What country, city, and route type tell you

The country is a starting point when choosing a region for a service; the city gives a more specific exit location, while the route type describes how the connection is routed. These details are not interchangeable: the same city can have different routes, and the same route type can lead to different regions. For everyday access to international websites, you do not need to choose the farthest exit. If a service requires a specific region, check its rules first and choose an eligible location.

Coverage describes the service's overall range of regions and routes; it does not mean every region has the same entry points, paths, or app performance. Subscription updates, route maintenance, and client filters can all affect what appears in your list. If the dashboard and client show different routes, update the subscription and clear any list filters before troubleshooting further. Do not assume a route in these examples is included in your current subscription.

How routes work

IEPL routes, relays, and direct connections

Route names describe connection paths, not speed rankings. The following explains common setups and their cost structures; actual performance still depends on your local network, entry point, and destination service.

IEPL: Focus on the international link

IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line, providing a planned route for the relevant part of a connection. When used for network acceleration, distinguish between your device and the entry point, the entry and exit points, and the exit point and destination website. A private line can improve the segment it carries, but it cannot compensate for poor local access or determine how quickly a destination website responds.

These routes typically involve dedicated line capacity, entry and exit access, and ongoing maintenance, so their resource costs are often higher than options relying solely on the public internet. For ongoing, interactive tasks such as video calls and remote desktop sessions, compare how consistently the route performs in practice. During peak hours, check whether audio, video, and sessions stay stable rather than just whether the client connects.

“Private line” does not mean there is a dedicated connection from your device to every website, nor does it guarantee that a particular app will work. If your local Wi-Fi is unstable or the destination service is down, switching to a private-line route may not resolve the issue. Troubleshoot the connection one segment at a time.

Relay: Rerouting through an entry point

With a relay, your device usually connects to an entry point, which forwards traffic to an exit point. An extra forwarding step does not necessarily make a connection slower: public internet routes are not always direct, and a suitable entry-and-exit pairing may reduce detours or fluctuations. On the other hand, a congested entry point or limited forwarding capacity can offset any routing benefits.

Relay routes use entry, exit, and forwarding resources, with costs varying by route setup. They are worth comparing for everyday browsing, streaming, and collaboration tools. When testing, keep the exit region the same and change only the route type to better identify what makes a difference.

Direct: A simpler path that relies on public internet routing

A direct connection usually means your device connects to the exit over the public internet, without a separate relay entry point. It avoids relay resources and maintenance steps, which generally makes for a simpler cost structure. In practice, performance depends more directly on your local provider, cross-border public internet routing, and exit connectivity.

When the route from your location to the exit is suitable, direct connections can work well for regular websites, document searches, and light use. If performance fluctuates at certain times, compare a relay or private-line route in the same region. A simpler route is not necessarily faster at all times, so do not rule out direct connections based on the label alone.

Route costs do not determine plan prices

The cost notes above explain the resources involved in different route types; they do not mean this service charges different rates for each type. See the plans page for prices and inclusions. This page does not infer separate charges from route names. More useful questions when choosing are whether your target service works, whether ongoing tasks stay smooth, and which route best suits your current network.

Choose by use case

Choose a route for the task

Keep the destination region fixed, then compare connection methods. During testing, use the same device, local network, and task so you can avoid changing several variables at once.

Everyday browsing

Check that pages load fully

For research, reading websites, and sending or receiving documents, start with a commonly used exit that has no special regional requirements. After opening a website, check that images, sign-in, and attachments work—not just that the page body appears. If one site has problems while others work, first consider account, region, or resource-loading issues with that site rather than changing all your client settings.

Keep one route that works well for everyday tasks, and use other routes for comparison. If something fails once, refresh the page before switching routes. Frequently changing countries can make account verification and region detection more complicated.

Streaming

Check content availability, then playback stability

Services such as Netflix and Disney+ have catalogs and account requirements that vary by region. A successful connection does not guarantee that specific content will play. Check the platform's current catalog, then open the content and see whether playback continues, resumes after seeking, and loads subtitles and audio tracks correctly. Opening the home page is not a substitute for testing playback.

For higher video quality, also check your local network, device playback settings, and account eligibility. If only specific titles fail, check their licensing first; if several titles keep buffering, compare different routes in the same region. Streaming access varies. This page does not guarantee a fixed catalog or resolution.

AI Tools

Separate network access from account eligibility

When using AI tools, loading a webpage, signing in, and calling a feature are separate steps. You may be able to open the site but unable to submit a request because of account permissions, service-region restrictions, usage limits, or an issue with the service itself. Read the error message before changing routes; not every denial is a connection problem.

For longer generation tasks, check that the session stays active, the result returns in full, and file uploads finish. Follow the target service's regional requirements and try to keep the same exit throughout a session. If a task fails only in one client, check whether the app is using the expected proxy rules.

Gaming

Check the game region and client proxy settings first

Gaming depends on stable interactions, but a region label does not tell you the full route between your device and the game server. Check the game's server region, platform rules, and whether your client proxies the game process itself. A launcher updating successfully does not mean the game uses the same route, and a successful webpage test does not replace testing in-game.

A general network acceleration subscription should not be taken as a dedicated optimization for every game. Compare actual gameplay, voice chat, and session stability. If the same issue persists after changing routes, check your local Wi-Fi, background downloads, and the game's service status. Confirm the game region instead of repeatedly switching countries.

Work

Prioritize reliable collaboration over a one-time connection

Video calls, remote desktop, and online documents have different network needs. Calls require steady audio and video, remote desktop needs responsive controls, and document collaboration needs edits to save and sync. Test routes before work begins by comparing IEPL, relay, and direct connections in practice, rather than switching repeatedly during a meeting.

If your device also runs a workplace network client, follow your organization's security and access policies first, and check for conflicts between routing and proxy settings. VPNLiuLiang supports unlimited devices connected at the same time, but that does not replace managing local network resources; large file transfers across multiple devices can still affect calls on the same connection.

Connection checks

From subscription updates to troubleshooting notes

First confirm the route appears in your client, then check that requests are using the expected exit. Separate configuration issues from problems with the destination service to avoid unnecessary switching.

Update your subscription, then verify your selection

Sign in to the user dashboard to get your subscription and client access, then follow the guide to import it. After updating, check that the client shows the new route list, then confirm your selected route and rule mode. Some clients keep the previous selection; updating the subscription does not necessarily change the active connection. Seeing a route in the list also does not mean the target app is using it.

To check your exit, visit the My IP page to see what your browser reports. Other apps may use different rules, so after confirming the browser exit, try an actual task in the target app. If the app still has issues, check its rule matching and system proxy settings rather than importing the subscription again.

When something goes wrong, keep details that help reproduce it

Record when the issue happened, your device platform, client name, route name, target service, and any visible error message. Note which routes you tried and what changed after each switch. Screenshots with sensitive details obscured can help, but never share passwords, full subscription URLs, or account credentials. “What failed, and where?” is more useful than simply saying a route does not work.

If no regions connect, check your local connection, subscription status, and client settings first. If only one site fails, check the destination service and proxy rules. If the issue occurs only at certain times, note your local network and selected route. See the troubleshooting guide for detailed steps, or open a support ticket in the dashboard for further help.
