How to configure OpenVPN for OpenELEC 6 on a Raspberry Pi
|
Please note:This instruction covers Kodi installations with OpenELEC 5 and 7 as well as LibreELEC 7 final, LibreELEC 8 Alpha andLibreELEC 9with the 'VPN Manager for OpenVPN'. OpenELEC 6 doesn't support OpenVPN and will be covered in a separate article.Disclaimer:Please keep in mind that, although the technical process is as thoroughly documented as possible, you need to have at least some technical understanding. There's always a chance for an overseen mistake and/or things have changed and the article is not updated yet.Step 1: Create the VPN Configuration filesVisit yourCyberGhost VPN online accountand login with your Premium Username and PasswordClick on section'VPN'from the left-side menu, scroll down the page and click 'Configure Device'.Choose your desired protocol, in our example:OpenVPNand your preferredcountryandserver group, as described below.Also, type in aDevice nameto assign to your device, then configure the parameters for the new device.Country:Since native protocol connections may only be used with exactly one server you now have to choose the country you want to surf from; the server to be used in this country will be chosen by CyberGhost automatically.Server group:Choose the server group and the OpenVPN protocol (UDP or TCP) you want to use:UDPallows higher speed than the TCP version, but can result in broken downloads in some cases. This is the default setting.TCPallows more stable connections than the UDP version, but is a bit slower. Choose this version, if you have recurrent connection issues such as sudden disconnections.Once the desired parameters are chosen, save them with«Save Configuration»To view theOpenVPNcredentials that are generated for you on the configuration dashboard, press 'View'.Once the new page is opened, your connection credentials are generated for you but make note of the following information:Server group:This is the address of the country (server) you want to be connected with, e.g. '12345-1-ca.cg-dialup.net'. Note: This address changes with every country you have chosen in the step before. The actual single server to be used will be chosen automatically by CyberGhost.User name:A solely for this protocol generated user name.This is NOT your regular CyberGhost account user name, it's used only to authenticate with our servers via Manual Configurations.Password (you need to check the "Show Password" option in order to see it):A solely for protocol usage generated password.This is NOT your regular CyberGhost account Password, it's used only to authenticate with our servers via Manual Configurations.Pre-Shared KeyPlease download the configuration file. For that please click on 'Download Configuration' and download the config file to your computer (it's recommended that you create a special folder for the config, somewhere accessible like your Desktop andExtract/Copy thecontents of the .zip file there).Now, the saved config is a ZIP file, which contains the following single files:Once configured (as detailed above), please download the configuration file. Click on 'Download Configuration'and save the file on your computer. It's a ZIP file, which contains the following single configuration files:client.crt:This is the user certification fileclient.key:This is your private key fileopenvpn.ovpn:This is your OpenVPN configuration which can be deleted (the VPN Manager creates it's own)ca.crt:This is the certificate of the certification authority (not needed, later on, can also be deleted)Unzip the files 'client.crt' and 'client.key' from the zipped configuration file to a folder on your desktop.If you need to change the country you connect to, you must re-configure the location to use in your account management and download the new zipped config file.Step 2: Get and install OpenVPNSince OpenELEC 6 doesn't include OpenVPN you first need to download and install the 'Unofficial addon repository': For that start OpenELEC and click on 'System > Addons > Search':Type 'Unofficial' in the search field and click on 'Done':Open the repository entry either via a double click or the context menu ...... and install it:After the installation move back to the add-on's root ('Myadd‐ons') and click on 'Install from repository':Choose 'Unofficial OpenELEC Add‐ons':Move to 'Program add‐ons' and install 'openvpn' by Stefan Saraev.Optional:Test the OpenVPN installationTo test your installation of OpenVPN, you need an SSH connection provided by the program 'Putty'. Download itsWindows installer, install the program, and start it. In the first window enter the IP address of your Kodi device, press 'Open', and enter login ('root') and password ('openelec', resp. 'libreelec').Type 'openvpn' at the prompt. You should get a bunch of options displayed.Step 3:Get VPN Manager for OpenVPN and copy filesTo make sure, the VPN Manager gets updated properly, download the completerepository, as opposed to just the single add-on and copy theunzippedfile to the folder with the certificate and the key.Now copy all files to your device. For that, you need access to the file system on your OpenELEC/LibreELEC device. The easiest way is by using a FTP client likeFilezilla:First check for the OpenELEC/LibreELEC network IP address, usually something like '192.168.178.XXX' and note it. If you don't know how to find it, have a look at 'System > System info > Summary > IP address' in your Kodi media center.Start Filezilla, click on 'File > Server manager' and configure a new connection to your OpenELEC/LibreELEC device:Enter the 'Server' address (this is the network address of your OpenELEC/LibreELEC device), e. g. '192.168.178.25'Choose 'SFTP' as the 'Protocol'Choose 'Normal' as 'Connection type'Enter the 'User name' of OpenELEC/LibreELEC, usually 'root'Enter 'Password' for OpenELEC (usually 'openelec'), resp LibreELEC (usually 'libreelec')Click on 'Connect'Filezilla opens the file system of your Kodi installation right inside the folder 'storage'. Create a new folder called 'downloads' or 'VPN' or whatever you want to call it.Open the newly created download folder and copy all files into it (namely the files 'client.crt' and 'client.key' and the zipped repository file).Step 4: Install VPN Manager for OpenVPNAs before click on 'Install from zip file' and move to the folder, where you copied the three files from the last step to. Mark the repository and click on 'OK'.After the repository got installed, click on 'Install from repository', choose the 'Zomboided Add-on Repository', click on 'Services', then on 'VPN Manager for OpenVPN' and at last on 'Install'.Step 5: Configure VPN Manager for OpenVPNAfter installation move to 'My add-ons' and open the entry 'Services':Open 'VPN Manager for OpenVPN' and click on 'Configure'. You can use the Wizard or do it manually as we do it here (although the steps are the same). In the tab 'VPN Configuration' choose 'CyberGhost' as the 'VPN Provider' and enter the user name and the password you noted in step 1. DO NOT use your regular CyberGhost credentials.Click on 'OK' and select the connection profile, which fits your subscription: 'Premium and Premium Plus Account' or 'Promo Account':The next step is about the two files you saved from the downloaded configuration file.Click on 'OK' and then select the user certificate ('client.crt') and the user key ('client.key'). Once done, the VPN Manager will connect to your first VPN.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

