There's always a chance for an overseen mistake and/or things being  changed whilst the article may not yet have been updated.Step 1Visit yourCyberGhost VPN online accountand log in with your CyberGhost Username and PasswordClick on the "VPN"section from the left-side menuSelect"Configure Device"Now create your server configuration, as described below :Protocol :Open VPNCountry :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 useOpenVPN UDPallows higher speed than the TCP version but can result in broken downloads in some cases. This is the default setting.OpenVPN 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, go again to the"VPN"section and press the"View"button associated with your configuration.After setting up your connection preferences, please take note of the following:Server Group :This is the address of the country (server) you want to be connected with, e.g. '12345-1-ca.cg-dialup.net'. 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.Username :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 :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 KeyOnce done, please download the configuration file. For that 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).Important :please keep your username and password obtained during the configuration process at hand, you will need them later in the setup.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 fileOnce you unzip all single files to a computer and rename the file 'openvpn.ovpn' to ‘CyberGhost.conf’.If you need to change the country to surf from, you must re-configure the location (select a different country) to use in your account management, download the new config file, unzip it and rename the new OpenVPN file to 'CyberGhost.conf'.Step 21. To be able to log in automatically, save your user name and password in a file called ‘pas.key’. For this you need to have access to a Linux computer where you type the following command in a terminal window:sudo nano pas.keyType in your credentials (one in each line):UsernamePassword#First line is a generated username and the second line is a generated password.Save your changes with ‘CTRL+O’ and leave the nano editor via ‘CTRL+X’2.

Unable to connect to CyberGhost VPN servers
Various internal and external factors play a role in the process of establishing a VPN connection, such as the network preferences of your device, the protocols used on your network, other software, the type of network (home, public, mobile data), and so on.Should you encounter connection problems on any of these devices, check our guides below:Troubleshooting VPN connection on WindowsTroubleshooting VPN connection on MacTroubleshooting VPN connection on AndroidTroubleshooting VPN connection on iOSTroubleshooting VPN connection on Linux appSome general recommendations if you are unable to connect are also given below. After following each set of instructions, check to see if the problem persists.Try different server locations.Log out of your account in the application and log back in. Try logging in again.Temporarily disable potentially antivirus/firewall software or any other possible interfering apps. In some cases, they interfere with VPN connections. Then they try to connect again.Remove the application, reboot your device, and install the VPN client again. Now try logging in again.Please try to connect using a different connection protocol.Remove parental/security controls on your router.Reboot your router/modem.Alternatively, you can also try to connect a different device on the same network. Doing so will let you know if it is a networking or device problem. For instance, if you cannot connect the Android device, check with your PC to see if you can connect.  And if they are both failing to establish a connection, then the issue is with your home network. However, if your PC can connect, something is wrong with the setup on your phone.Whichever is the case,  feel free to contact our Customer Support team via live chat or e-mail and they will assist you!via e-mail:support@cyberghost.rovia on-line request:https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/requests/newvia 24/7 Live!

What is Peer-to-Peer ( Torrents ) traffic ?
We allow P2P traffic via our P2P special servers. No further adjustments are required in our applications to securely connect to the P2P servers, as your P2P and normal traffic is already protected.Peer to Peer (P2P) refers to a self organized network, in which each connected computer has equal rights and functions at the same time as a server and a client.One thing that can be accomplished by such a network isfile-sharing(another one is for example VoIP like Skype), where each downloader automatically turns into an uploader for other downloaders.To access a P2P network one needs a dedicated application, based on different prior conditions, depending which P2P technology you decide to use.Broadly known names are for example  'BitTorrent'‚ 'qBTorrent'‚ 'BitComet‘, uTorrent'‚ 'eMule‘ and Vuze.Peer to Peer filesharing is most commonly known for its role in howTorrentswork.This type of file sharing can be is very effective, allowing for greaterdownload speedsas opposed to downloading from a website (which usually stores files on an actual server).Peer to Peer is not prone to beinglimitedby any particularfile hosting serviceand part of its efficiency has to do with the fact that each downloader can also be an uploader, even if they haven't finished downloading the entire file(they can instantly start uploading any parts of the download they already have).However,Torrent Trackerscan be blocked in certain countries and in some areas, evendownloading Torrents (regardless of the nature of the file) is frowned upon.CyberGhostoffers a wide range of servers which supportP2P trafficand allow you to Download Torrents with full Anonymity (your IP will be hidden as it's changed to the VPN Server's IP and all of your traffic isencryptedwithAES 256-bit Encryption).In order to learn how to use CyberGhost's Torrent Optimized servers, please consult these comprehensive articles:Windows - How to connect to Torrent-Optimized ServersMacOS - How to connect to Torrent-Optimized ServersFor 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!

