CyberGhost VPN

Kommentare: I've used several consumer-grade VPN "anonymizer" solutions over the past two years, and CyberGhost has proven to be the most reliable. (Next year it might be somebody else, but that's how things are in IT land.) All consumer VPN solutions will occasionally drop a connection or lock up, but with CyberGhost this only happens to me once a day or so (as opposed to every hour or two, which was the case with my previous VPN solutions). Additionally, the download speed has been more than satisfactory for my purposes. If you plan on doing huge downloads from Torrent or some such, your experience might be different. But I've downloaded files of 10-50 MB with no noticeable delay. All consumer-grade VPN services have limitations, of course, and this one is no different. But unless you want to spend the money for a business-grade solution, CyberGhost is likely to be the best that you can do at this price point.

Vorteile: • Easily the most reliable consumer-grade VPN solution that I've tried in the past three years. All consumer VPN solutions will occasionally drop a connection or lock up, but with CyberGhost this only happens to me once a day or so as opposed to multiple times every danged day.
• Download speeds have been more than satisfactory for my purposes.
• I'm pleased with the options provided regarding both VPN server location (city/country) and connection purpose (general surfing/email vs video streaming access).
• Lots of handy configuration options: malware blocking, ads blocking, HTTP exceptions list, port randomizing, data compression...too many to list here.
• Android version: impressively solid VPN connectivity on my Android smartphone. The option to compress the data stream to save on wireless bandwidth is a nice feature. The ads blocker feature helps save on bandwidth as well.
• Cyberghost v6 vs v7: with version 7, there have been noticeable improvements to the speed with which new VPN connections are established and disconnected. Most notable is the reduction in wait time for cleanly disconnecting an active VPN (with v6, disconnects took entirely too long).

Nachteile: . The software's resource demands seem to be substantially greater with Cyberghost v7 . If you have an older machine (or if your machine is suffering from operating system decay) I would recommend running tests with the trial version before buying a license, just to make sure that you don't suffer unacceptable performance hits.
• Some competing VPN solutions provide the option of restricting specific applications from connecting to the internet without activation of the anonymous VPN first. This is a great option if you want to make sure that your email client never connects to the internet without your VPN connection in place first. But if this feature exists on CyberGhost, I haven't been able to find it.

Kommentare: Overall experience has been phenomenal with CyberGhost no matter where you are you can create your own secure network to connect and do your work.

Vorteile: There are a ton of features the software brings with it, to start with the most useful is connecting to a VPN Server of listed countries which makes it easy to access content which is not available in your home country. Secondly it provides protection against malicious websites even if you accidentally get redirected to one. Thirdly the ad-blocker feature is a life saver when you have to access some useful websites fully loaded with advertisements blocking your way every time with a pop-up. Last but not the least the most useful feature if you are on a metered connection you can enable Data Compression feature which saves you the data for all the day.

Nachteile: For few countries you'll be able to connect but your internet will stop working with the VPN. Though it provides value for money but you can connect up to only 7 devices under one username which i believe should be a little more nearer to 10.
