CyberGhost VPN

CyberGhost VPN is a Romania-based consumer VPN service offering a large global server network with servers specifically labeled and optimized for individual streaming platforms like Netflix and BBC iPlayer. It uses OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard protocols, and includes NoSpy servers that CyberGhost owns and operates directly at its own data centers rather than through third parties. Beyond basic tunneling, the app bundles an ad and tracker blocker, a kill switch, split tunneling, and "Smart Rules" automation that can auto-connect the VPN or launch apps based on the network you join. It supports up to 7 simultaneous device connections per subscription, with unlimited devices when installed on a compatible router.

It includes an internet kill switch, split tunneling to route only chosen apps through the VPN, obfuscated servers to mask VPN usage, and DNS leak protection. Beyond the core VPN, PureVPN bundles Dark Web Monitoring to scan for exposed personal data, a Tracker Blocker, a built-in password manager, and a paid "Remove My Data" service that automates data-broker removal requests. It serves both personal users and business teams, with apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android, browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and a 31-day money-back guarantee backed by over 5 million users.