How to use CyberGhost VPN for macOS
|
This article will guide you on how to perform the most basic steps with CyberGhost VPN on MacOS.To jump to a specific topic, check out the hyperlinks below:How to establish a quick connectionHow to select various server locationsHow to mark favorite serversHow to use download serversHow to stream popular channelsHow to change the VPN protocolConnect to CyberGhostTo open the app, use the top menu icon or you can useSiriwith the voice command "start CyberGhost".This will bring the CyberGhost app menu and to have a quick connection, you can simply leave the default "Best location" option and just hit the power button from the middle.Once the connection is established, the power button will change color and it will show the details of the connected server. The same button can also be used to disconnect from the server.The CyberGhost server categoriesAll ServersIn this category you will find all the available regular servers from all the countries that we have available:1.Expand the CyberGhost menu from the top left arrow2.Select the "All servers" section to see the list of all the available country locations.3.If you wish to narrow it down to a specific city or server, you can expand the server menu further to see a full listOnce you have the full list displayed, select the server that you wish to connect to and then hit the power button to connect.FavoritesCyberGhost comes with a custom category entitled "Favorites" , where you can populate it with specific countries or cities that you would like to connect to more often or even certain streaming servers.To add a server to "Favorites", highlight the star next to its name and this will be instantly added to the Favorites category.If you ever need to remove a server from Favorites, you can just hit the star icon again so that it will not be highlighted.For downloadingIn this category you will find servers for download purposes, e. g. for Torrents, that meet special conditions for speed, stability, performance, and compatibility (since not all countries allow P2P technologies).1.Expand the CyberGhost menu2.Select the "For downloading" category3.Select any of the servers listed on the right sideAlbeit our servers have absolutely no limit in speed or performance, this can be influenced by other factors as well, thus, it is recommended to choose download server locations that are closer, for a better performance.For StreamingAs you may know, most streaming sites are against VPN usage and actively block the IP addresses of VPN servers; for this reason most of the regular servers might not work with a desired channel.In the "For streaming" category, you will find the servers that are constantly tested by us to work with the popular sites that are listed.For better results, it is recommended to clear the browser cache and cookies after a VPN streaming server connection is well established. Then you can access the streaming site through the browser application.Dedicated IPThis category applies only to a subscription that contains a dedicated IP addon. In here you can activate the dedicated IP token and afterwards find the location of the dedicated server.More information about dedicated IP subscriptions can be foundhere.To redeem your Dedicated IP check out ourguide!CyberGhost SettingsHow to change the VPN protocol (available on system version MacOS 10.14 or higher)A protocol is a set of rules that are used to establish a secure connection between the VPN client and the VPN server. On MacOS, there are two protocols that CyberGhost can use, IKEv2 and the latest WireGuard.As far as security goes, they are similar but since performance is rather subjective each user can experience different results. Thus, if the performance of a certain connection is not as expected, starting with MacOS versions 10.14 (Mojave), you can select between the two of them from the CyberGhost app:1. Go to CyberGhost settings2. Select "Preferences"3. A new Window will appear, usually set on the default "General" tab4. Underneath Protocol: you will be given the option to switch between the two available protocols, IKEv2 and WireGuard.Note:WireGuard protocol will need a helper tool to establish the connection and you will receive a pop-up to install it, the first time you try to establish a connection through this protocol.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

How to change the VPN protocol from CyberGhost VPN on macOS Mojave or higher
|
A VPN protocol is a set of rules used to establish the VPN connection securely to a server.Although we use protocols that are both secure and fast, the performance of a connection can differ from one user's experience to another. That is why with the new version of CyberGhost, you have now the possibility to choose between IKEv2 or WireGuard protocol.For more detailed information on our VPN protocols, you can accessthis link.The steps to perform this change from the app's interface are illustrated below:1. Go to CyberGhost settings2. Select "Preferences"3. A new Window will appear, usually set on the default "General" tab4. Underneath Protocol: you will be given the option to switch between the two available protocols, IKEv2 and WireGuard.Note:This extra feature is available on macOS systems 10.14 (Mojave) or higher and it will need a helper tool to establish the connection.