Change DNS Settings on Windows
This guide will show you how you can change DNS settings on your Windows device.The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses, enabling your browser to load the correct pages.Normally, you use your internet service provider’s (ISP) DNS servers for this. However, you can manually change DNS settings for better security or faster connections.Note: While you’re connected to CyberGhost VPN, your DNS queries are by default redirected and encrypted through our DNS servers. To change DNS settings, disconnect from the CyberGhost VPN server first.Jump to...Change DNS Settings on Windows 11Change DNS Settings on Windows 10, 8 & 7Change DNS Settings on Windows 11Go toSettings.SelectNetwork & internet.Select Wi-Fi or Ethernet depending on your connection.UnderDNS server assignment, selectEdit.From the drop-down menu, selectManual.Turn on the IPv4 toggle switch.UnderPreferred DNS, enter your desired address.Change DNS Settings on Windows 10, 8 & 7Open the Windows Start menu.Click on the gear icon to open theSettingsmenu.SelectNetwork & Internet.EnableUse the following DNS server addresses.UnderPreferred DNS server, enter your desired address.Afterwards clickOKto save your changes.

What Is CyberGhost VPN Leak Protection?
CyberGhost VPN’s leak protection feature is built for better digital security on macOS. When your Mac connects to an attacker-controlled malicious access point - which could include untrusted Wi-Fi networks in airports or cafes - your device may leak traffic in cleartext. Enabling CyberGhost VPN’s leak protection will automatically push all macOS traffic through the VPN, giving you greater safety against data leaks.Note:By default, certain macOS features such as AirDrop and AirPlay were engineered to operate outside the VPN. Leak protection will route these features through the VPN for added security, but they may not work as expected.Jump to...Enable Leak ProtectionAllow Access to Devices on Local NetworkEnable Leak ProtectionNote: Make sure you are using the latest version of the CyberGhost macOS app. At the moment, leak protection is not compatible with the WireGuard® protocol.On the app, click the cog icon in the upper right-hand corner.ClickPreferences...Under theGeneraltab, toggleLeak Protectionon.If you don’t see theLeak protectionfeature, ensure yourVPN Protocolis set to IKEv2.Allow Access to Devices on Local NetworkTo keep you safe from data leaks, using the VPN will disconnect you from other devices on your Wi-Fi network. If you trust your network, you may choose to remain connected to these devices by enablingAllow access to devices on local network.To enableAllow access to devices on local network:On the app, click the cog icon in the upper right-hand corner.ClickPreferences...Under theGeneraltab,toggleAllow access to devices on local networkon.

Is my activation code transferable ?
After you get an activation code you can do with it whatever you like: Save it for the end of the world, use it for your needs (aka activate it) or pass it on as a gift.After your activation code has been activated (by you or somebody else), the code is bound to the respective account. Furthermore an activation code can only be activated once; pauses and transfers after an initial activation are not possible.
https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/213848889-Is-my-activation-code-transferable
How come my activation key is called invalid?
If your activation code is being rejected, please note that an activation code becomes invalid the second it has been assigned to an account (which happens when you enter the activation code).In case you need to re-install CyberGhost later on or want to use your account with a different computer, just log in with your credentials (user name & password) and not with the now invalid activation code. Your subscription is bound to your account, not the code, and will automatically wait for you.If abrand newactivation key is being rejected, one of the following possibilities might have happened:The time frame in which an activation code has to be used is closed:Activation codes of promotions have to be entered in a certain time frame (which is communicated along with the respective promotion). After the window is closed, the codes become invalid.A technical problem arose,please contact support from insideyour account management.You bought a used or promotional activation code from an unauthorized person, e.g. on eBay or Amazon.If the latter applies to you, meaning, if you accidentally bought a key from an unauthorized person or shop reselling promotional CyberGhost activation codes, please note that these promotional activation codes are given away for free or as a part of a special sale (like in a computer magazine) and not meant to be resold for different reasons:First of all, most promotional activation codes are free one way or the other. If you paid for one it’s like having paid for a Freeware product. You have been created.Special sales (e.g. you have to buy a computer magazine to get the serial) and free promotional activation codes come with service limitations. Often the number of servers is limited, the speed as well, the account will be bound to your computer, and so on. If you paid for a full CyberGhost subscription and just got a promotional one, you also have been created.Promotional activation codes, be it for free or for a small fee, always have limited activation periods and have to be activated before a certain date. If you miss this window and try to activate the code, later on, the activation code is blocked.For your information: Authorized resellers are:CleverbridgeApple iTunesNexwayTrialPayS.A.D. (Retail)Please also note, that affiliates don’t sell CyberGhost products directly, but lead you to the respective authorized seller.If your activation code gets rejected, please contact the shop you bought this activation code from, and ask for a refund. You most certainly had been sold a promotion activation code from an unauthorized reseller.If you have bought your activation code from an authorized reseller or think for some reason, this objection does not apply to you, please contact support via youronline account management. We will then hunt down for you the origin of your activation code and clarify if there had been any other reason for rejecting it.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!

