This page explains regional coverage, how routes work, and how to choose between them. Sign in to the user panel to see currently available servers, exit locations, and route types.
Locations are grouped into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and other regions. Check whether a region suits your needs, then confirm current server availability in the panel.
When choosing a region, distinguish between the entry point and the exit location. The entry point is where your client connects to the service; the exit is the location websites typically see. A city in a server name may help identify its exit, but it doesn't reveal the entire transmission path. Check any entry-point or route notes in the panel rather than assuming the network follows the shortest straight-line distance on a map.
On narrow screens, swipe horizontally to view the table. Streaming support isn't guaranteed for any listed location; platforms make their own decisions based on your account, content licensing, and network environment.

Route types are not assigned to specific cities in this table. The IEPL, relay, and direct routes described below are technical explanations, not a claim that VPNWood offers every type in every listed city.
Route Types and Connection Paths
Route names describe how a connection is arranged; they don't determine the user experience. Performance also depends on your local network, exit environment, and destination service.
Dedicated network path
IEPL Dedicated Line
IEPL generally refers to an international Ethernet private line. It uses dedicated Ethernet transport resources between specified endpoints, reducing reliance on changes in ordinary public internet routing. For sustained transfers and remote collaboration, path control may matter more than the server name.
These resources typically involve ports, transport capacity, and operational costs, with a different cost structure from ordinary public internet connections. However, a “dedicated line” label doesn't mean the entire connection uses a private network: local access and the route from the exit to the destination website must be assessed separately. Check the panel for availability and connection details.
Via an intermediate entry point
Relay Route
A relay adds an access or forwarding step between the client and the destination exit. The client connects to a suitable entry point, which then forwards traffic to the next network. Its value isn't simply that traffic passes through another location; what matters is whether the entry network and onward connection suit your ISP and network conditions.
Costs typically include entry-point resources, forwarded traffic, and exit resources. A well-planned route may improve connections under some network conditions; a congested entry point or unsuitable onward path can also add latency. Relay routes may suit users willing to compare options on their local network, but the label doesn't indicate a fixed performance tier.
Direct to the exit
Direct Route
A direct route generally means the client connects to the selected exit over the public internet without an additional relay entry point on the service side. Its structure is straightforward, making it easier to distinguish local access issues from problems at the destination exit. If your ISP has a suitable public route to the exit, a direct connection may work well for everyday use.
Fewer resource stages don't mean every connection will be faster, nor do they indicate a specific price. Public peering, time of day, and the destination website's location all affect performance. To compare direct and relay routes, keep the device, task, and network environment consistent rather than judging by route name alone.
Choosing an International Route by Use Case
List the requirements your task depends on, then compare candidate paths. No route type suits every use case based on its name alone.
Browsing and Research
Everyday browsing: check that full pages work smoothly
Browsing involves more than loading a homepage: images, scripts, search results, and downloads all matter. Start with a commonly used exit in a suitable region from the panel, then test the sites you actually need, including sign-in, search, and navigation. Geographic proximity can help narrow down options, but it isn't definitive: real internet routes don't necessarily follow the shortest distance on a map.
If only one website is behaving oddly, first check whether the site is down, a browser extension is interfering, or the connection is at fault. There's no need to change every setting straight away. Keep a familiar route for everyday browsing and have an alternative ready. Switching regions repeatedly can change search results, recommended content, and sign-in conditions, adding unnecessary variables to troubleshooting.
Video and Audio
Streaming: check regional rules, then test playback
Streaming availability depends on platform licensing, your account region, subscription status, and how the exit is identified. A website loading doesn't mean a specific title will play, and one playable title doesn't mean all content has the same licensing. This page therefore doesn't guarantee support by city; verify availability directly on the platform.
When testing, use the content you plan to watch and check that playback, seeking, and subtitle changes all work. If playback stutters, check your local Wi-Fi and background transfers too. If the platform reports a region or account restriction, follow its rules. Changing routes can't replace a valid content subscription or guarantee a change in licensing outcomes.