Why don’t I get 100% of my normal internet speed ?
|
What impacts speed ?The 'VPN Process'What can I do to improve my speed ?Given optimal conditions, your VPN speed might nearly reach the speed of your physical Internet connection. However, certain additional factors can also have a negative impact.What impacts speed ?If your physical Internet connection is limited to e.g. 768 kBit/s, then your VPN speed can't be any faster.Problems related to the infrastructure of the Internet. When connecting to a foreign VPN server, an issue with the network links between you and this server can cause performance problems. This may be congestion caused by a failure of an undersea Internet cable or maintenance by your ISP's upstream network provider.ISP throttling. Some providers will intentionally throttle VPN connections or throttle your entire connection if you are using a lot of bandwidth. This degrades your VPN speed as your entire connection is now running slower.Your Internet service provider's connection speed. In most cases, the speed of your VPN connection is limited by the overall amount of data that your ISP can process and the speed at which it can carry it over its network..CyberGhost's configuration is not compatible with your Internet connection (different packet sizes). If that's the case, there should be the same problem on all servers and at all times.The number of people using the VPN server.The VPN tunneling protocol you are using.What can I do to improve my speed ?Restart your device.Switch theVPN serverto another one that is located closer to your current location.Change your Protocol Settings- open theSettingsmenu and switch toWireGuard®in the VPN protocol selection.Change to a server with a lower load percentage.Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall.Close P2P-based programs (generally software downloads) running in the background.Refresh your local network1. Remove the power cables from the modem and router.2. After waiting 30 seconds, connect the modem to the router.3. After waiting 30 seconds, plug in the router.4. Wait 30 seconds, it is now refreshed.Install thelatest versionof CyberGhost VPNTry another connection option on your device. Clickherefor tutorials on the different connection methods.Furthermore, the speed of the internet can be affected directly by the state of your hardware and firmware, so we recommend also :Use an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.Obsolete routers can cause problems with your Wi-Fi connectivity and slow down your Internet speed. Check the router itself. You will see numbers like these :11ac - operates according to the latest standards;11n - a bit older, but still functional;11g - fairly outdated, so it's probably time to consider replacing it';Up-to-date drivers can also influence the speed; check for the latest updates for your Ethernet adapter, motherboard chipset, and network drivers, BIOS updates, etc.The 'VPN Process'When using a VPN connection, all data is divided into packets before being sent. These data packets are then encrypted with AES-256 bit. This is a complex and computationally intensive step.After the encryption, more control information is set before the data (Header), so due to additional information, every packet is bigger as it originally was. This so-called “Overhead” is proportionally bigger, the more small packages are sent since the control information has a fixed size regardless of the size of the original packets. For example, at CyberGhost (via OpenVPN) this takes approximately 50 bytes per packet (it varies depending on the setting for encryption, authentication, etc.).For example, a 1 MB file which is sent into 874 packets has 874*50 Byte additional data (Overhead), which must be transmitted, so 43700 Byte. This means 5%. If 1 MB file is sent into 2097 packets, then 2097*50 Byte additional data (Overhead) must be transmitted, so 123723 Byte. This means approx. 12% Overhead.The size of the data packets depends among others on the following aspects: over which servers are these sent and which packets size does the remote station accepts (MTU).At the measurement of speed tests with an active VPN connection is measured only how many user data can be transmitted over a period of time, therefore the above-mentioned Overhead is not measured.So when using a VPN, more data must be transmitted. Through the encryption, this lasts even longer, depending on the processor load of the PC. When you are surfing on the Internet over a CyberGhost server, you are not the only one using this, which means that this server must receive a lot of packets, to encrypt/decrypt and forward.A server on which are connected for example 50 persons and each of them wants to download with 50 Mbit/s, must be able to handle at least 2,4 Gbit/s user data. But the TCP/IP protocol used on the Internet adds another “Overhead”, so in practice, the measurements have shown that a 1 Gbit fastened server reaches approx. 580 Mbit/s net bandwidth (user data bandwidth). Therefore in order to transmit 2,4 Gbit/s user data, the server must be equipped with a 5 Gbit connection. Such servers are hardly available, usually, the regular servers offer only 1 Gbit connections. If we would decrease too much the number of simultaneous users per server, this would no longer be financially viable on one hand, and on the other hand, the anonymity level would have to suffer.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

Manage your CyberGhost VPN Settings and Features on Android
|
In this article you will find a presentation of the CyberGhost application settings on Android mobile devices and features that you can optimize your VPN connection with. If you wish to skip to a specific topic, you can use the links below:Jump to...AccountGeneralVPNWi-fi ProtectionAccountUsername :Shows the current active account name, for trial version users it's the e-mail address used when registering. You can change your user name at any time in yourCyberGhost online accountPlan:Your type of subscription.Active devices :Amount of active devices. Depending on your subscription you can use your plan with different numbers of devices at the same time. To remove or add a device, please visit youronline account.Renews on: Show the end date of the current subscription.Manage devices:This is a link that will redirect you to the personal account page.GeneralAnonymous statistics :If you activate it, we only examine a limited amount of anonymous data - device type (phone, tablet, or tv), Android version, and whether you are a free or a paying user. This data cannot be traced back to a real person, but it helps us scale our infrastructure and troubleshoot any potential issue.Use Domain Fronting :The 'Domain Fronting' feature is needed, if the domains *.cyberghostvpn.comor the corresponding IP addresses are blocked (meaning: our API is not reachable; e.g. because of censorship).Share Network Data for Troubleshooting: Useful for debugging connections when contacting SupportHaptic response :Use your device's sensors with our app to add a sensory experienceArticle catalog :Displays all articles available in the application.FAQ :Displays a list of all our F.A.Qs articles.Report a problem :A direct link to send out requests to our support team or share your opinion about the CyberGhost app! Any kind of feedback helps us improve and we are eager to hear your thoughts.App version, Terms of use, privacy policy, Imprint:Legal and internal information.Log out :Here you log out from the current active account. The app switches to the start page, where you can log-in again.VPNConnection Checker :It will help you determine whether or not you have a properly working internet connection and are ready for a VPN. By simply tapping on, the tool will analyze the reachability of your device as well as the Internet connection and the passage to the CyberGhost network.Dedicated IP :Here you can add and activate your Dedicated IP address token.VPN protocol :Here you can choose between OpenVPN and WireGuard® to be your default protocol.'Auto'option will connect you by default with WireGuard®.Small packet size :Here you can enable a small MTU size, if you are experiencing website blockages. This option will automatically adjust it according to the capabilities of your underlying network.Use random port to connect:This option allows CyberGhost to establish connections through randomly chosen ports (which will be changed with each new connection), instead of a fixed port (which makes it easy for providers to slow down or block CyberGhost connections). In case your provider or network admin (such as in Hotels or Airports) doesn't allow VPN traffic, the activation of this option might help to successfully connect to the CyberGhost network because usually only a few ports are blocked.Content Blocker:Enabling this will block domains used for ads, trackers and malware.App Split Tunnel:This features allows you to choose which apps will access the Internet through the VPN tunnel and which apps will be omitted by the VPN encryption. By default, CyberGhost routes all traffic from all apps through the VPN tunnel (where your IP is changed and all traffic encrypted). If you do not make any changes to Split tunneling after installing CyberGhost, all of your apps will go through the VPN by default.Wi-Fi ProtectionHere you activate a warning each time CyberGhost detects a new Wi-Fi network. If you are concerned about your device's security in public hotspots (which you should), it's recommended to keep this option activated at any time. To define the way Wi-Fi networks should be treated at availability, tap on the resp. entry.Now choose one of the following actions (all options are available for password-protected networks and open networks alike):Ask :Every time your device detects a Wi-Fi network, CyberGhost asks you if you want to be protected.Protect :Every time your device detects a Wi-Fi network, CyberGhost automatically starts a VPN connection.Disable protection :If you already have a VPN connection running and you enter a (different) Wi-Fi network, CyberGhost will disable the VPN connection.Ignore :By choosing this option, CyberGhost will ignore any Wi-Fi network.Manage Wi-Fi Networks :Since CyberGhost remembers networks and the reaction wanted on any particular network you can manage here all known networks, such as assigning a different reaction to a specific one, by simply tapping on the respective Wi-Fi Network.These are all you can currently find on our Android application and everything you need to customize it to your needs.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

