Global Server Locations by Region

For reading websites, research or routine account tasks, first check whether the site requires a specific region. If not, start with a region suited to your destination, then compare direct and relay routes there. Loading the page is only a first check: see whether images, sign-in and page navigation also work smoothly before judging the route.

If only one site is acting up, check its status, account region and browser settings before trying another route in the same region. Frequent region switching can trigger a site’s own account checks and does not necessarily indicate a route problem. Keeping the destination region consistent makes comparisons clearer.

Choose an exit region based on the catalog or account region you need, then test playback on the platform. Streaming services determine availability based on the account, licensing region and network exit, so a route in the target country does not guarantee that a particular title will play. Check each service individually; a region label is not a playback promise.

Do more than check whether the homepage loads. Open the content you want to watch and see if playback starts, quality changes smoothly and buffering stays manageable over time. If a route does not work well, try another path in the same region first; switching regions may also change the catalog. For more on regions and video quality, see our streaming guide.

AI chat and coding assistants need more than a page that loads; they may also need to maintain an ongoing session. After choosing a region supported by your tool, test prompts, follow-up responses and actual workspace tasks—not just the sign-in page. For tools that rely on persistent connections, check for unexpected interruptions. A route that works for browsing may not suit ongoing interaction with the same tool.

If a tool returns an error, first distinguish account permissions and service status from network routing. Keep the account and destination region unchanged while comparing relay, direct and available dedicated routes in that region to limit variables. If only one tool is affected, check its own region and account requirements first. See our AI acceleration guide for more use cases.

First identify the region of the game server, then choose the matching region. Gaming depends on the round-trip route, connection stability and fluctuations in your local network; nearby city names do not guarantee the same responsiveness. Test with the server you actually play on rather than guessing based on country, and check the game’s regional rules before choosing.

Compare route types while connected to the same game server, and check whether other high-bandwidth tasks are using your local network. If one route lags noticeably, try another connection type in the same region. Don’t treat a one-off fluctuation as typical performance. This page does not list fixed latency or bandwidth figures because they cannot represent every user’s connection at a given moment.

Remote meetings, document collaboration and remote desktops depend on consistent sessions. Choose a region based on your company’s systems or collaboration service, then compare routes on the same network. If teammates are in different regions, test each person’s connection separately rather than choosing routes for everyone based on one person’s results.

Before a meeting, test audio, video and screen sharing in the meeting service you use. For remote desktops, check input response and sustained operation. If a connection drops, note the region, route type and what you were doing, then visit the Help Center for troubleshooting steps. VPNZN supports unlimited simultaneous devices, but each device should use a route suited to its own network.
