International Routes · Static Reference

Global Servers & Routes

Choose a service region first, then compare connection types. The region determines your exit location, while the experience also depends on your local network, time of day and destination service.

The locations and connection types below are a static reference, not a live availability list. Check the user dashboard for current route options and names.

Region index

Routes by region

Choose an exit region that matches your needs for the destination service. The table groups routes across Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and other regions. City names indicate reference exit locations; geographic distance alone does not determine connection quality.

On smaller screens, swipe horizontally across the table to view cities, connection types and streaming notes.

This page offers an overview of regional coverage and route selection; it does not map every route individually. Coverage does not mean there is an entry point in every city or that every destination service accepts every exit location. Check the current routes in the dashboard before connecting; this static reference is not an availability guarantee.

Route structure

Dedicated, relayed and direct routes

Connection types describe how data travels through the network, not how routes rank in performance. The overview below explains common setups and cost factors; check the details for each route to confirm its actual routing and access method.

IEPL: More control over the international segment

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. It provides a relatively controlled transmission path between designated access points, reducing reliance on changes to public international routing. A connection still involves your local access network, the service entry point and the destination website’s network, so the route name alone cannot replace end-to-end testing.

This setup can suit ongoing meetings, remote desktops or sessions that need to stay connected for extended periods. Compare routes by checking for uninterrupted audio, reliable file transfers and successful task completion during busy hours—not just their order in the client. A dedicated line may not fix packet loss caused by a congested local Wi-Fi network.

Costs mainly come from dedicated transmission resources, access ports and operations. These setups generally require more resources, but that does not reveal the price, exclusivity or performance ceiling of any K6VPN route. See the plans page for current pricing.

Relayed routes: An entry point shapes the path

With a relayed route, your device connects to an entry point first, which then forwards traffic to an overseas exit. The entry and exit serve different roles: the entry affects local connectivity, while the exit determines the region seen by the destination service. The country shown for a route typically identifies its exit; it does not mean the entire path from your device to that country uses a dedicated link.

A relay can be a good option for everyday browsing and streaming when your local carrier has a suitable route to the entry point. Extra forwarding can also introduce changes in the path, so more hops do not automatically mean a more stable connection. Compare different entry points to the same destination region under the same conditions to find a setup that works well with your local network.

Costs include entry-point resources, forwarded traffic and the overseas exit. Resource requirements can vary considerably between routes, so “relayed” does not imply a standard cost or indicate whether a route will suit a particular time of day.

Direct routes: A simpler path, still subject to public routing

A direct route generally means the client connects to an overseas service node without an additional relay entry point. A “direct route” is not the same as a client’s “direct” rule, which sends a website’s traffic outside the proxy. One describes how the node connects; the other determines whether a particular request uses the proxy. Keep the two concepts separate when troubleshooting.

A direct route can work well when public routing from your location to the destination node is smooth. It can serve for everyday browsing and as a comparison route. Performance is more exposed to carrier peering, international routing and time of day, and a shorter geographic distance does not necessarily mean a smoother connection. If the connection is active but pages keep loading, test the destination website rather than relying on the connection icon alone.

Compared with setups that involve extra forwarding, a direct route may reduce some transmission costs, though overseas resources and routing conditions still affect the overall cost. Differences in cost structure do not guarantee performance, and do not mean you need to pay an extra route fee.

Choose by use case

Choose an exit for the task

Start with what you need to do, then compare how smoothly it works. Browsing, video, real-time interaction and file transfers place different demands on a network, so one test cannot describe every use case.

Everyday browsing

If you do not need a specific region, start with one that works well on your local network. Open several familiar websites and check that text, images and sign-in pages load fully. Keep a route that works well as an everyday option. A single simple page cannot show whether images and external resources on more complex sites will load properly.

With rule-based routing, local services and international websites may take different paths. If only one website has a problem, first check whether it is assigned to the expected route; there is no need to switch every node right away. Changing exit locations frequently may cause signed-in websites to recheck your session, so keeping a route that works is often easier.

