Route Fundamentals

Choosing Among Three Route Types

Route names describe the primary path used when traffic travels from the local network to the target region. They are not a simple quality ranking: each type emphasizes a different balance of path control, coverage efficiency, and cost.

IEPL

IEPL Dedicated Line

The main benefit of a dedicated line is a more controlled path for cross-border traffic, with fewer unpredictable detours and congestion points found on the public internet. It is better suited to extended video calls, remote work, continuous transfers, and tasks sensitive to connection fluctuations.

Path characteristics
The cross-border segment is more concentrated, with clearer path management.
Best for
Work collaboration, ongoing sessions, important file transfers, and stable streaming.
Cost profile
Carrier resources and route maintenance generally cost more than standard paths.
RELAY

Relay Route

A relay route first sends the connection to a more suitable access point, then uses a relay node to reach the target region. Its value lies in adjusting the combination of entry and exit points, avoiding less suitable routing when the local network connects directly to a distant destination.

Path characteristics
Reorganizes the cross-region path through an access point.
Best for
Everyday browsing, AI tools, content access, and switching between regions.
Cost profile
Balances coverage, path control, and resource costs.
DIRECT

Direct Route

A direct route connects the local network straight to a server in the target region without an additional relay entry point. The structure is simpler and regional coverage can be more flexible, but the actual path depends more on the local carrier, destination data center, and public routing conditions at the time.

Path characteristics
Fewer connection steps, reaching the target region directly.
Best for
Web searches, regional switching, backup connections, and light access.
Cost profile
Makes regional coverage easier to expand, with relatively flexible resource allocation.
Selection Principles

Route types are not a one-way ranking

Dedicated lines prioritize path control, relays prioritize the combination of entry and exit points, and direct routes prioritize coverage flexibility. A nearby direct route may suit a light task better than a distant dedicated line; two relay routes to the same region may also perform differently because their access paths differ.

Choose the destination region first, then select a route type based on whether the task requires a persistent connection, frequent transfers, or region-specific content. If a page opens but video playback is intermittent, sessions disconnect, or file transfers pause, try another route type in the same region instead of immediately switching to a more distant country.

Choose by Use Case

Start with the Task, Then Choose the Region

No single route suits every task. Consider the region, duration, interaction style, and content licensing together; this is more useful than looking at the route name alone.

WEB

Everyday Browsing

When visiting international websites, reading resources, or checking documentation, start with a nearby region. Asia-Pacific entry points are often a practical first choice for users in mainland China; if a site serves different regional versions, select the country or region associated with the target content.

These tasks mainly involve short connections and page responsiveness, so try a relay or direct route first. If images, scripts, or attachments do not load fully, switch to another path in the same region. Avoid testing several distant regions in succession, or changes in the local network and destination site will be mixed together and the cause will be harder to identify.

Consider first Nearby relay / direct
MEDIA

Streaming and Content Access

Choose the exit region based on where the content is offered, then check the streaming support marker in the route table. A supported marker means the route may work as a regional entry point, but visible content is also affected by the platform account region, rights library, and the platform’s own rules.

Streaming is a continuous-transfer task, so route stability matters more than initial loading speed. Prefer an IEPL dedicated line or relay route in the relevant region, and confirm the content region before playback. If you can access the platform but its library is unexpected, check the account and exit region first instead of repeatedly changing protocols.

Consider first Region-matched dedicated line / relay
AI

AI Tools

AI tools often involve login, long-form output, file uploads, and persistent sessions at the same time. First confirm which regions the target service supports, then choose a relatively stable entry point. For short text queries, a nearby relay is usually sufficient; for longer outputs or file processing, try a dedicated line in the same region.

If login works but the session stops midway, keep the exit region unchanged and switch to another route type in that region. Frequently changing countries can trigger server-side session checks and make the browser’s regional state inconsistent with the current exit. For stable use, keeping a regular region is usually easier to troubleshoot than choosing randomly each time.

Consider first Stable relay / IEPL dedicated line
GAME

Gaming Connections

Gaming depends more on continuous interaction and the location of the target server. Confirm the game region first, then choose an entry point geographically closer to it. A route labeled as a dedicated line is not automatically suitable for every game; if the exit is far from the game server, the path may still be significantly longer.

