CyberGhost VPN

CyberGhost was launched in 2011 and is based in Romania. The VPN now boasts over 30 million users across the world.

You judge yourself, here’re some key facts:

• It has a total of 5654 servers spread over 50 countries. The UK boasts 865 servers followed closely by 818 in the US. In simple words – it’s fast!
• It supports OpenVPN, IKEv2, and L2TP/IPSec with military-grade AES-256 encryption for secure connections.
• Downloadable popular platforms: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, FireTV, AndroidTV, and selected routers.
• Unlimited bandwidth and up to 7 simultaneous device connections from one account.

The only Cons I could find are:

• CyberGhost doesn’t work in China;
• The connection speed can be unstable in some locations;

After testing out CyberGhost extensively, I found that it ticks all the right boxes of a decent VPN. CyberGhost offers highly-secure VPN connections that keep users safe on the Internet.

Cyberghost is owned by Kape Technologies (formerly known as Crossrider), a company which became notorious as an adware/malware producer, founded by Koby Menachemi, a former isralan spy.

Kape Technlogies own also ZenMate and have recently acquired Private Internet Access.

Came across this software whilst looking for an alternative VPN. The reviews online ranked it as one of the best free VPN's out there, but I have yet to see that. The software insists on staying in the system tray and then does not work. I have tried several times to connect to it but it just never seems to be able to, leaving me on hold.

I would not trust http://bestvpnreviews.com. They currently have VPN4All as the best reviewed Premium VPN, but VPN4All has been known to post fake likes and comments at Alternativeto.net! Everyone can, without registering write a "review", and this seems to be exploited by some of the companies offering the services.

Very good and easy to use software which protects your privacy online, they offer free and premium service, both having the great advantage of extremly fast servers!
They recently added US servers to their 40 German servers which now makes them very useful for service working with geo-location (you know the usual "this content is not availible in your country" stuff).
Give it a try, nice piece of software.

Hi Guys,

I´m using CG for quite a while now (For privacy reasons, especially in Germany). I love the simplicity of it, login - connect and you are in. I tested my ip on some ip checking sites: Almost none of them got my real ip.

It´s completely free, but I would suggest upgrading to premium if you want to download several things anonymously, as it has a much higher bandwidth -> no must though.

Bye
