Adding a VPN to our online activity added a sense of improved privacy and helps us protect our digital identity, especially when connecting on public networks.

Pros

CyberGhost is easy to set up, very intuitive, and affordable. The browsing speed is great, it has a kill switch that avoids any IP leak if the VPN disconnects unintentionally. You can choose what country you want to connect to or let the app take care of it. The auto-connect on startup allows you to 'forget' and not have to worry about turning on your VPN every time you start up your machine.
By using the Wireguard protocol, Cyberghost can also block predefined content (ads, trackers, malware). I also tend to trust VPNs based outside of the jurisdiction of the "14 Eyes Alliance"

Cons

sometimes Cyberghost has a little trouble connecting, and it also, although rarely, completely fails to connect.
Split tunneling is not available on Mac, it's a great feature that allows the user to let some apps and websites access the internet without going through the VPN (some websites go crazy when they see you connect from a server abroad to access their services and have you go through a lot of unnecessary hassle just to make sure it's you...

A trusted VPN if you are looking for paid VPN solution

CyberGhost is good when you are a premium subscriber of the software. Like most other VPNs, it's only cheaper when you buy a multi-year plan from them. It's hard to beat CyberGhost in terms of performance, however, if your task is limited, you may find good and cheaper alternatives. The CyberGhost windows app has gotten a lot faster now than it was before. The earlier versions sometimes did cause my windows to halt. I don't see that issue anymore with the versions of the last few years. My experience with CyberGhost has always been good.

Pros

I think CyberGhost probably has the most number of servers worldwide and covers all countries around the world. (I'm not 100% certain about that, but they cover way too many countries.) The company is decades old. At least that's how long I've known this VPN. That's a very important trust factor for me. The company has evolved from just a VPN to a complete security solution. For a Paid VPN, this is definitely one of the best VPNs in the world in terms of Speed and reliability.

Cons

Previously they had a limited-feature free-VPN plan, which many users prefer when they have a very limited task to accomplish with the VPN. If you are not a regular user, you would not want to spend money on a VPN. The Free VPN however, had many limitations, such as speed throttling, waiting in queue to get connected, data limits etc. I think they probably have got rid of that. That's a disappointment for me.

Hotspot Shield VPN

Reasons for Switching to CyberGhost VPN

While I always used the free versions of Hotspot Shield and CyberGhost, after a certain time I got frequently disconnected from Hotspot Shield. I also found the number of servers and features in CyberGhost more promising, so I decided to give the premium version of CyberGhost a chance. I can tell you, over the years I have observed that CyberGhost has only become better and better. I'm disappointed they no longer offer free VPN, but I can say for sure, that they are a reliable VPN when you need one.

Overall it's a good product that will get the job done. You can feel secure using this service. There's tons of others that do the exact same thing but are more difficult to activate. The non tech savvy folks in my office can use it with no problem, so you know it's easy to use.

Pros

How easy it was to activate the VPN when needed on the fly.

Cons

I found from time to time the connection to my office desktop would be spotty when using cyberghost. I can confirm it was the VPN as I'm using a new service and haven't had the same issues.

Cyberghost has given me a real sense of security online. I "connect and forget" and let it do the job.

Pros

CyberGhost is a user-friendly VPN service app with many features. It includes the latest WireGuard with great speed (which allows you to turn on an additional layer of security by blocking DNS domains used by ads, malware, and trackers.
Cyberghost can unblock Amazon Prime and Netflix. I had to disconnect and reconnect the VPN and refresh the page once or twice, but it was never too annoying.
Cyberghost makes sure nothing can leak whenever it disconnects by blocking the incoming connection (kill switch).

An extended subscription saves money, so the longer you commit, the cheaper the VPN service becomes. And for as low as $2.23 a month, you get a great product.

I also like how easy it is to identify which servers are the least busy by quickly checking the server load percentage figure next to each country server.

Cons

no exception option to let an app connect or not through the VPN.

Broadly it's a great piece of kit. Notwithstanding the issues I perceive with account management and the lack of live chat support (which may change) it has a wide selection of servers around the world. It will come on automatically and it's easy to put further controls in to secure your connection. Quick and easy to change country/server.

Pros

Has loads of servers which you can choose individually and it will remember your choice if you so desire

Cons

The user name and password and managing your account are complicated by lots of unique user input which makes it secure but I felt was unnecessarily complicated. Plus no support live chat button.

Overall experience has been phenomenal with CyberGhost no matter where you are you can create your own secure network to connect and do your work.

Pros

There are a ton of features the software brings with it, to start with the most useful is connecting to a VPN Server of listed countries which makes it easy to access content which is not available in your home country. Secondly it provides protection against malicious websites even if you accidentally get redirected to one. Thirdly the ad-blocker feature is a life saver when you have to access some useful websites fully loaded with advertisements blocking your way every time with a pop-up. Last but not the least the most useful feature if you are on a metered connection you can enable Data Compression feature which saves you the data for all the day.

Cons

For few countries you'll be able to connect but your internet will stop working with the VPN. Though it provides value for money but you can connect up to only 7 devices under one username which i believe should be a little more nearer to 10.

Excellent VPN, very simple to install and easy to use. Would suit someone using a VPN for the first time, no technical understanding required at all. Just start it up and you're protected. Only niggle is that it doesn't always start up automatically, and the kill switch, which disconnects the internet if the VPN goes down, doesn't always work.

CyberGhost is a VPN that I would recommend without hesitation for those who want to surf safely, avoid territorial blocks and enjoy streaming. If a service blocks them, the team gets to work and usually fixes the problem quickly. Also the price-performance ratio is very good.

Pros

I tryied this VPN for about 6 months and what I like about it are the following:
- The ability to view the entire US Netflix catalogue: There are several optimized servers (in the "For Streaming" section) for the US, UK, Germany, France, and Italy. We also tried the BBC site and had no problems connecting to the UK server.
- Excellent speed and low latencies
- Possibility to watch Spanish TV channels from abroad via a server in Spain
- There are no restrictions on download, P2P or streaming.
Also it's very secure, there is a solid privacy policy.

Cons

This vpn is not the best option for countries with high censorship. The censorship in China, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates cannot be circumvented. If you live there, ExpressVPN (among other things) is a better choice.

CyberGhost encrypts my connection to surf the Internet anonymously. The most important benefit is that it allows me to upload or download data at a high speed and with unlimited bandwidth. Since I use this VPN I can enter the websites that were blocked by geographical restriction.

Pros

CyberGhost has a wide variety of servers around the world, which I value very much. The user interface is easy to configure. Another feature that is very important to me is that you can connect more than one device at a time. I also emphasize that the software is available on different platforms, so you can use Windows, Linux, Mac, Android or iOS.

Cons

What bothers me is that when a location is full of users, I have to wait for the server to reduce the number of connected people so that it is my turn to connect.

Pros

This app was reliable and worked each time I asked it to, it was easy to deploy but the interface wasn't very automated and there were a few more features accessible that either needed an explanation or needed a way to "save changes" so it would be easier to keep track of preferences.
