Exits and route types

First, check whether the country or region suits your needs, then review the city and route type. “Verify” means availability on a specific platform is not guaranteed.

Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific · Route reference
Country / region	City	Route type	Streaming availability
Hong Kong, China	Hong Kong	IEPL	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Singapore	Singapore	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Japan	Tokyo	Direct	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Japan	Osaka	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
South Korea	Seoul	Direct	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Australia	Sydney	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
New Zealand	Auckland	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use

Asia-Pacific exits can be a good starting point for everyday browsing. For Japanese content, confirm that you are using a Japan exit rather than relying on a route label that says “Asia.” A Hong Kong exit does not guarantee access to every platform.

North America

North America · Route reference
Country / region	City	Route type	Streaming availability
United States	Los Angeles	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
United States	Seattle	Direct	Verify on the platform you plan to use
United States	New York	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Canada	Toronto	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use

When accessing North American services, choose an exit region that complies with the service’s rules. Different cities in the same country may use different exit resources. If one route is misidentified by a service, that does not mean the entire region is unavailable.

Europe

Europe · Route reference
Country / region	City	Route type	Streaming availability
Germany	Frankfurt	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
United Kingdom	London	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
France	Paris	Direct	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Netherlands	Amsterdam	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Sweden	Stockholm	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use
Switzerland	Zurich	Relayed	Verify on the platform you plan to use

Europe is not a single content region. Services in the UK, Germany, and elsewhere in Europe may have different requirements. For work, check your organization’s rules on login locations; don’t change account details just to choose a route.

Other regions

Consider these exits when you have a specific regional need; don’t choose one as your default just because it is less common. Geographic distance, upstream routing, and the location of the service all affect performance. Test against the task you need to complete.

Understand the route
Then compare performance

IEPL, relayed, and direct describe how a route is set up, not its speed tier. These explanations clarify the different types; they do not mean every route performs the same way.

IEPL

A managed cross-border transmission path

IEPL generally refers to an international private transmission link delivered over Ethernet. With a subscription service, your device first connects to the service entry point, then reaches an exit over the relevant route. It is not an end-to-end private line from your device to every website. Your local connection, Wi-Fi, and the public internet beyond the exit can all affect performance.

These links generally require more resources and maintenance, making them suitable for office work, meetings, and long sessions where a steady connection matters. If performance fluctuates during peak hours, use one as a comparison—but don’t assume it must outperform other routes just because it is called a “private line.” LCDVPN does not infer additional fees from route names; check the plans page and user panel for actual plan details.

Relayed

Connect through an entry point to reach the exit

A relayed route sends your connection to an entry point first, then on to an exit node. The entry and exit can be in different locations, so check the actual exit—not just the entry point’s name—when determining your access region. Whether a route works well depends on the full path: your local network to the entry point, the entry-to-exit segment, and the exit to the target service.

Relayed routes need additional forwarding resources and path maintenance, but also allow room to adjust the route. They can work for everyday browsing, video, and tools; they are not inherently slower or faster than direct connections. For a useful comparison, keep the target service and local setup the same. Changing your device, region, and client settings at once makes it hard to identify what improved.

Direct

Connect straight to a remote node

Direct usually means the client connects to a remote node without first passing through a dedicated service-side relay. “Direct” does not mean there are no routers on the internet path or that the physical distance is shorter. The actual path depends on your local carrier, peering arrangements, and remote resources, so results can vary across access networks.

Direct connections have a simpler architecture and usually avoid the resource overhead of a dedicated relay layer, but that does not mean the plan costs less. They are worth trying for everyday access and comparing with a relayed route in the same region. If your local international route is already smooth, direct may be enough. If performance fluctuates at peak times, test another route while keeping the exit region the same.

Choose based on your needs
Set your route priorities

Meet the region and service requirements first, then check connection stability. Saving a route that gets the job done is more useful than chasing a single metric.

