Route Types
Three route types, choose by scenario
Route type determines connection stability and latency. NZVPN offers three types: IEPL dedicated lines, relay routes, and direct routes. Choose the one that fits your use case.
IEPL Dedicated Line
Low latency, high stability
IEPL (International Ethernet Private Line) uses point-to-point dedicated links. Traffic does not traverse the public internet; the carrier provides end-to-end bandwidth directly. Compared with regular routes, IEPL dedicated lines maintain low latency and low packet loss even during peak evening hours, with less connection fluctuation. Ideal for video conferencing, online gaming, remote work, and other scenarios that demand high stability.
Relay Route
Balanced choice
Relay routes forward traffic through relay servers, optimizing routing paths for cross-border scenarios and reducing connection latency and packet loss. Compared with direct routes, relay routes are more stable during peak evening hours; compared with IEPL dedicated lines, they cost less and cover more regions. Suitable for most scenarios such as daily browsing, streaming, and accessing AI tools.
Direct Route
Budget-friendly
Direct routes connect directly to the target server without passing through relay nodes, making them the most cost-effective option. When local network quality is good and cross-border links are not congested, direct routes can provide sufficient speed. Suitable for email, news browsing, and light office work where latency is not critical. If you experience unstable connections, you can switch to a relay route at any time without changing plans.
Each route type has its strengths: IEPL dedicated lines prioritize stability and suit latency-sensitive scenarios; relay routes balance cost and stability, covering most use cases; direct routes are the most affordable and fit light usage. If you are unsure which to choose, start with the default relay route. If it works well, keep using it; if you need lower latency, switch to an IEPL dedicated line.

Route Stability
Factors affecting route stability
Route stability is determined by multiple factors: route type, peak-hour scheduling, local network quality, and more. IEPL dedicated lines use point-to-point dedicated links and are less affected by public internet congestion; relay routes reduce packet loss by optimizing routing; direct routes rely more on the local network environment.
NZVPN automatically schedules routes during peak evening hours, prioritizing bandwidth for core nodes. If you experience connection fluctuations, try switching routes or contact support for help.
Note: Route latency varies with local network, physical distance, and time of day. NZVPN uses route scheduling and bandwidth assurance to keep connections as stable as possible.
Route Selection Advice
Choose routes by use case
Different use cases have different requirements for routes. Below are recommendations for common scenarios to help you quickly choose the right route type.
Daily Browsing
Scenarios like reading news, searching, and email are not latency-sensitive. Direct routes are sufficient. If you experience unstable connections, switch to a relay route at no extra cost.
Streaming
Streaming requires high bandwidth and stability. Relay routes can smoothly play 1080p in most cases, meeting most viewing needs. For 4K quality, an IEPL dedicated line is recommended to reduce buffering and quality switching.
AI Tools
AI tools like ChatGPT require stable connections. Relay routes effectively optimize cross-border paths and reduce the likelihood of connection drops. Users in some regions are advised to use IEPL dedicated lines for a more stable session experience.
Gaming
Gaming is most sensitive to latency and packet loss. IEPL dedicated lines provide point-to-point dedicated links with lower latency and less fluctuation, suitable for multiplayer competitive and real-time gaming.
Office Work
Office scenarios such as video conferencing and file transfer need stable upstream bandwidth. IEPL dedicated lines remain stable during peak evening hours, reducing lag and disconnections.
The above recommendations are based on common use cases of most users. Actual network environments vary. We suggest trying it out first and choosing the route type based on your experience. NZVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can get a full refund if you are not satisfied after the trial.
