About CyberGhost
CyberGhost is a consumer VPN service that encrypts your internet connection and hides your IP address. It is aimed at individuals who want privacy on public networks and easier access to streaming and gaming services, and it highlights servers tuned for streaming along with a no-logs policy.
Apps are provided for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux, with browser extensions, router support and smart TV options. The vendor offers server locations in many countries, a dedicated IP option, dedicated gaming and sports streaming guidance, and a Windows security suite that adds protection beyond the VPN.
CyberGhost is proprietary software sold by subscription. Its site advertises a 45-day money-back guarantee and a free trial page, and it often runs promotional discounts on longer plans. Current prices and plan details are listed on its buy page.
