IEPL
How cross-border traffic is routed
IEPL generally refers to an international private link delivered over Ethernet. Compared with routes that rely entirely on public internet routing, a dedicated link emphasizes planned capacity and greater control over specific network segments. Connections from your device to the access point, and from the exit to the destination service, may still use public networks. An IEPL label does not mean every part of the connection uses a private link.
These routes may suit use cases where a consistent connection matters, such as remote collaboration, extended sessions with interactive tools, and workflows that can be disrupted by congestion. Dedicated transport resources and operations typically cost more, but a higher cost does not guarantee faster responses from a destination website. The site’s own processing time, your local Wi-Fi quality, and routing between the exit and the site also affect performance.
First confirm the region where the service you want to use is available, then compare routes under the same conditions. Switching to a dedicated route may not help if your local network is already experiencing significant packet loss. See the plans page for pricing; don’t assume there’s an extra charge based on the route type alone.
