    "IT DOES HIDE YOUR IP"

    November 5, 2011  |   By spenner60

    Version: CyberGhost VPN 4.7.18

    Pros

    well i have done a check on this via another web site and it does hide your ip well it shows as a differant ip which is nowhere near where u are so that is a plus

    Cons

    it tend to slow your system down but not by to much,you have to wait to get connected to other ip address but it is free so u can put up with that.

    Summary

    well worth a try and it does work,apart from the wait.

    "does what it's advertising to do"

    October 26, 2011  |   By skytrash

    Version: CyberGhost VPN 4.7.18

    Pros

    works really well, didn't experience any of the problems encountered like other users.
    Easy to use.
    Didn't have problem surfing the net or do anything else with my computer.

    Cons

    none really, so far
    1 gb of data is the only inconvenience.

    Summary

    very good tool, doesn't impede any of my work.
    easy to install and to use, does sometimes slows the internet but it is not that drastic for me.
    Anonymous all the way!

    "Easily hides your ip adr"

    October 12, 2011  |   By zyzzyva57

    Version: CyberGhost VPN 4.7.18

    Pros

    The FREE version is easy to use and all that I need -- Would not mind using the paid version if I needed a "heavier" version

    Cons

    None yet -- It is like learning to ride a bike, it takes some time
    I have at times had to reset it before my browser showed I was hidden (I use trasir.com to make sure)

    Summary

    An easy way to stay anonymous, which is nice with all the tracking going on by the gov and business

    trasir.com shows it working

    "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde software"

    October 3, 2011  |   By cnetguy7

    Version: CyberGhost VPN 4.7.18

    Pros

    good connectivity, truly anonymous unlike other BS out there.
    doesn't reduce internet download and upload speed like others.

    Cons

    certain unpleasant experiences.
    long start up time.
    queues during day plus 15 second mandatory wait.
    1 GB data limit.
    high price for paid version.

    Summary

    I have to start off saying that i use bitdefender total security 2012. Yesterday bitdefender firewall notified me of 2 port scan accesses and blocked them during my CyberGhost session. Upon checking the IP's, they were found to be private.
    Ironically, Bitdefender is the security suite that Cyberghost advertises during that 15 second wait to get new IP address.
    Startup is slow. 1 gb data transfer limit / month for free not great.
    cheaper paid VPN's are available.
    good thing is that this actually doesn't reduce internet speed much and it actually works very effectively whilst most other I've tried don't do what they're advertised to do.

    "What's with the mal-ware screen you can't close???"

    September 18, 2011  |   By Smokestoomuch

    Version: CyberGhost VPN 4.7.18

    Pros

    It does work if you want to put up with a BS mal-ware screen that you can't even get to anything on your computer. Oh, they want to sell you a CyberGhost T-shirt. Yeah right, I bet they sell a lot of those after the harassment.

    Cons

    Mal-ware screen that doesn't go away.

    Summary

    This software BLOWS.

    "Ultra fast - best client"

    September 16, 2011  |   By mc2tox

    Version: CyberGhost VPN 4.7.18

    Pros

    - very fast servers
    - very comfortable client
    - much servers

    Cons

    - none, that I'm aware of

    Summary

    This service is one of the best VPN services I've tried. It's easy to setup and the client software looks nice and offers a lot of additional features like an Anti-Spy Tool. Additionally it offers an encrypted Online-Safe, which I use for my business documents.
