Servers and Locations<\/h2>\n

CyberGhost has a VPN network consisting of 1400 servers spread across 60 countries<\/strong>. That\u2019s plenty of servers and a good amount of geo-diversity to ensure that you\u2019ll find a good server regardless of your location. For additional information, an overview of the entire network\u2019s servers is available on the official website.<\/p>\n

Usability and Performance<\/h2>\n

Selected CyberGhost servers are fully compatible with torrenting<\/strong> and other P2P services. The same goes for streaming sites like Netflix and BBC iPlayer<\/strong>. You can unblock these sites, but you need to connect to specific VPN tunnels to do so.<\/p>\n

In terms of performance however, various sources show that CyberGhost isn\u2019t as fast as other VPN providers. Noticeable drops in speed are commonly cited among different users. However, with a fast enough internet connection, downloading and streaming HD media should still be plenty comfortable.<\/p>\n

Ease of use is also no issue as CyberGhost is one of the best looking VPNs available<\/strong>. Though UIs vary across operating systems, the overall aesthetic and attention to ergonomics are present in all versions. Good design makes all CyberGhost applications very intuitive to use and a pleasure to navigate.<\/p>\n

Security and Privacy<\/h2>\n

CyberGhost is secured with AES 256-bit data encryption, SHA256 data authentication and RSA-4096 handshakes. The VPN can also be set to use the following protocols: OpenVPN, PPTP, and L2TP-IPsec. Built-in DNS and IP leak protection, along with a kill switch feature, provide additional security. In other words, CyberGhost is about as safe as it gets when it comes to online privacy.<\/p>\n

The company also promises that no logs of users\u2019 data sessions are ever recorded. Their privacy policy states that \u201cthe user’s traffic data such as browsing history, traffic destination, data content and search preferences are not monitored, recorded, logged or stored.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supported Devices<\/h2>\n

CyberGhost lets you simultaneously connect up to 7 devices<\/strong> to their VPN network. That should be more than enough for majority of users. You can also configure your router to connect through CyberGhost tunnels to provide even more connectivity.<\/p>\n

Supported operating systems include Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. You can also use CyberGhost on Linux with the help of third-party applications.<\/p>\n

CyberGhost provides extra features to further protect your internet activities. These include:<\/p>\n
