NovixLink primarily provides US residential IP TikTok VPS services, and has recently launched a US IDC dual-optimized VPS product. The plan was previously available, and its China-facing routes have now been fully optimized. According to the official routing description, China Telecom uses a direct route for the outbound path and AS9929 for the return path, China Unicom uses AS9929 in both directions, while China Mobile uses CMIN2 in both directions.
The service is primarily positioned for use as a US node relay, TikTok livestreaming, cross-border business, access to US domestic streaming services, and access to overseas applications.
This test uses the high-end configuration of the NovixLink US IDC dual-optimized VPS, featuring 4 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, a 40GB SSD, 4000GB monthly traffic, 300Mbps bandwidth, and 1 IPv4 address. The price is CAD 32.99/month.

NovixLink US IDC dual-optimized VPS features:
- US native IP
- US commercial IP classification
- Direct-connect optimized routes for all three major Chinese carriers
- China Telecom: direct outbound route / 9929 return route
- China Unicom: AS9929 in both directions
- China Mobile: CMIN2 in both directions
- Up to 300Mbps bandwidth
- Supports US streaming services and AI platforms
- Suitable for TikTok livestream relay, cross-border business, overseas access, and other applications
It is worth noting that NovixLink previously focused primarily on US residential IP VPS services. This IDC dual-optimized VPS can be used as a relay node for its residential IP VPS products. Some plans previously received free bandwidth upgrades, so the highest 300Mbps version was selected for this test.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS Hardware Performance Test
Hardware testing shows that this VPS uses an Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processor, with 4 CPU cores allocated to the test instance and a CPU frequency of 2.10GHz.
The test results show:
- Memory read: approximately 3925M
- Actual available memory: approximately 4GB
- No default virtual memory detected
- Reported disk capacity: approximately 38.6GB
- Average SSD read/write speed: approximately 363MB/s
Overall, the hardware performance of this VPS is in the mid-range. The Intel Xeon Gold 6230 CPU performs well, while disk I/O performance is average, with no obvious weaknesses.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS Network Speed Test
In domestic single-thread speed tests, the NovixLink US IDC dual-optimized VPS performed well:
- Domestic single-thread upload speeds were generally above 50Mbps
- Domestic single-thread download speeds exceeded 100Mbps in some tests
For overseas speed tests:
- Download speeds were generally above 290Mbps
- Upload speeds were generally above 260Mbps
For a 300Mbps port, the overall bandwidth utilization was relatively high. Both upload and download performance are sufficient for video transmission, livestream relay, and cross-border applications.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS Latency Test
Testing showed an average latency of approximately 164ms from the node to mainland China.
As a US West Coast node, this latency is within the normal range. It is not an ultra-low-latency route, but combined with the three-carrier routing optimizations, the overall network stability was good.
The specific routing details are as follows:
China Telecom:
- Outbound: AS4134 China Telecom 163 backbone, directly connected to Los Angeles
- Return: routed back through China Unicom AS10099 + AS9929 optimized routes
China Unicom:
- Outbound: direct connection via AS9929 optimized route
- Return: routed back via AS9929 optimized route
China Mobile:
- Outbound: direct connection via CMIN2
- Return: direct connection via CMIN2
Overall:
- China Telecom uses a standard direct route outbound and 9929 optimization on the return path
- China Unicom uses AS9929 in both directions
- China Mobile uses CMIN2 in both directions
Except for the China Telecom outbound path, all other directions use high-quality international routes operated by the respective Chinese carriers.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS Network Quality Test
Network quality testing showed:
- Relatively low latency on outbound routes for all three carriers
- China Mobile showed better latency performance
- China Telecom and China Unicom use 9929 routes for the return path
- China Mobile uses CMIN2 for the return path
Latency to other servers in the same Los Angeles data center was low, while connections to other overseas nodes also maintained good network performance.
Packet-loss tests during peak evening hours showed:
- Outbound testing showed essentially no noticeable packet loss
- Both large- and small-packet return-path tests maintained low packet-loss rates
Overall, the VPS demonstrated good network stability during peak evening hours.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS Streaming Unlocking Test
In terms of IP classification, multiple databases identified the test node as a US native IP.
The test results showed:
- US native IP
- Supports access to US TikTok
- Supports US Netflix
- Supports access to US AI platforms
- Supports most US regional streaming services
In terms of streaming service compatibility, the VPS provides good support for US-based services and is suitable for applications requiring a US exit IP.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS IP Classification Test
Residential IP testing showed that this node is not a traditional residential broadband IP.
Testing by multiple databases showed:
- Identified as a US native IP
- Identified as a commercial IP by some databases
- Identified as a data center IP by some databases
- Low IP risk rating
At the same time, some testing databases classified the IP as having commercial bandwidth characteristics rather than being a dual-ISP residential IP.
It should be noted that commercial and residential IPs both have their own use cases. Some US-based TikTok operations, livestreaming, and e-commerce businesses also use commercial network environments, so a commercial IP does not necessarily mean that it cannot be used for these applications.
In terms of IP cleanliness:
- Most databases recognize its US native IP characteristics
- Streaming service unlocking status was good
- AI platform access was relatively comprehensive
Overall, the IP characteristics meet the requirements of a US business exit node.
NovixLink US IDC Dual-Optimized VPS YouTube Playback Test
During the actual video test, a local China Unicom connection was used to access YouTube through the NovixLink US IDC dual-optimized VPS exit. The measured speed reached 130,000+.
Test results:
- 4K video playback was smooth
- No noticeable stuttering during peak evening hours
- Good overall network stability
For a US West Coast optimized route, this speed is within the normal range. Although it is not an extreme-speed result, the combination of low packet loss and three-carrier route optimization makes it suitable for scenarios such as TikTok livestream relay and video transmission.