CyberGhost VPN’s Virtual Server Locations
|
This article will explain everything about CyberGhost VPN’s virtual server locations.Jump to...What Is a Virtual Server Location?List of Virtual Server LocationsWhat Is a Virtual Server Location?CyberGhost VPN offers access to servers in 100 countries. Most of our network is physical, meaning the servers are physically located in the country you are choosing to connect to. But we also offer virtual server locations, sometimes known as geo-located servers, for certain locations. These servers are physically situated in a nearby country but provide an IP address that matches the country selected.We insist that all our servers adhere to our strict No Logs policy while delivering optimal performance and connection quality. Unfortunately, in some countries, it’s difficult to find providers that meet these requirements. Virtual server locations enable connections to these countries while allowing you to surf free of restrictions.List of Virtual Server LocationsCyberGhost VPN has virtual server locations in:Algiers, Algeria (via Madrid, Spain)Andorra, Andorra (via Madrid, Spain)Buenos Aires, Argentina (via Miami, USA)Yerevan, Armenia (via Sofia, Bulgaria)Nassau, Bahamas (via Miami, USA)Dhaka, Bangladesh (via Singapore)Minsk, Belarus (via Vilnius, Lithuania)São Paulo, Brazil (via Miami, USA)Phnom Penh, Cambodia (via Singapore)Santiago, Chile (via Miami, USA)Shenzhen, China (via Singapore)Bogota, Colombia (via Miami, USA)San Jose, Costa Rica (via Miami, USA)Zagreb, Croatia (via Budapest, Hungary)Nicosia, Cyprus (via Bucharest, Romania)Cairo, Egypt (via Bucharest, Romania)Tbilisi, Georgia (via Sofia, Bulgaria)Nuuk, Greenland (via Montreal, Canada)Mumbai, India (via Singapore)Jakarta, Indonesia (via Singapore)Tehran, Iran (via Dubai, UAE)Douglas, Isle of Man (via Dublin, Ireland)Rome, Italy (via Milano, Italy)Astana, Kazakhstan (via Sofia, Bulgaria)Vaduz, Liechtenstein (via Zurich, Switzerland)Luxembourg, Luxembourg (via Amsterdam, Netherlands)Macau, Macau (via Singapore)Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (via Singapore)Valletta, Malta (via Milano, Italy)Mexico City, Mexico (via Miami, USA)Monaco, Monaco (via Milano, Italy)Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (via Tokyo, Japan)Podgorica, Montenegro (via Belgrade, Serbia)Rabat, Morocco (via Madrid, Spain)Lagos, Nigeria (via Madrid, Spain)Karachi, Pakistan (via Singapore)Panama City, Panama (via Los Angeles, USA)Manila, Philippines (via Singapore/Tokyo, Japan)Lisbon, Portugal (via Madrid, Spain)Doha, Qatar (via Dubai, UAE)Moscow, Russia (via Stockholm, Sweden)RIyadh, Saudi Arabia (via Dubai, UAE)Seoul, South Korea (via Tokyo, Japan)Colombo, Sri Lanka (via Singapore)Taipei, Taiwan (via Tokyo, Japan)Bangkok, Thailand (via Singapore)Istanbul, Turkey (via Bucharest, Romania)Caracas, Venezuela (via New York, USA)Hanoi, Vietnam (via Singapore)For a full list of our servers, see ourserver page.

What Server should I choose ?
|
In most cases, performance and geographical location are the main factors in the choice of a server for most users. In case you want an IP address to be linked to a geographical location, select the server manually. You can also find the server with the fastest connection by using the results obtained from in-app ping, which is the network latency-based ping.In terms of speed, the load of users allows you to anticipate the speed of your transfers. The higher the load, the more the server concerned will be used and the lower the speed will be for a single user. Furthermore, the more users share a server, the more anonymity that a single user will get from the crowd.Find the best CyberGhost VPN server on thispage.

