The current version of CyberGhost VPN Client has many features to help you protect your privacy and access content in specific countries. To that end, with over 7,100 servers available in more than 90 countries, there are few other services on the market that offer so many options. Cyber ​​Ghost promises strict data protection-Since Romania is headquartered in the European Union, this Romanian company is pleased to accept this commitment. Log files are not saved, providing further protection for service users. To this end, the company has adhered to strict no-log file rules.

You can find out if you can access Disney + through CyberGhost in the test below.

Cyber ​​Ghost VPN: Subscription required

Cyber ​​Ghost VPN requires paid subscriptions from day one. However, the company offers a 45-day money-back guarantee and always protects connections to all CyberGhost servers with strong AES 256-bit encryption. You can also choose between IKEv2, L2TP and OpenVPN protocols.

Cloud-based security

Manual connections to one of more than 7,100 target servers in the User Defined menus on computers and mobile devices are equally valid. Under Windows, a particularly fast server selection can be made directly from the taskbar, but unfortunately, it is missing on the Mac. If required, you can configure the CyberGhost server outside the software-for example, in a compatible and OpenVPN-enabled router or in other VPN programs.

If you don't want to do this manually, use a pre-configured profile to establish a VPN connection. These allow you to choose your destination country and combine a VPN connection with appropriate additional features. These are completely cloud-based ads and malware blockers. Cyber ​​Ghost can also automatically forward to the HTTPS version of the website and prevent the use of cookies for tracking. Cyber ​​Ghost promises that it will also provide all security scanners from its own sources-without using third-party providers.

Cyber ​​Ghost presents itself across platforms in an attractive interface. After our criticism of earlier versions, the menu now looks as simple and neat as the competitor TunnelBear. Fortunately, the over-functionality that primarily caused a lack of overview in the application has been eliminated.

Cyber ​​Ghost and Disney +

Not long ago, we tested various VPN services to see if they could access Disney +. For CyberGhost, we succeeded. However, you may need to replace the server from time to time.

Use CyberGhost VPN to bypass country blocking

Cyber ​​Ghost wants to stand out from the competition, with features that automatically bypass country blocking. Services with numerous servers are positioned for this purpose. In general, the following rules apply: The more servers a service has, the greater the chance that stream providers, etc. cannot identify and block them due to duplicate IP addresses. Cyber ​​Ghost supports Disney +, Hulu, Amazon Video as well as Pandora and Netflix.

However, in the end, if you choose the right (less popular) server, you can get comparable results with other VPN services such as NordVPN.

VPN running speed



CyberGhost server can convince speed comparison. Due to the large number of servers, there are often underutilized servers that allow higher data rates and response times. The maximum download speed of 54 megabits per second (Mbit / s) and the upload speed of 8 Mbit / s per second that we choose for the automatic server is impressive, which is enough in daily application scenarios. Overall, the connection is established quickly.

price

Cyber ​​Ghost currently costs € 2.64 per month. If you decide to book longer, you will pay € 95 (three years). There are currently two more months of free service, which is our recommended package due to price advantage. This usage always works in parallel on seven devices. The company promises a 45-day money-back guarantee.

Application and browser integration

CyberGhost app is available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Fortunately, thanks to the instructions on the company's website, the configuration works even without software installed-for example on devices with different operating systems.

In addition to classic apps, CyberGhost also offers browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. The latter is a simple plugin that bypasses country regions. This is not enough for professional use, but you need a paid version.