Streaming and content libraries

Check which region the content is available in, then choose the corresponding exit. Being able to open a streaming service’s home page does not mean a video will play; seeing a title in search results does not mean your account can watch it. Test by opening the content and playing it for a while. Check for repeated drops in resolution or long waits after seeking.

If the region detected by the platform differs from the route name, first check that the app is using the expected proxy, then reopen it using the platform’s normal process. Repeatedly switching countries is not a reliable fix. Content licensing and exit-location detection can change; see our guide to streaming access for more ways to troubleshoot.

AI Tools

Check the service region requirements for the tool, then choose an exit location within the permitted regions. Keeping the same route for sign-in, conversations and file submissions makes it easier to tell whether a session check was caused by a network change or the service itself. A working connection does not confirm account eligibility, payment method or regional requirements.

Test beyond the sign-in page. Submit a routine task without sensitive information and check that the full response arrives and longer sessions do not end unexpectedly. If the website works but the desktop app does not, check whether the app follows the system proxy. Changing the exit region alone may not help if the app is not using the proxy.

Gaming and real-time interaction

Check the game’s service region and the client’s network requirements. In-game sign-in, downloads, voice chat and matches may connect to different services, so smooth browsing does not predict how a match will perform. Test in the game itself, paying attention to lag, reconnects and interrupted voice chat rather than download progress alone.

Standard proxy rules may not route all game traffic; some traffic requires specific client support. Do not change unfamiliar system network settings just to route a game through a proxy. K6VPN’s international coverage does not guarantee compatibility with every game, service region or connection method.

Work and collaboration

For work, prioritize continuity and access policies. Before connecting to a meeting, remote desktop or collaboration platform, confirm that your organization allows external proxies and check whether it requires a fixed exit or a specific connection method. A standard subscription route does not replace dedicated corporate access or provide a fixed IP address.

Test real workflows during your usual working hours, including joining meetings, sharing documents and uploading files. Keep the route unchanged during longer tasks where possible, as changing exits may trigger session reauthentication. If a corporate app requires direct access to an internal network, follow your organization’s setup instructions instead of routing all work traffic through an overseas exit.

Connection checks

How to test your connection

Start with a consistent baseline. Use the same device, network and destination app to compare routes in similar conditions. Change one setting at a time to identify whether any improvement comes from the exit region, connection method or local network. If you change the node, network and app settings all at once, it will be hard to identify the cause even if things start working again.

Next, check your actual exit location. Use the site’s IP lookup tool to see the exit information used for your current connection, then test the destination app. Browsers and apps may use different proxy settings, so a browser showing the expected exit does not mean every app is routed through it. Treat lookup results as troubleshooting clues, not a substitute for the destination service’s region detection.

When something goes wrong, first identify how widespread the issue is. If no websites load, check your local network, client connection and subscription status. If only one service has a problem, check its status, account requirements and routing rules. If lag happens only during busy periods, keep notes from your usual usage hours for comparison. A clear description of what happens is more useful for troubleshooting than a general claim that a route is poor.

For help, submit a support ticket from the user dashboard with your operating system, client name, selected route, time of the issue and a cleaned-up error message. Hide subscription links, account credentials and payment details in screenshots.

Service details

Coverage and subscription use

K6VPN covers 110+ countries / 220+ routes. Country coverage describes the range of exit regions; the route count describes available connection resources. They are not the same thing. This page is a grouped reference, not a complete inventory, and a city name does not mean a resource is permanently available. Check the current options in the dashboard.

Use unlimited simultaneous devices on Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. When using multiple devices, keep an eye on your subscription data: unlimited devices does not mean unlimited data. Get clients from the user dashboard and manage subscription details there. Do not post them publicly.

Monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date. If you upgrade mid-cycle, the price difference is prorated for the remaining days. Data add-ons remain available until used and never expire. Check the plans page for full pricing, data allowances and billing details before choosing a plan. Do not infer plan benefits from a route type or treat coverage as permission to access a third-party platform.

No email address is required to create an account. K6VPN offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy; see the refund policy for details. When using international routes, follow local laws, destination service rules and your organization’s network policies. A route changes the network path; account eligibility, content permissions and device security still need to be checked separately.