How to select a country or a city with CyberGhost VPN for Amazon Fire TV / Fire Stick
|
When using the 'Best Location' option, CyberGhost will establish a connection automatically to the best server it can find for your connection ( determined by several factors such as distance to server, user load, server reply speed, etc ). You can of course also choose your favorite location manually by either changing the respective country or by directly activating an individual server.Country choiceTo manually choose a country switch to the main screen and simply tap on the connection description between 'Connect to' and the little downwards showing arrow:In the next screen, you see a list of all countries CyberGhost operates servers in.To make it easier for you to find your country of interest, simply type the respective name in the search field above the first country line.Note:If the search field is not visible, swipe downwards to reveal it.As you can see the list can be pre-filtered:Countries :All available countries will be displayed.Streaming :Only countries with optimized streaming servers will be displayed.Favorites :Only countries, single servers, or single streaming servers you previously marked as 'Favorites' will be shown in this list.To activate the country of your choice simply tap on the resp. name or flag. The single server to be used in the country of choice will be determined by CyberGhost automatically, based on an internal load balancing.The menu allows you to :Add to Favorites:Tap to add the chosen country to your list of favorite countries to connect to.Show servers:Tap here for a complete list of servers in the country chosen. There you can also choose from any available city.Connect to country:Tap to connect to the chosen country right now, the single server to be used will be determined by CyberGhost automatically, based on the internal load balancing.Main screenOnce a country or single server is activated, the app switches back to the main screen, where the country or server will be shown right beneath the connection confirmation. Also, the valid new IP address (different from your original one) is going to be displayed.Please note that, although you are anonymized, you still need to be careful with your personal data. If you participate on a social network like Facebook, or if you are logged in to real name Google account while being anonymized, or expose your real name and/or email address in a different context, you will most certainly compromise your anonymity. Also some apps have rights to access your GPS.DisconnectingTo disconnect from the current connection tap on the power button.After disconnecting the VPN, the country or server you used last will replace the default connection type and stay valid for all future connections - until you choose a different country or server or switch back to 'Best Location'.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

How to Get started with CyberGhost for Amazon Fire TV / Fire Stick
|
To start using CyberGhost, simply start the app via your home screen.The app will open with the main screen, stating you are not connected to the VPN network yet.To activate your VPN tap on the yellow power button (while the connection mode is in'Best Location').Note:To cancel your connection you don't have to wait until the connection process ends. Just click on the yellow power button while connecting.Alternatively, choose a country by tapping on the connection description between 'Connect to' and the little downwards showing arrow:This opens a country list. Go for any country, return to the main screen and fire up your connection now. It will be established immediately.If you choose a specific country, CyberGhost automatically connects to the best suited serverin this country.Some background info ...a) ... on the connection types:Depending on the connection type valid (as can be seen directly below the power button), a VPN connection will be initiated either ...... completely automatically: If you use the'Best Location'option, the country as well as the server to be used will be chosen by CyberGhost, based on an internal load balancing system, which takes account of performance as well as protection levels.... partly automatically: If you choose a specific country, the server to be used will be activated automatically by CyberGhost, again based on an internal load balancing system.b) ... on anonymity:After being successfully connected to a server, CyberGhost displays the country you are surfing from, the name of the server in use, and its IP address. This new IP address cannot be tracked back to your identity or your real IP address.Note that, although you are anonymized, you still need to be careful with your personal data. If you participated on a social network like Facebook, or if you were logged in to your Google account while being anonymized, or exposed your real name and/or email address in a different form, you will most certainly compromise your anonymity.c) ... on VPN functionsAll of the following functions are activated (and not to be deactivated) on each server inside the CyberGhost network:Encryption:All VPN connections are secured with 256-bit AES, which can't be intruded from the outside.Hidden IP:Your original IP address will be replaced by an IP address from the CyberGhost network, so your identity can't be tracked down. At the same time, the very same IP address will be shared with all other users on a respective server, thus extending your anonymity.No logs:CyberGhost is committed to its strict NO LOGS policy requiring the minimum anonymous user data to run the service.KillSwitch:The automatic Internet KillSwitch blocks all connections as soon as it detects an unexpected connection loss to the CyberGhost network.LeakProtection:CyberGhost protects against IPv6, Port Forwarding, and DNS leaks.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

How to automatically protect Wi-Fis with CyberGhost VPN for Amazon Fire TV / Fire Stick
|
To specify the way how CyberGhost's automatic Wi-Fi protection should set in you can define the general reaction of CyberGhost to Wi-Fi networks as well as a specific reaction to a specific WiFi.Set up the general reaction to new / unknown Wi-Fi networks1. Open the app settings with a single finger tap on the gear symbol :2. In the app settings page first make sure that under the 'Smart Rules' section Wi-Fi Protection is enabled.3. Now choose one of the following actions (all options are available for password-protected networks and open networks alike):Ask :Every time your device detects a Wi-Fi network, CyberGhost asks you if you want to be protected.Protect :Every time your device detects a Wi-Fi network, CyberGhost automatically starts a VPN connection.Disable protection :If you already have a VPN connection running and you enter a (different) Wi-Fi network, CyberGhost will disable the VPN connection.Ignore :By choosing this option, CyberGhost will ignore any Wi-Fi network.Adjust specific reaction to known Wi-Fi networksKnown Wi-Fi networks:Since CyberGhost remembers networks and the reaction wanted on any particular network you can manage here all known networks, such as assigning a different reaction to a specific one, by simply tapping on the respective Wi-Fi Network. Search for the network you want to assign a different reaction to and tap on it. The options are the same as described above.About the interaction of CyberGhost with known and unknown networksThe moment you enter a free or password-protected Wi-Fi, CyberGhost recognizes, if it's a known or unknown network. If unknown, the app reacts the way you defined in the general Wi-Fi settings, that is, either asks, protects, or ignores. If a network is already known, CyberGhost remembers how you wanted this single network to be treated the last time you visited, e. g. protect your device automatically.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

