CyberGhost

CyberGhost is a virtual private network (VPN) application that routes a device's internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a remote server, hiding the user's real IP address and location. It uses 256-bit AES encryption and includes standard privacy safeguards such as DNS leak protection and an automatic kill switch that blocks traffic if the VPN connection drops. The company states it follows a no-logs policy, meaning connection and activity data is not stored.

Beyond the Windows client, CyberGhost offers apps for macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, along with browser extensions, smart TV apps, and router-level installation, so a single subscription can cover multiple device types. It provides servers in roughly 100 countries and includes preset server categories optimized for streaming, torrenting, and gaming, which is useful for users who don't want to manually pick the best server for a given purpose.

CyberGhost is a paid, subscription-only product; there is no free or open-source tier, so it's best suited to users who specifically want a commercial VPN with broad platform coverage rather than those looking for a free privacy tool. As with any VPN, its no-logs and no-leak claims rely on the provider's own policies and cannot be independently verified from the app itself.
