About CyberGhost

CyberGhost is a VPN company founded in 2011, based in Bucharest, Romania. It’s one of the VPNs owned by Kape Technologies, a cybersecurity company, which is based in the Isle of Man, in the UK. Fun fact, aside from CyberGhost VPN, Kape Technologies is the actual owner of ZenMate VPN, Private Internet Access (PIA), and ExpressVPN. The company (Kape Technologies) has more than 6,100 servers in 88 countries and uses several VPN protocols

Feature of CyberGhost VPN

The main features of CyberGhost VPN are:

Global Servers

Ironclad Security

Anonymity

Protection

Netflix

Complete Access

Lightning-Fast Connections

24/7 Customer Support

Global Servers

CyberGhost currently has around 9,586 servers, in 91 countries and 115 different locations. It has had a lot of good reviews in this aspect because of its availability for users in different locations. It’s especially convenient for users who travel around.

Ironclad Security

CyberGhost has promised its users the best security feature that they could think of. In other words, users don’t need to worry about Microsoft’s data collection on their Windows device, since CyberGhost has developed a 4-in-1 security privacy center; which includes: a VPN, Antivirus, Security Updater, and a Privacy Guard.

Their users also enjoy world-class protocols and military-grade AES 256- bit encryption. So you can communicate, download work, and surf the net without worrying about the government, digital crooks, cybercriminals, and advertisers, getting their hands on your data.

And even in situations where your VPN tunnels drop due to a malfunction, CyberGhost will automatically kill your internet connection. This ensures that your data isn’t leaked even in situations of software issues.

The VPN also gives you the authority to decide which app goes through your regular internet connection or use CyberGhost’s VPN tunnel.

Anonymity

People love their privacy a lot, and this is one of the major reasons that contributed to the popularity of VPNs. Like I’m yet to see a person who doesn’t freak out when discovering that people have been spying on them for a while.

CyberGhost VPN has promised its users the best privacy, and the utmost secrecy in their web activities. They no longer need to worry about their web traffic, search preferences, browsing history, and downloads. Your location, IP address, or personal information can’t be accessed without your consent.

And it even gets better, after we reviewed CyberGhost VPN, we discovered that they’re based outside of surveillance alliances. So users don’t need to worry about whether or not the government has their records. And they also have a strict no-logs policy, so they will never store your data or online activities.

They even own the DNS service they use, could you believe that?

Protection

Do you happen to use various devices at the same time? Well, fret not, cause the same account/subscription can be used on 7 different devices at the same time.

And what if you have more than 7? maybe around 8 or 9? well, you could simply install CyberGhost onto your router, which will in turn safeguard the entire network. Though I can’t imagine a person using more than 5 or 6 devices at once.

Netflix

What about Netflix? The users can watch any Netflix version from anywhere on the whole. And not just Netflix, but most

Complete Access

My review CyberGhost VPN after weeks of study proved that it doesn’t censor anything. Like it gives you access to anything and everything you want to access.

Take Netflix for instance, unlike certain VPNs, which mostly grant you access to their US or UK branch movies, CyberGhost grants you access to them all. So you can bypass internet censorship and network blocks, or you can stream any worldwide content like UFC fights, NBA games, etc.

Lightning-Fast Connections

A VPN would be useless if the internet connection isn’t fast, stable and reliable. And with CyberGhost VPN, you do not need to worry. So you play games online, stream videos in full HD, browse and upload files all with no problems, and stress-free. This feature alone makes it one of the best VPNs out there.

24/7 Customer Support

Having a discreet, fast, and reliable VPN, doesn’t make it the best VPN. Well sure, it might make it a good VPN, more reliable than most, but that doesn’t make it the best.

Once in a while, you might have a suggestion or even a complaint. Maybe your app stopped working after an update, or you can’t seem to find or activate a feature. Who do you call? You call customer support.

And for a VPN that’s being used in over 91 countries, you can’t expect the time zone of your users to be the same. And the best way to avoid customers switching to another VPN is through having a functioning customer support service, which functions 24/7.

Well, CyberGhost has functioning customer support, which works whenever they’re called. They can be called up for any issue or question concerning their products. And get this, they can also respond to your calls in your desired language like French, Russian, Spanish, etc.

How does CyberGhost compare with your favorite VPNs?

After studying CyberGhost, I decided to compare NordVPN, and Surfshark VPN, just to know which of these popular VPNs is better.

And NordVPN won overall. It’s faster, offer more security feature, and even better app. Even the support for streaming services is better. And it’s less expensive when compared to CyberGhost.

CyberGhost wins this one. It has more servers which translates to more coverage and faster connections. It’s available in 91 countries though Surfshark mentioned being available in over 100 countries. But considering that they only have around 3200 servers unlike CyberGhost which has 9,294, I’m not quite sure of how true that claim is.

Compatibility with Tor

Yes, CyberGhost works with the Tor Browser. You just have to pick a server to encrypt your internet traffic, open up the Tor Browser, and start surfing. And you can contact their customer service for more information or aid.

Pricing – Is it worth it?

It’s a little bit expensive, with a monthly subscription of $12.99. A 6 monthly subscription at $41.94, is charged at $6.99 per month. And their best offer of 2 years and 2 months at $56.94 charged at $2.19 per month.

The pricing isn’t the cheapest, but it’s also not the costliest. Though that’s my own opinion.

Supporting Operating Systems

Your Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, Smart TV, Firestick, or Gaming Consoles, as long as the device can install third-party software, and connect to the internet, CyberGhost will work on it. So there’s no need to overthink whether or not it’ll be supported by your device.

Pros & Cons

Every VPN has one or two problems or challenges that its users face when using them. It’s just a matter of whether the problem can be ignored.

Con Aspect

Let’s discuss the cons first. The problem I discovered both from my study and review of CyberGhost VPN is location. Yes, the company indeed has 9000+ servers, scattered all over the world, but that doesn’t mean that it’s in every location and every country.

Some countries have about a dozen, some even less than that, which is hardly enough coverage for the whole country. It may serve a city or two but not the whole country. And you’ll also notice that the speed is drastically reduced in those countries.

So my advice to you is, to check if the servers in your country are enough and if there is even a server in your country to start with before you spend your money subscribing to a plan.

Pro Aspect

CyberGhost has a lot of features to offer its users, which I’m sure they’ll find extremely satisfying. You’ve probably seen my review on the cons, and realized that so long as you live in a city or country, and the number of servers available is enough for the whole country, then you can enjoy the VPN and all it has to offer.

Below are some extra features available on the VPN:

Automatic Kill Switch

Unlimited Bandwidth & Traffic

Ad/malicious Content Blocking

DNS & IP Leak Protection

Streaming

P2P Sharing

Supporting up to 7 devices

OpenVPN, L2TP-IPsec & PPTP Protocols
