CyberGhost VPN review

CyberGhost offers a very good VPN service which you can use on up to 7 devices at the same time. It's great for unblocking video in particular.

CyberGhost is one of the original and best-known VPN services for consumers. It has changed hands and currently owned by Kape Technologies which also owns other VPN services including ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access and Zenmate as well as VPN comparison website VPNmentor.

It’s a particularly good choice for unblocking streaming services because, not only is it good at doing so, but because of its inexpensive multi-year subscription plans.

And if that’s why you really want a VPN – to unblock Netflix, Disney+ and other services – it won’t really matter about the less-great aspects of the service, such as the lack of an independent audit for its no-logs policy, which becomes basically irrelevant.

So, rather than diving in and talking about the desktop and mobile apps as we tend to do, let’s talk about streaming and performance.

When we tested in May 2022, we had no issues watching US-exclusive titles such as Ink Master from our UK location. We also tested that iPlayer was accessible from France and found that, initially, it wasn’t.

That’s because, on the day of testing, the server marked as being optimised for iPlayer wasn’t working properly and even the BBC website wouldn’t load when connected. However, trying a server optimised for ITV – another UK-based streaming service – iPlayer worked just fine, as did ITV Hub.

CyberGhost is unusual in that it doesn’t just provide a list of servers or countries but the Windows app lets you see filtered lists for streaming, gaming, torrenting and NoSpy (we’ll get to those later).

In the Streaming list, you’ll find a wide choice of services, but also servers dedicated to specific streaming devices, such as a US server optimised for US Netflix on an Amazon Fire TV, or another for Hulu on Android TV.
