower quality, and a more complex route is not necessarily better. This page explains route structure without assigning unverified performance or price tiers.

Choose by use case

Choose a route for the task.

Start with the service you need to access and the region it requires, then compare connection behavior. Map distance is only one clue; actual routing, destination service policies and your local network all matter.

Everyday browsing

Start with a region close to where you are and allowed by the destination website. Test familiar websites, documents and images for consistent loading, including both the initial page and links within it. If just one website has issues while others work, check that site’s status and your client’s routing rules before changing the entire subscription.

Once you find a route that works for everyday use, keep another option for comparison. If access slows down, switching routes on the same network makes it easier to pinpoint the cause than changing the mode, region and client settings all at once.

Streaming

Check the content region and account requirements before testing playback. A website loading does not guarantee access to its catalog, playback rights or the resolution you want. The same platform may show different content based on your account region, licensing and how it identifies your exit location. That’s why the table says “Check with the specific service” rather than promising streaming support based on location.

When comparing routes, use the same account and content. Check startup time, seeking and sustained playback. If the results don’t change after switching regions, consider app cache and account settings instead of attributing every difference to the route.

Accessing AI tools

Before using tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini, check which regions they support and what account requirements apply, then choose an eligible exit location. A network connection provides an access route; it does not replace account authorization, payment eligibility or platform policies, or guarantee that a platform will identify an exit location the same way over time.

Try to keep the same exit region while signing in and during an ongoing session. When testing, check more than the homepage: make sure you can submit and receive content as expected. If a message appears, first determine whether it points to a connection error, an account requirement or a response from the service. Addressing the right issue is more useful than repeatedly switching regions.

Gaming

Choose candidate routes based on the game server’s region, not on marketing labels. Being able to sign in to a launcher does not mean the in-game connection follows the same route. Check the client mode, how traffic from the game process is routed, and whether the game allows this type of network connection.

This page makes no game-specific optimization claims. Compare routes by whether you can enter the game, keep a session active and get responsive controls. If the game connection does not go through the client, switching servers usually won’t help. Confirm that the route is active before comparing alternatives.

Remote work

For work, prioritize session stability, your organization’s access requirements and a consistent exit region. Meetings, remote desktops and file collaboration have different connection needs, so test with the apps you actually use. Running an organization-provided connection alongside this service may cause routing or DNS conflicts. Follow your organization’s device and network management policies.

Check your selected route before an important session, and avoid switching exit locations mid-session. To troubleshoot, note the client mode, server name and affected app, then submit a ticket through the dashboard. Specific details about what you were doing make it easier to diagnose than simply saying the connection is unreliable.

From connection to access

Verify the route, then compare performance.

Make sure your subscription is up to date

Sign in to check your subscription status, then update the subscription in your client before selecting a server. Names in an old configuration may have changed, and manually saved servers may no longer appear in the current list. Don’t share your subscription URL in public discussions; keep subscription details secure like other account credentials.

After updating, check the configuration, group and selected server currently in use by your client. Seeing a location in the list does not mean your current request is using that exit.

Check that the target app is using the connection

A connected status in the client only confirms the client’s connection state. Routing rules may send different websites over different paths, and browsers and other apps may use different settings. Use our IP lookup tool to check your browser’s exit, then test the target app directly.

An exit IP lookup cannot verify the route used by other apps. For step-by-step instructions, see the setup guide. If you still have questions about modes and rules, consult the beginner-to-advanced troubleshooting guide.

If all candidate routes have similar issues, check your local network, client permissions and subscription status first. If only one service is affected, focus on its region and account requirements. Submit troubleshooting details through a dashboard ticket. When sharing screenshots, hide your password and subscription details.

Keeping your setup in shape

Check routes and plans separately.

Your route determines the access path; your plan determines billing and data usage. Don’t judge whether you have enough data from a server name, or assume a plan price predicts whether a destination service will work.

Choose billing based on your actual usage

Monthly plans: ¥9.9/month includes 60GB, ¥18/month includes 250GB, and ¥28/month includes 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date. Mid-cycle upgrades are prorated based on the remaining days. If you often stream or transfer files, use the dashboard’s actual usage records to estimate your needs rather than the location list on this page.

Data packs: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB and ¥658/3000GB. They last until used and never expire. Monthly plans and data packs are billed differently; check the plans page and dashboard for details and your account status. VPNShunshun supports Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT, and offers a 14-day no-questions-asked refund.

Choose routes separately on each device

Unlimited simultaneous devices; supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Since network conditions and use cases vary by device, you can test different route options on each one. Unlimited devices does not change your plan’s data allowance, so keep an eye on your account usage.