4. Now, access your EdgeMax router via SSH:
5. Then perform these commands:sudo -icd /config/mkdir openvpnchmod 770 openvpn
6. If you're using Linux, disconnect from SSH and copy the created “nordvpnauth.txt” and the downloaded “.ovpn” (in this case “de978.nordvpn.com.udp.ovpn”) files into your EdgeMax router's “/config/openvpn” directory via SCP:scp nordvpnauth.txt ubnt@routersIPaddress:/config/openvpnscp de978.nordvpn.com.udp1194.ovpn ubnt@routersIPaddress:/config/openvpnTo copy these files into the EdgeRouter while using Windows, upload them via SFTP. The default port for the SFTP connection is 22:
7. Use SSH again to connect to your router and run the following commands (adjusting some lines according to your network and file names):configureset interfaces openvpn vtun0 config-file /config/openvpn/de978.nordvpn.com.udp.ovpnset interfaces openvpn vtun0 description 'OpenVPN VPN tunnel'commitset service nat rule 5000 description 'OpenVPN Clients'set service nat rule 5000 log disableset service nat rule 5000 outbound-interface vtun0set service nat rule 5000 source address 192.168.1.0/24set service nat rule 5000 type masqueradecommitset protocols static table 1 interface-route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop-interface vtun0set firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE rule 10 description 'traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 to vtun0'set firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE rule 10 source address 192.168.1.0/24set firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE rule 10 modify table 1set interfaces ethernet eth1 firewall in modify SOURCE_ROUTEcommitsave
Note: The last command can also be “ethernet eth2,” depending on which slot is used for the LAN cable, or “switch switch0” if you are using a switch interface.
If you are using a different subnet (or want to set up the connection for specific devices only), modify 192.168.1.0/24 on all lines to your values.
8. To check the connection log, type in:run show logScroll down until you see “Initialization sequence completed.” That means your router has successfully connected to our service. You can also check our [“What is my IP?” page](https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/) to see if you are connected to NordVPN.
Additional notes:
* Change the line “auth-user-pass” to “auth-user-pass /config/openvpn/nordvpnauth.txt” (without the quotation marks.)
* After “auth-user-pass /config/openvpn/nordvpnauth.txt,” insert a new line with “route-nopull” (again, without the quotation marks.)
* Save the file.
* For UNIX-like machines, use the command “ssh ubnt@routersIPaddress” (no quotation marks) and enter your EdgeRouter password.
* For Windows devices, [download this app](https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client-download).
* To disable a VPN, use the following commands:configureset interfaces openvpn vtun0 disablecommitsave
* To re-enable a VPN after disabling it, use the following commands:configuredelete interfaces openvpn vtun0 disablecommitsave
* To change your VPN server, simply upload a new file to your router (as described in step 6) and use the following commands:configureset interfaces openvpn vtun0 config-file /config/openvpn/new_file.ovpncommitsave

How to Stream with CyberGhost VPN CLI App on Linux
|
With CyberGhost for Linux, you can take advantage of our Streaming-Optimized servers to access region-restricted content from websites such as Netflix, Amazon US, or BBC iPlayer.In order to accomplish this, you'll need to connect to one of our servers optimized for this purpose. This is done fairly quickly by instructing the app to connect through a 'streaming' server > specify the 'website' (BBC/Netflix, etc) and simulated 'country' ( which version of Netflix for example,US/FR/DE, etc ).The process is detailed below in 3 easy steps ( we'll use 'Netflix US'for this example )1. With CyberGhost installed> Open aTerminalwindowNOTE :You do not need to navigate to CyberGhost's folder, you can type in the commands right away.2. First, we need to fetch the list of supported 'Streaming Services'and from which country.NOTE:Once you get used to the commands, you doNOTneed to fetch the country/services list each time,you can just type in the command as soon as you open a Terminal window.In theTerminaltype in :cyberghostvpn --streaming --country-code3. Once you've made your decision (Netflix USwill be used in this example), you're ready to type in the command which will include:Server-type 'Streaming'.Service 'Netflix US'.CountryUS+ the 'connect' command.The command for Netflix US would be :sudocyberghostvpn --streaming 'Netflix US' --country-code US --connectImportant :The quotes when typing in'Netflix US'are mandatory as the name of the service includes space and Linux need the quotes to be added when using 2 wordsin order to read it as a single string(such as Netflix US).TIP:If you wish to filter all available Streaming Services in asingle country, let's sayFrance, use this command :cyberghostvpn --streaming --country-code FRYou'll see all of theFrench Streaming Services supported,then you can connect to the desired service as shown above (For Canal+, the command would be :sudo cyberghostvpn --streaming 'Canal+' --country-code FR --connectFor any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

