Routing in Streisand
Why VPN country routing is needed. It is used to optimize the routing of Internet traffic based on the geographic location of endpoint resources or users. This allows for more flexible and efficient connection management, allowing users to access the resources they need, minimizing latency, and circumventing geographic restrictions.
To add routing to the Streisand app, follow the links below:

The main reasons to use country routing in VPN:
-
Bypassing geographical limitations: Many online services (e.g., streaming platforms, news sites) may restrict access based on the user’s country. Using country-based routing allows you to route traffic through VPN servers located in the correct country to access these resources.
-
Performance Optimization: Directing traffic through servers closer to the user or endpoint can significantly reduce latency and improve connection speeds. This is especially important for online gaming, video conferencing, and other applications that require low latency.
-
Traffic segmentation: Some VPN settings can route traffic for specific countries or services through different servers or networks, providing additional security and control. For example, traffic for banking services can be routed through servers with additional security, while other traffic can go through regular VPN servers.
-
Ensuring confidentiality: In some cases, country routing can be used to evade surveillance or blocking restrictions imposed in specific countries. Routing traffic through servers in another country can hide the user’s location and circumvent restrictions.
-
Load balancing: In large VPN networks, country roaming can be used to distribute the load between servers, which prevents overloading of individual nodes and improves overall network performance.
In this way, country routing allows VPN services to provide more tailored and efficient solutions for users with different needs, whether it is access to content, security, or optimizing speed and latency.
