That server count puts CyberGhost VPN around 1,000 servers ahead of the nearest top-five competitor (PureVPN), more than 2,000 servers ahead of popular-pick NordVPN and has more than the combined server count of ExpressVPN and Hotspot Shield. Servers are located in 91 countries and with 7,900+ server options to choose from, you’re never short of choices. The only real hiccup I had was a 10-minute period where the server list refused to load. ![]() The descriptive font beneath each of these values does bleed color-wise into the background, but that isn’t the case with the menus, which also let you send feedback from within the app, check account details (including the number of connected devices), and see what’s new on the CyberGhost website. This includes the country and location, your VPN IP address, as well as the amount of data you’ve uploaded and downloaded, which sits above total connection time and your current connection protocol. When you are connected to a server, whether selected manually or by default, CyberGhost VPN gives you convenient at-a-glance information. There are some pauses when connecting to US servers, though. Speaking of real-time online activities, CyberGhost connects and disconnects to local servers so fast that music streaming doesn’t skip a beat, and I only experienced a second of downtime (with no disconnection) in a Microsoft Teams when I switched CyberGhost off. While I had issues with PureVPN’s Australian servers, CyberGhost was such a great background VPN that I forgot I had it on during a half-hour Zoom call that didn’t skip a beat. Search for servers by typing, add favorites, or browse from a full list of servers that list distance to your location and server load percentages.īy default, there are optimized streaming servers for UK and US services preloaded into your favorites, but you can dig deeper down the list to find servers optimized for gaming, torrenting, or additional streaming options. Alternatively, expand the program for more options that the average user won’t need but are great for those who want to tinker. You can keep the software in a compact mode and simply use the large, obvious connection button to connect to a default nearby server, then tap it again to disconnect. The Android app was even easier to use during my tests. While CyberGhost’s Windows software takes longer to load than its competitors, connecting to a server only takes around four seconds. Simply click or tap on the prompts to get up and going. I still maintain that if you pay for a service and it cannot be provided then you are not getting what you paid for and that is a breach of contract and they should man up and refund those that failed to receive what was expected.Whether you’re using computer software or a mobile app, CyberGhost is incredibly straightforward to install. The VPN does not hide you as the BBC can identify that you are not in the UK. As they say "buyer beware", never going to recommend this company due to their refund policy when things just don't work like they advertise they hide behind a feeble policy!! In response the the reply from CyberGhost: this is a standard answer but they do not tell you that this is not something new or has a fix date!! This has been like this for months and it is not working. The sad and bad part was that it made the CyberGhost VPN useless for us and they refused a refund as it was passed the 30 day period, now was that a coincidence or planned that way to rip people off? I let you make up your own minds. We live outside of the UK and got this to be able to watch the BBC Iplayer, which worked perfectly for the first 5 or 6 weeks then stopped, the explanation was it was a 3rd party service that was now not working. Unfortunately it has turned out to be disappointing. ![]()