How Does Smart DNS Work?
|
This article will answer commonly asked questions about CyberGhost VPN's Smart DNS feature.Jump to...What is Smart DNS?How does Smart DNS work?Will my connection be encrypted?Will my IP hidden/changed?How many devices can I use simultaneously with CyberGhost Smart DNS service?Can ISPs interfere with the Smart DNS service?Can I use Smart DNS and VPN simultaneously?What is Smart DNS?A Smart DNS is a service you can use on devices that do not natively support VPN apps. It does not change your IP and does not encrypt your connection like a VPN does, but instead it offers better speed for watching video content. This feature will let you stream content like US Netflix, US Hulu, UK Netflix, and others.How does Smart DNS work?As the name implies, this feature simply works by changing the DNS servers on your device from your local servers (which contain information that can reveal your location) to our DNS servers based in the US, UK, DE, and JP.Will my connection be encrypted?No, you connection will not be encrypted. Smart DNS is not meant for security purposes.Will my IP be hidden/changed?Your IP address is not changed. It will only change your DNS addresses, as the name suggests.How many devices can I use simultaneously with CyberGhost Smart DNS service ?There is no limit to the number of devices you can use as long as they are located in the same network and have the same external IP address.Can ISPs interfere with the Smart DNS service ?It is worth mentioning that in some situations Smart DNS cannot be used successfully. If your Internet Service Provider diverts the DNS while using a technology called 'Transparent DNS proxy', they intercept all DNS lookup queries (TCP/UDP port 53) and transparently proxy the results. This forces you to use their DNS addresses without being able to change them. Smart DNS might have issues.In other cases, port 53 (DNS) may be intentionally blocked. In such a situation, we recommend that you submit a request for unblocking to your ISP's technical support department.Should the above solutions not work for you and you still can't use Smart DNS as foreseen, try an alternative way to use CyberGhost VPN on your TV or console:How to share a VPN connection over Ethernet on WindowsHow to use CyberGhost with your game consoleCan I use Smart DNS and VPN simultaneously ?You cannot use both VPN and Smart DNS service at the same time because they conflict with each other.As long as the CyberGhost VPN application can be installed on your specific device, you do not need to use Smart DNS. The CyberGhost VPN application will provide you with more functionality on any device.Our articles and guides will help you implement Smart DNS on various devices:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/sections/360003585160-How-to-configure-My-Smart-DNSNeed assistance?

How to configure OpenVPN for Kodi on a Linux device
|
Please note:Disclaimer:Please keep in mind that, although the technical process is as thoroughly documented as possible, you need to have at least some technical understanding. There's always a chance for an overseen mistake and/or things have changed and the article is not updated yet.PreparationsIf you use a Kodi Media Center based on a Linux distributionother thanOpenELEC/LibreELEC, OSMC, etc. (such as Ubuntu) you need to install OpenVPN first and make sure the command 'killall' is available. Usually, you do this by the following commands:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install openvpnsudo apt-get install psmiscYou might have a different Linux installation running, with different steps to take, but they should at least be similar. Below you will find an example of how to install OpenVPN for Linux Mint, others can be seenherein the 'CyberGhost for Linux' section.Step 1: Configure an OpenVPN connection1. Visit yourCyberGhost VPN online accountand login with your CyberGhost Username and Password.2. Click on section'VPN'from the left-side menu, scroll down the page and click 'Configure Device'.3. Each server has a configuration file that you will need to create in order to connect to the VPN server. You can download all the configuration files after creating them.ChooseOpenVPNand your preferredCountryandServer Group, as described below.Also, type in aDevice nameto assign to your device, then configure the parameters for the new device.Country:Since native protocol connections may only be used with exactly one server you now have to choose the country you want to surf from; the server to be used in this country will be chosen by CyberGhost automatically.Server group:Choose the server group and the OpenVPN protocol (UDP or TCP) you want to use:UDPallows higher speed than the TCP version but can result in broken downloads in some cases. This is the default setting.TCPallows more stable connections than the UDP version but is a bit slower. Choose this version, if you have recurrent connection issues such as sudden disconnections.Once the desired parameters are chosen, save them with«Save Configuration»To view theOpenVPNcredentials that are generated for you on the configuration dashboard, press 'View Configuration'.Once the new page is opened, your connection credentials are generated for you but make note of the following information:Server group:This is the address of the country (server) you want to be connected with, e.g. '12345-1-ca.cg-dialup.net'. Note This address changes with every country you have chosen in the step before. The actual single server to be used will be chosen automatically by CyberGhost.User name:A solely for this protocol generated user name.This is NOT your regular CyberGhost account user name, it's used only to authenticate with our servers via Manual Configurations.Password (you need to check the "Show Password" option in order to see it):A solely for protocol usage generated password.This is NOT your regular CyberGhost account Password, it's used only to authenticate with our servers via Manual Configurations.Pre-Shared KeyClick on 'Download Configuration' (if the automatic download has not started) and download the config file to your Mac. It's recommended that you create a special folder for the config, somewhere accessible like your Desktop, andExtract / Copy thecontents of the .zip file there.Now, the saved config is a ZIP file, which contains the following single files:ca.crt:This is the certificate of the certification authorityclient.crt:This is the user certification fileclient.key:This is your private key fileopenvpn.ovpn:This is yourOpenVPNconfiguration fileIf you need to change the country you connect to, you must re-configure the location to use in your account management and download the new zipped config file.Step 2Install OpenVPN and the network manager on Linux.For that click on 'Menu > All Applications > Software Manager' and type in the search field (in the upper right corner) 'OpenVPN'. Install the following programs with a double click:openvpnnetwork-manager-openvpn gnomenetwork-manager-openvpnTo make sure that already installed components are up to date, open a terminal and enter the following commands:sudo apt-get install openvpnsudo apt-get install openvpn bridge-utilssudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnomesudo apt-get install psmiscLog out and in again or restart your computer or open a terminal and type in the following command:sudo restart network-managerStep 3:Get VPN Manager for OpenVPN and copy filesDownload the completerepositoryfor the Kodi VPN Manager (so the VPN Manager will be updated properly if a new version is published) and leave itunzipped,while the zipped configuration file should be unzipped to an external drive or a folder accessible from within Kodi.Step 4: Install VPN Manager for OpenVPNStart Kodi, move to the add-on section, and click on 'Install from zip file'. Select the path to the folder where you copied the repository, mark it, and click 'OK'.After the repository gets installed, click on 'Install from repository', choose the 'Zomboided Add-on Repository', click on 'Services', then on 'VPN Manager for OpenVPN' and lastly, click 'Install'.Step 5: Configure VPN Manager for OpenVPNAfter the installation move to 'My add-ons' and open the entry called 'Services':Open 'VPN Manager for OpenVPN' and click on 'Configure'. You can use the Wizard or do it manually as we do it here (although the steps are the same). In the tab 'VPN Configuration' choose 'CyberGhost' as the 'VPN Provider' and enter the user name and the password you noted in step 1. DO NOT use your regular CyberGhost credentials.Click 'OK' and select the connection profile, which fits your subscription: 'Premium and Premium Plus Account' or 'Promo Account':For the next step, we will need the unzipped files from the configuration file you saved somewhere on your device.Click on 'OK' and then select the user certificate ('client.crt') and the user key ('client.key'). Once done, the VPN Manager will connect to your first VPN. If not, click on the 'VPN connection' tab and start your 'first connection' (which is highlighted).

