Stays online at evening peak
Evening peak is what cross-border links handle worst. Asia-Pacific traffic runs mainly on IEPL dedicated lines, leaving through a dedicated line from the entry point rather than the most congested parts of the public internet. Europe and North America use relay routes for redundancy, so when one route comes under pressure you can switch to another in the same region. The 180+ routes are grouped by region, and most regions offer three or more, which makes real-world availability between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. noticeably better than setups with only a single route to fall back on. Switching takes one click in the client — no reconfiguration.
