Platform and region support table

View route regions →

VPNLJ covers 90+ countries and 190+ routes, but that coverage is not a list of platforms we’ve confirmed will work. Current information doesn’t include playback test results for every platform and region, so the table below does not mark any combination as confirmed. Regions and routes are examples for choosing what to test; they do not guarantee access to a full catalog, membership features or specific titles.

The app routing examples show Netflix via Singapore, Disney+ via Australia, and YouTube via Hong Kong. These illustrate split tunneling; they are not playback test results. Check current route details in the dashboard, platform notices and playback of the title you want.

Swipe horizontally on narrow screens to view the full table.

Regions and routes to test — not a confirmed access list
Platform Region reference Support status Suggested route and what to verify
Netflix Singapore Playback needs to be tested Try a route via Singapore; test the title you want, not just the homepage.
Disney+ Australia Playback needs to be tested Try a route via Australia; also check your account region and content access.
HBO Max United States; check local service eligibility Unconfirmed If the dashboard lists a route for your target region, check the local service and membership eligibility.
Hulu United States; check the specific service Unconfirmed Check your account and the service’s terms first; a US exit IP alone doesn’t confirm support.
YouTube Premium Hong Kong, shown as a YouTube route example only Membership features unconfirmed Try a route via Hong Kong; assess regular video playback and Premium eligibility separately.
Prime Video Depends on the service region linked to your account Unconfirmed No recommended route is specified in the current information; first check membership, rental or purchase access, and title availability.
BBC iPlayer Target service region not confirmed Unconfirmed The current information doesn’t confirm support for this region or playback. Don’t infer availability from overall coverage.

What streaming access really means

Streaming “access” usually means a platform recognizes your current region and lets your account play content licensed there. It doesn’t replace a platform membership or put every title in one catalog. Licensing, account region, membership tier, device capabilities and exit region all affect the outcome; the network route handles only the connection.

Check region detection and content access separately

A platform may use your exit IP to determine your region, along with account details, billing region and session data. A change in interface language or homepage artwork after switching routes only shows that some page content changed. Search for the specific title, open its details and start playback, then check for region restrictions or proxy warnings.

You can’t determine YouTube Premium eligibility just by checking whether regular videos play, or infer Prime Video rental and purchase access from the membership homepage. For HBO Max, Hulu or BBC iPlayer, check local service rules and account eligibility too. A route won’t grant subscription access or change content licensing.

Make sure split tunneling covers playback requests

VPNLJ’s split-tunneling approach routes selected apps through an international route for the relevant region, while everyday websites in mainland China stay on the local network. Playback can involve separate requests for sign-in, the title catalog, media files and authorization. If only homepage requests match the rule and media requests take another route, the catalog may load while the video won’t play.

Split-tunneling example · Playback not verified

Netflix → Singapore · via relay

Everyday websites in mainland China → local network

When testing, check the full request path for the target app. Don’t assume every app uses the same exit as your browser.

To troubleshoot, temporarily compare rule-based and global modes to see whether a missing rule is causing the issue. Then switch back to the mode that suits your everyday use. If a browser and a standalone app behave differently, check whether each follows the current proxy settings. One working app doesn’t mean the other is routed correctly.

Native IPs and residential IPs

“Native IP” isn’t defined consistently across service descriptions; it often refers to the relationship between an IP’s registered location and where it’s used. “Residential IP” usually means an address from a residential broadband network. “Dedicated IP” describes how an address is assigned. These terms refer to different things, aren’t interchangeable and don’t guarantee platform recognition.

Platforms may use their own IP databases and risk checks. An IP’s registered region matching your expectations doesn’t mean the platform will classify it the same way, and residential network origin doesn’t prevent verification checks. Results can change when a platform updates its IP classifications, even if the exit IP stays the same.

VPNLJ’s current service information doesn’t promise native, residential or dedicated IPs, so this page doesn’t list them as plan benefits. When choosing a route, check the region and route type shown in the dashboard, then test playback against your needs rather than comparing labels alone.

