Bank-grade encryption, unlimited devices online at once, no email address required to sign up.
From peak-hour congestion to the edges of the refund terms, taken apart one item at a time. Pick a topic on the left, read a section on the right.
Peak-hour differences rarely come from a bandwidth cap; they come from whether a route is congested. IEPL dedicated lines run on a private channel and do not share queues with public egress, so jitter between 20:00 and 23:00 is usually lower than on a standard relay. This service lists its 180+ routes by region and type, so before buying you can see whether a given route is dedicated, relayed or direct, then decide what to run over it: relay routes cost less and suit web pages and documents; dedicated lines suit meetings and real-time collaboration; direct routes suit cases where the destination service is local to that region.
Encryption only covers the transport leg; keeping account information to a minimum matters just as much. This service uses bank-grade encryption end to end, and sign-up asks only for a username and password — no email address. One less piece of information is one less asset to look after. Payment goes through Alipay, WeChat Pay or USDT, and no billing address is collected. The client handles connection settings locally; subscription details live only in your account after sign-in, and signing in on a new device brings them back.
A single subscription covers unlimited devices online at once — phones, tablets, laptops and desktops can all stay connected. At home, each device can use its own route; there is no need to set up a single egress on the router or to swap accounts between devices. On a business trip, the laptop can join a meeting over a dedicated line while the phone browses over a relay, the two routes independent of each other; back at the hotel, switch to the dedicated line without redoing the configuration. Clients are available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux.
Tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are more sensitive to egress IP stability than ordinary websites: if the IP shifts mid-session, re-verification or even a dropped session can follow. Pinning AI tools to a single dedicated line keeps the egress unchanged for the whole session, which feels close to local access. When choosing, check whether the region has an IEPL dedicated line and whether the client supports per-app routing — send only AI tool traffic out and keep the rest local, which saves bandwidth and avoids detours.
Streaming platforms judge your region by egress IP and DNS residency. Use a route in the target region and make sure the client takes over DNS queries as well, otherwise the page may load while the catalogue stays local. 4K playback cares more about bandwidth than latency, and both relay and dedicated routes can handle it; what really hurts is peak-hour congestion and too many users sharing one egress. When picking a route, look at the type and number of routes in that region rather than just the city name.
Subscriptions are prepaid — you pay before you use — so refund terms belong in plain sight. This service offers a 60-day no-questions-asked refund; no reason is required. Data packs last until used up and never expire, so nothing resets to zero at the end of a period. Before committing long term, spend one month on a subscription to check how the routes perform in your city, then consider a data pack; mid-month upgrades are prorated by remaining days, so nothing you have paid for is wasted.
The table below is a small sample of the 180+ routes, listing cities, route types and the streaming services each route supports, grouped by region.

Route type sets the balance between cost and experience. IEPL dedicated lines run on a private channel and do not share queues with public egress, which suits video meetings, real-time collaboration and stability-sensitive apps; relay routes forward once at an intermediate node, cost less, and are plenty for web pages, documents and on-demand video; direct routes add no extra hop and have the lowest latency, but only make sense when the destination service is local to that region.
A sensible order for choosing: first confirm which region the target service sits in, then check whether that region has a dedicated line available, and finally check whether the client can route per app. Send only the traffic that needs to cross borders and keep the rest local — that saves bandwidth and avoids unnecessary detours. A single region often has several routes with different peak-hour behaviour; when one route congests, switching to another type in the same region usually works better than reconnecting over and over. There are 180+ routes in total; the table above lists only representative cities per region.
Latency and bandwidth refresh with each session and are for route selection reference only.
Price is only one of them. Whether routes are described clearly, whether billing is predictable and whether after-sales boundaries are explicit matter more for long-term experience.
A page willing to spell out each route's type — IEPL dedicated, relay or direct — which cities it covers and which streaming services it supports usually means the operator actually controls the routes. A page that says only "global nodes" without types or cities gives you no way to judge whether it fits your case. This service lists its 180+ routes by region and type, so you can compare before choosing.
Monthly plans reset data on the activation date, and mid-month upgrades are prorated by remaining days; data packs last until used up and never expire. Because both rules are stated openly, there is no surprise "data wiped at month end" or "old plan voided after upgrade". The three monthly tiers are ¥9.9 for 60GB, ¥18 for 250GB and ¥28 for 500GB — estimate your own monthly usage when picking, and there is no need to buy the top tier up front.
How long the refund window is, whether a reason is required and which channel the money comes back through should all be checkable before you pay. This service offers a 60-day no-questions-asked refund, with the terms on the refund policy page, so there is no need to confirm them over and over in tickets. Payment is limited to Alipay, WeChat Pay and USDT, and sign-up needs only a username and password — no email address.
Most of the difference between similar services shows up in route types and billing details, not in marketing copy. Compare those three things and you can broadly judge whether a subscription is worth keeping long term; the rest is best settled by actually connecting.
Monthly plans reset data on the activation date each month; data packs last until used up and never expire.
Light use and business trips
Includes 60GB, reset monthly on the activation date
Everyday mainstay
Includes 250GB, reset monthly on the activation date
Multiple devices and 4K
Includes 500GB, reset monthly on the activation date
Data packs (use until they run out, never expire): ¥158/300GB · ¥358/1000GB · ¥658/3000GB.
60GB suits one person travelling or light use: email, documents, the occasional episode. 250GB is the everyday mainstay — a phone and a laptop online at once plus an hour or two of video a day fits comfortably. 500GB suits several devices at home, or frequent 4K viewing. Data resets monthly on the activation date, and mid-month upgrades are prorated by remaining days, so nothing you have paid for is wasted. Data packs suit people whose usage varies: they last until used up, carry no expiry date, and can sit unused until you need them.