What is an IP address and what dangers might it include ?
|
The IP address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a network interface on a machine. An IP address is typically written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields separated by periods. Each 8-bit field represents a byte of the IP address.Every time you’re online, your IP address lets web servers know where to reach you. It’s how you can visit websites, for example.However, your IP address includes a lot of details, like:Your countryYour regionYour cityYour ZIP codeYour longitudeYour latitudeYou probably wouldn’t share such info with strangers, yet you’re doing it online all the time.One of the biggest trackers of your digital life is your Internet Service Provider, ISP for short. Since your IP address is uniquely assigned to you, they can easily keep tabs on everything you do.In most countries, ISPs are legally required to store logs on your digital activity and browsing history. They can even be forced to monitor traffic and throttle speeds when you’re on file-sharing or streaming platforms.When dealing with ISPs, authorities and law enforcement agencies can generally access everything without a hitch, and your consent as a user is not needed. And because of how browsing databases work, the information is often handed over in bulk.This way, even if you’re not under investigation, your data can still get to the authorities if another ISP client does something shady.And if you’re not already worried about your privacy, let me add one more thing:many ISPs dabble in selling your data to advertisers.Switch to CyberGhost VPNAVPNis a secure way of accessing the internet and keeping your connection private. Short for Virtual Private Network, ithides your IP address, cloaks it with a different one, and drives your traffic through anencrypted tunnel.After connecting to a VPN server, you can simply browse the web as you would normally do. There’s no need to change browsers or risk using suspicious exit nodes.CyberGhost VPN can help you:Bypass geo-restrictions and unblock contentTorrent safelySecuring your digital transactionsGetting better online dealsProtect your digital identityHide your IP, encrypt your connection, and stay safe from prying eyes. Don’t let your digital footprint be a backdoor that links directly to you.For any additional information or concerns - it is best to approach the Support Department:via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

Router: How to Set Up OpenVPN on DD-WRT Routers
|
Please note the following requirements:Router with alternative DD-WRT firmware and support of OpenVPN.Older versions need to be updated.Info:DD-WRT WebsiteA CyberGhost accountInfo:Here's how to create a CyberGhost account onlineInfo:How to manage your CyberGhost accountA CyberGhost subscriptionInfo:How to purchase or upgrade a subscriptionInfo(only prepaid subscribers):Enter activation keyDisclaimer:Please keep in mind that, although the technical process is as thoroughly documented as possible, you need to have at least some technical understanding. There's always a chance for an overseen mistake and/or things have changed and the article is not updated yet.FlashRouters offers plug and playDD-WRT Routers preconfigured with CyberGhost VPNfor this setup.Some general notes on routers:Routers are usually not equipped with state of the art hardware, meaning you will have speed losses when using a VPN connection (due to low CPU power to process encryption). Direct connections from your PC, Laptop, Tablet, etc. to the VPN network (without the router providing the VPN software) will work better for you if speed is among your favorite desires.If your flashed router doesn't provide DSL functionality, your Internet connection will still need to be managed by your DSL modem. In that case, your device pool will hook on your router (via cable or wireless) and the router itself will be hooked to your DSL modem. So don’t forget to configure your WLAN devices to connect to the new router, so they won’t log in to the old WLAN. Alternatively, you can deactivate your modem’s WLAN completely (only if you don’t need it for unencrypted traffic).If you flash your router with an alternative firmware you might lose your device’s guarantee; please consult your dealers’ policies regarding this matter. Furthermore, it might happen that the flash process leaves your device unusable, e.g. after a power failure while flashing. CyberGhost is not to be held responsible for any damages, does not acknowledge any liabilities, and will not adopt your manufacturer’s warranty.Also please note that not all routers with VPN client support will be able to connect to the CyberGhost network or might lose that ability with future firmware updates.DD-WRT is a custom firmware for routers, it offers OpenVPN protocol support and is available on a wide variety of routers. You can check if your router supports DD-WRT firmwarehere. An article on how to install DD-WRT firmware on a router can be foundhere.This is a tutorial on how to set up an OpenVPN connection on your DD-WRT router using the OpenVPN client UI.It has been made using this configuration:Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r40900 std (09/04/19)Hardware: Linksys WRT32xStep1The first thing you should do is make sure your DD-WRT router can connect to the Internet.Connect to your Router Management console by starting your web browser and typing the following IP in the address bar:192.168.1.1(this is the default router management address, yours may differ if you've manually set a different one)1. Now click on'Setup'>'Basic Setup'- ensure the'Automatic Configuration'of IP addresses (DHCP) is set as the connection type and give your DD-WRT router a fixed local IP address under 'Network Setup' >Local IP Address -If you set this to something other than the default, please note that the address you enter here WILL be the one you'll be using when you wish to access the router Management Console (default is 192.168.1.1).NOTE :The default settings should do just fine once 'Automatic Configuration' is selected, only tweak this if you have specific settings provided by your ISP2.Navigate toSetup>IPV6.