Route type and exit IP identity are different things

IEPL, relay and direct connections describe how a connection is routed. They help explain how data reaches an exit, but the name alone can’t tell you whether it’s a residential or data center network. An IEPL label doesn’t guarantee playback on any platform either. First verify regional eligibility, then compare playback stability and responsiveness at the times you plan to watch.

Playback requirements for 4K and Dolby Vision

What 4K needs from a network goes beyond a high speed test result. Video encoding, content complexity and a platform’s adaptive streaming all affect sustained bandwidth needs. A short speed test peak can’t show whether a full title will play smoothly. If playback starts clearly but the quality keeps dropping, check sustained throughput and network fluctuations instead of chasing a higher peak.

Each platform has its own membership, device and connection requirements for video quality. This page doesn’t set a universal bandwidth threshold or guarantee a particular route’s video quality. Check the platform’s current help documentation and player diagnostics, and test loading, seeking and sustained playback during your usual viewing hours.

Dolby Vision depends on the entire device chain

Dolby Vision is an HDR format. The source, platform app, account eligibility, playback device, display and connection must all be compatible. A working network connection only makes content delivery possible; it can’t give an unsupported display the format. A Dolby Vision label on a title doesn’t mean the current session is outputting it.

If video quality falls short, first check whether the platform supports that quality on your device. Then review the player’s data usage settings, data-saving options and device capabilities. Congested Wi-Fi, background downloads or an incompatible display connection can also limit playback. Compare routes using the same device and title to avoid unrelated variables.

Common errors and troubleshooting steps

Before making changes, note the platform, full error message, app in use and selected route region. Don’t change regions, sign out and clear all data at once; even if playback resumes, you won’t know which change helped. Check the platform’s current help page for the precise meaning of an error code. The suggestions below help narrow down what to investigate.

Connection errors: for example, Netflix NW-2-5

These messages often point to a connection issue between your device and Netflix. They don’t necessarily mean your account is invalid or that access is restricted by region. First check that your local network can reach other websites, then confirm the client is connected and the target app matches a routing rule. If other apps work but this platform doesn’t, check the app’s route and DNS resolution.

Local app data errors: for example, Netflix UI-800-3

These errors often involve app data stored on your device. Follow the platform’s instructions for your device to restart the app or refresh the session, then consider signing out and back in. Clearing app data may require you to verify your account again, so it shouldn’t be the default response to every playback issue. Switching routes alone may not fix a local data problem.

Proxy warnings, unavailable regions and missing titles

If you see a proxy warning, first confirm the target app is using the exit region you selected, then check whether the dashboard offers another route in that region. An unavailable region may also relate to account eligibility; if only one title is missing, check its licensing first. These issues shouldn’t all be attributed to insufficient route speed.

Black screen, audio only or repeated buffering

If the screen is black but audio plays, check content protection, display connections and app compatibility. For repeated buffering, look at your local Wi-Fi, background transfers and sustained route performance. To get help, sign in to the dashboard and submit a support ticket with the error and steps you’ve tried. Don’t include passwords, subscription links or other credentials.

Streaming data use and plan selection

Streaming can use data continuously; actual usage depends on video quality, encoding, content and platform settings. This page doesn’t convert plan data into a fixed number of viewing hours. Before choosing, check your typical usage in the app or dashboard, then decide whether monthly resets or data that never expires better suits your viewing habits.

Monthly plans: ¥9.9/month for 60GB · ¥18/month for 250GB · ¥28/month for 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date; mid-cycle upgrades are prorated for the remaining days. Pay-as-you-go data never expires: ¥158/300GB · ¥358/1000GB · ¥658/3000GB.

Unlimited simultaneous devices doesn’t mean each device gets a separate plan data allowance; check usage in the dashboard before you start. Streaming platforms may also limit simultaneous playback or account sharing. Those limits are set by the platforms and aren’t changed by VPNLJ’s device policy.

VPNLJ requires no email address; create an account with a username and password. Payment options include Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT, and there’s a 7-day refund policy. Get the client and subscription through the user dashboard. To see if the service suits your viewing needs, test with your target platform, title, everyday devices and usual viewing times.

Review routes and billing

The network page explains regions and route types; the plans page compares data allowances and billing. Always verify platform playback under current conditions.