Everyday browsing

Start with a familiar region; avoid switching without a reason

For websites, research, and regular downloads, start with a familiar exit that complies with the target site’s rules. Check that pages load fully, images appear, and your login stays active. If only one site has a problem, check the site’s status and your client’s routing rules first; there’s no need to move every connection to a more distant region. Once you find a route that works with your local network, keep another path as a backup.

Streaming

Check the catalog region, then test playback

Before streaming, check where the content is available and whether your account and payment settings meet the platform’s requirements. Opening the site, finding a title, and playing it continuously are separate checks. After connecting to the intended exit, open the content and test playback rather than judging by the homepage language. Stop playback before changing routes and, if needed, reopen the app to avoid reusing an old session. See the streaming access guide for more.

AI Tools

Check both region consistency and persistent connections

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and tools that rely on Discord each have their own service-region and account rules. A working connection does not guarantee eligibility to access a service. First confirm that the region you plan to use is supported, then keep the exit settings consistent across your browser, desktop app, and related APIs. If a generation disconnects, check whether persistent connections are staying open and whether your client rules cover the relevant domains. Avoid switching regions repeatedly and resubmitting the same task. For more troubleshooting, see the AI acceleration guide.

Gaming

Test against the game server, not just exit distance

Gaming performance also depends on the game server location, matchmaking, transport method, and fluctuations in your local network. The route types on this page do not guarantee improved gaming performance. Choose a candidate route for your target server region, confirm that the game allows the relevant network setup, then test login, matchmaking, and connection stability outside a high-stakes match. If your client is not routing the game traffic, simply switching exits will not fix the issue. Browser performance is not a reliable measure of how the game will perform.

Work

Follow your organization’s rules and keep a stable work route

Remote meetings, cloud documents, and business systems depend on continuity and a consistent login environment. Test your connection before a meeting or file upload, and avoid changing exits during work. If your work device has dedicated access, security policies, or endpoint management requirements, follow your organization’s configuration rather than adding network tools yourself. If you need help, note the affected app, route name, and what you were doing. Never share passwords, subscription URLs, or sensitive work content.

Verify your connection
Find the source of an issue

Check each layer, from your local connection and client to the exit and target service. Change one thing at a time to keep your test results useful.

Before connecting: check your subscription and client

Check your subscription status in the user panel, then refresh the route list in your client. Names in an old list may no longer correspond to current resources, so a failed connection to an old entry does not mean the region is unavailable. Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux may have different interfaces, but the basic steps are the same: retrieve the subscription, import it, select a route, then confirm that proxying or routing rules are enabled. For your first setup, follow the getting started guide. Find client downloads in the user panel.

After connecting: test a website and your target task separately

Open a regular webpage first to check basic access, then test the app you actually need. Access to international websites in a browser does not mean every desktop app uses the same route; routing rules, app settings, and existing sessions can all cause differences. When checking the exit region, remember that websites may use different IP geolocation databases. Judge suitability by how the target service identifies your connection and whether its features work, not by a single lookup page.

If something goes wrong: keep the region and change the route

If the content requires a specific region, try another route in the same region first. This avoids changing both the region and the path at once. If every option has the same issue, check your local network and the target service’s status. If the problem only occurs over Wi-Fi, try another local connection for comparison; if it only affects one app, check that app’s network rules first. Rapidly switching routes can interrupt existing sessions and make troubleshooting more confusing.

Choosing a plan: follow your data usage, not the number of regions

LCDVPN monthly plans: ¥9.9/month for 60GB, ¥18/month for 250GB, and ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on your activation date. Mid-cycle upgrades are prorated by the remaining days. Data packs cost ¥158 for 300GB, ¥358 for 1000GB, and ¥658 for 3000GB; they last until used and never expire. Don’t assume a plan includes dedicated resources based on this page’s regional directory, or treat a route type as a separate billing period.

Use unlimited devices at the same time, but check connection settings separately for apps on each device. LCDVPN takes an anonymous, no-logs approach to privacy and offers a 14-day refund policy. Payment methods include Alipay, WeChat Pay, and USDT. No email address is required to create an account; use a username and password.
