CyberGhost VPN 5 makes it easy to surf safely and anonymously over a virtual private network. The software routes your Internet traffic through a global network of powerful servers, masking your actual IP address and geographic location with simulated addresses that can make it appear like your computer is in an entirely different country.

Pros

Interface: CyberGhost VPN's compact interface features a Start button, Settings, and Web links to Help & FAQ, a free account, server overview, and other resources. The layout displays your computer's location on a global map with options for selecting your virtual location and address.

Simulated location and IP address: By default, CyberGhost automatically simulates your geographic location and IP address, but you can specify either. Other options include Anti-Fingerprinting.

Freedom: Every Internet user needs privacy and security, but those who live under restrictions and even threats can use tools like CyberGhost VPN to communicate freely.

Cons

Limits in free version: CyberGhost VPN's free version has limited choices compared to premium upgrades. For example, free users have fewer servers to choose from.

Bandwidth: Even with broadband, the fastest VPN still adds layers to your network connection. The advantages of a VPN may outweigh any lag time (which you might not notice in any case), but it could be an issue for some users.

Bottom Line

VPNs once required technical skills (or help), but CyberGhost VPN 5 is practically a one-click solution. It makes the privacy and security of VPNs available to a much wider audience.

Fantastic and a must have!
puk3n...September 6, 2017
Pros
The software works well on windows 10 x64. I like anonymity. I can connect up to five devices, including my android devices. It is reliable for me. A price I can afford, I paid $69.60 for two years on a promo.
Cons
...none to date.
Summary
Misleading
TjmannxxAugust 27, 2017

Cons
The software never work require payment.
Summary
Never got it to work, it's maybe it's a great software but at least give us 30 days free trail period.
Super Product

Pros
Probably the best VPN out there for the money....
Cons
NOT compatible with Microsoft's latest .Net 4.7 update!!!! Cyberghost code writers take note please correct this issue.
Summary
Cyberghost as well as most other VPN's will not work with Microsofts latest .NET 4.7...beware that download will make many of your programs non startable.
Doesn't work with Netflix

Pros
At least it lets you try before you buy.
Cons
Doesn't work with Netflix. Seems to slow down connection.
Summary
Seem dishonest and unreliable
IncHulkDecember 31, 2016
Pros
Download ran smoothly, uninstall worked OK
Cons
When it claimed I was now connected at Manchester UK, it actually connected me t Jerusalem, Israel. Not very useful for picking up the BBC ! Subsequently it also claimed it had connected me to Manchester but the IP address was London (but still no BBC connection). So they are either unreliable or dishonest, eitherway I would not trust them with my connection and certainly not pay for their service.
Summary
Free version doesn't work

Pros
Nothing, this software doesn't work.
Cons
This software doesn't work.
Summary
This worthless trash doesn't do anything. If the free version doesn't work, I'm not inclined to pay for the so-called premium version.
The paid (Premium) version is worth it.

Pros
Connection is quicker with the paid (Premium) version than with the free version.
Cons
It seems to work fine. There are no cons
Summary
I like it.
Uninstall ability removed from version 5.5
PJK2011January 20, 2016
Pros
Seems to work okay
Cons
As noted by other reviewers, long wait for your turn to connect to a server. Ability to remove the program is not present in version 5.5, making this essentially malware. Revo Uninstaller can't even remove it, saying there is no data for attempting an uninstall.
Summary
Call it malware. Does anyone know how to uninstall it?
CyberGhost is a Scam
nutzer2015December 30, 2015
Pros
Many servers in a few powerful countries such as US and UK although those in other countries are almost always busy even if you're subscribed.
Cons
Extremely bad customer support of a company called cleverbridge handles this. They do not understand English so you have to email them several times just to make a simple point clear, otherwise they just ignore your pressing enquiries. Also, CyberGhost is very poor at troubleshooting and hardly ever respond to the tickets you lodge in their site.
Summary
Not recommended at all. Their servers are often busy even if you're subscribed and their Premium Plan is fraudulent because once you make payment and try logging in, you find yourself get logged out instantly and will not get any real support from them.
Something good gone bad
WashandBisonNovember 29, 2015
Pros
Servers in many countries Relatively stable
Cons
Access problems Terrible customer support
Summary
I have been using CyberGhost for 2 years or so and it has been reliable although I cannot tell how protective it is of surfing activity monitoring. The problems arose when I bought a second subscription for another computer and then CyberGhost would not give me premium access to either subscription. I cannot log in to CyberGhost on my PC even though my username and password is recognised by the CyberGhost online. Bizarre, but even though I wrote 6 times to CyberGhost customer services, all I got in response was direction to standard troubleshooting web pages. I have had to ask for a refund and cancel my subscriptions as a consequence and I don't understand why CyberGhost thinks it's OK to lose customers like this. They don't seem to care, so I shall look for another VPN.