During testing, keep the game region, device network, and route region unchanged, replacing only the route type within that region. This helps distinguish issues caused by the local wireless network, the international path, or the game server. Some games also assign servers based on account region, so check the selected account region before entering the game.

Consider first Dedicated line / relay near the target region
WORK

Remote Work

Video meetings, online documents, code repositories, and remote desktops create several types of connections at once. For work, do not judge performance only by whether a single webpage opens; check that meetings, file synchronization, and persistent sign-ins all remain stable. When target services are concentrated in one region, keep a dedicated line or relay entry point there.

If the team’s services are spread across regions, choose a route closer to the primary work systems and let other lightweight sites share the connection. Avoid switching regions just before an important meeting or file transfer. Keeping the device, network, and exit consistent reduces disruption from account-region changes and connection rebuilding.

Consider first Fixed-region IEPL dedicated line
Troubleshooting Order

Change One Condition at a Time

Choosing a route is not about switching randomly over and over. Keep the conditions comparable so you can identify which part of the path is affecting the task.

REGION

Set the Target Region

Start by checking where the website, content library, game region, or work system is located. If the service has no specific regional requirement, begin with a nearby entry point; when regional content matters, use the region where that content is offered.

ROUTE

Choose a Route Type

For persistent sessions and important transfers, consider a dedicated line or relay first; for short browsing sessions and regional switching, try direct first. The route type should serve the task, so there is no need to always pursue the same label.

VERIFY

Verify the Actual Task

Do not use a homepage loading as your only conclusion. For streaming, open the actual content; for AI tools, complete one continuous session; for work, check meetings and file synchronization; for gaming, enter the relevant region.

SWITCH

Switch Within the Same Region

If the task is unstable, keep the country and city unchanged and switch only between dedicated, relay, and direct routes. This reduces interference from regional differences and account status when evaluating the result.

Usage Notes

A Route List Does Not Guarantee a Fixed Result

The Local Network Can Change Entry Performance

The actual path of the same international route may differ depending on the local carrier, access method, and network environment. Home broadband, office networks, and public wireless networks may also use different exit strategies. Results on other devices are therefore only a reference; complete the actual task on the current device and network for the most relevant result.

If several regions fail at the same time, first check whether the local network can access commonly used websites, then reconnect the client. Only when the issue appears in one target region should you replace the route type within that region. This order helps avoid mistaking a local network failure for a remote server issue.

The Exit Region and Account Region Should Match

Streaming services, AI tools, app stores, and some work systems may consider account details, content licensing, browser state, and the current exit at the same time. A successful connection only confirms that the network path is established; it does not automatically change the account’s region. If the content differs from expectations, check the account settings first, then confirm that the exit country matches the target content.

For long-term use of the same service, keep one regular region and reserve other regions for specific content needs. Frequent cross-region switching increases session rebuilding and regional-state changes, which can make access less stable. When switching is necessary, exit the target service first, change the route, and then enter again.

Different Devices Can Use Different Routes

AmdVPN supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux with unlimited devices. Devices may have different roles and do not all need to use the same exit. For example, a work computer can use a stable route near collaboration systems, a tablet can use the content’s region, and a mobile device can prioritize a nearby entry point.

When several devices run in parallel, record the region and route type used by each device separately. If an issue occurs, identify the specific device first rather than changing every connection at once. Separate management reduces interference and makes it easier to determine whether an app is affected by account region, system network permissions, or the current route.

Subscription Rules and Route Selection Are Separate

Route type determines the connection path, while a plan determines the available traffic allowance; they are separate concepts. Monthly plans include ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB. Traffic resets monthly on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated by the remaining days. Choose a dedicated, relay, or direct route based on the task itself.

There are also use-until-finished, never-expiring data packages: ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB. If you mainly check resources occasionally, choose a data allowance based on usage frequency; for regular streaming, file transfers, or shared use across devices, consider your actual traffic needs. All options include a 14-day no-questions-asked refund.