AI tools: check regional eligibility and keep sessions consistent
AI services may assess your access region, exit environment, and account status. Before connecting, check the service's supported regions, then choose an eligible location in the panel. Once a session is working, keep your connection environment relatively consistent and avoid switching exits during sign-in, verification, or generation.
Being able to submit text doesn't guarantee that streamed long responses or file uploads will work. Test the features you actually need. The web app, command line, and IDE plugins may each use different network settings, so success in a browser doesn't confirm that developer tools are connected too. Handle regional restrictions, account limits, and insufficient quota separately. See the AI Access Guide for details.
Interactive Connections
Gaming: distinguish sign-in, updates, and gameplay traffic
Game launchers, downloads, and in-game connections may use different services. A completed update doesn't mean the gameplay route is suitable. First check the game's regional rules and network policies, then confirm that your client rules cover the actual game process and support its required transport method.
Gameplay depends more on connection continuity and consistent responsiveness than on download speed. If issues arise, note the region, game stage, and local network type, then compare with normal conditions. This page doesn't guarantee support for any particular game. For anti-cheat, account-region, or server-policy requirements, follow the game's official guidance.
Remote Collaboration and Work Systems
Work: maintain clear access boundaries
Work networks must follow your organization's security policies. If a work system requires a specific access method, fixed allowlist, or corporate authentication, ask your administrator whether access through a subscription service is permitted. VPNWood's international routes aren't a connection to your corporate intranet and can't replace required device management or identity checks.
Test video meetings, document sync, and code repository access separately. If a corporate network client is running on the same device, check for routing or DNS conflicts rather than disabling security features without authorization. Keep the route unchanged while saving files or performing remote operations; if you need to switch, finish the current task first and check whether your work session needs to be re-established.
Connection Checks and Troubleshooting
Change one condition at a time. A clear comparison makes it easier to identify the cause than repeatedly switching servers.
Set up a repeatable comparison
First confirm that your local network can access everyday websites, then sign in to the panel, update your subscription, and check that the client selected the intended route. Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux are all supported platforms, though permissions, rules, and power-saving settings vary by system. For initial setup, follow the Quick Start Guide before comparing routes.
When comparing routes, use the same device, local network, and task whenever possible. Record website loading, account sign-in, file transfers, and video playback separately instead of relying on a general “works” or “doesn't work” verdict. If switching local networks changes the issue significantly, investigate the access network first. If only one app is affected, check its proxy settings and permissions.
Separate connection errors from platform restrictions
Connection timeouts, DNS resolution failures, and a platform's regional restriction message are different problems. The first two may involve your local network or route; the last may also reflect the platform's own rules. Never dismiss a certificate warning and continue entering account details. Check your system clock, URL, and client settings first; stop and report the issue if needed.
For help, submit your system name, client status, selected route name, steps that triggered the issue, and any error message through a user panel support ticket. Hide subscription links, passwords, and other credentials. Clear reproduction steps help distinguish entry-point, exit-route, and destination-service issues without changing unrelated settings repeatedly.
Coverage and Subscription Use
Coverage tells you which regions have resources; it doesn't guarantee a particular result for every app on every exit.
VPNWood covers 110+ countries / 190+ routes and allows unlimited simultaneous connections. The route directory may change as resources are updated, so current information in the panel and client is more useful for connection decisions than a static city reference. If a region isn't listed in the panel, don't assume it's available based on its city name here or treat a nearby region as the same service environment.
Multiple devices can use the same subscription, but each still needs to be configured correctly. Devices on the same local network may share access conditions, while different apps on those devices may use different services and transport methods. Troubleshoot the specific device and task rather than attributing every issue to the same route.
For data options, monthly subscription data resets each month on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated for the remaining days; data packs last until used and never expire. These describe billing and data rules, not dedicated-line types, exclusive exits, or support levels for specific apps. See the plans page for prices and tiers. Don't choose a plan based only on how close a region is.
Accounts use a username and password; no email address is required. Payment methods include Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT, and purchases come with a 60-day money-back guarantee. See the full terms in the refund policy. When using international routes, follow applicable local requirements and the target platform's rules. A network connection service can't replace third-party account access, content licensing, or your organization's security approval.