Why does CyberGhost VPN require me to install a helper tool on Mac ?
The'Helper tool'dialog is a consequence of asking the kernel for an escalation of privileges. It allows establishing a stable and secure WireGuard® connection with our VPN servers.  When you are not using CyberGhost, the helper tool also ensures that all your Internet settings return to normal.You will need to enter your computer's administrator password to allow CyberGhost VPN to install the help tool. If you are not the administrator of your device, you may need to obtain the administrator's authorization for the installation.CyberGhost VPN has nothing to do with it and never sees what you type in.Note :Please note that this password is different from your CyberGhost VPN account password ( it must be the password you use to log in to your computer ).Be sure to select "Install Helper" when prompted.What the 'Helper Tool' does :Sets up the network devices for the WireGuard®connection.Controls the WireGuard® connection (up/down).Changes the network routing (for WireGuard®) to get the packages routed over the WireGuard® interface.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!

What is Neagent ?
Neagentis short for 'Network Extension Agent' and makes it easy to connect your Mac to our VPN servers. Since our VPN application for Mac uses the IKEv2/IPSec VPN protocol, allowing the agent to access the Keychain is a necessary step in creating a secure VPN connection.Before you can log in, the neagent has to receive the VPN authentication data stored in the Keychain Password Management System of your Mac. Clicking "Deny" will cause the neagent to fail to connect to the Keychain and you will not be able to establish a VPN connection.SelectingAllowwill only apply to your current session. You will need to re-authorize the neagent the next time you attempt to connect to a VPN server.If you clickAlways Allow,the app will automatically access Keychain each time you log in, and you will not need to give the neagent permission upon each connection.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!

What is Keychain Access on the Mac ?
The Keychain Access is a macOS application for storing your passwords and account information and reduces the number of passwords you need to memorize and manage.While you access a password-protected website, email account, network server, or another password-protected item, for example, you may have the ability to remember or save the password. If you choose to save the password, it is saved in your keychain, so you do not have to remember or type your password every time.CyberGhost VPN stores your credentials in the Keychain for safety and convenience. Every time you connect to a VPN server, CyberGhost VPN will access the Keychain for the password and you may get a prompt for your Keychain password*.*The Keychain password is usually your macOS User password (the one you use when starting the macOS device). The Keychain password may be different IF you have deliberately set one specifically for the Keychain app.In order to skip this prompt in the future, click the'Always Allow'button after you enter the password and you will never have to worry about it again.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 can I use WireGuard® protocol ?
WireGuard®is a free and open-source software application and communication protocol that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques to create secure point-to-point connections in routed or bridged configurations.This is a fairly new VPN protocol, still labeled as a work in progress. It aims to marry the security of the OpenVPN protocol with the speed of (the now easier to block) IPsec.When it comes to encryption,WireGuard®is all about the strictest security standards. It also comes with some extra benefits like faster speeds, more user-friendliness, and less power usage.1. To start with, make sure you are using the latest version of Android.2. Navigate to the app settings in the upper right-hand corner and tap onSettings:3. Go to the"VPN"tab and tap"VPN protocol" :4.

High battery consumption when CyberGhost is activated
Given that CyberGhost VPN will intercept all network traffic after you connect to it, and that all other data from the application is transmitted by the CyberGhost VPN application on your Android device, this may lead to an increase in battery or network usage for the application.Below are some tips that you can apply to avoid high battery consumption :Switch toWireGuardprotocol. It has been proven to offer superior performance while causing less stress to the battery.Be sure to connect to CyberGhost only when you require your connection to be encrypted.Ensure that no other applications are running in the background.Consider choosing the Battery Saver option from the Preferences menu to pause the VPN when the device screen is cleared. The VPN will then disconnect when the screen is cleared and will automatically reconnect when the screen becomes visible again. This option may extend battery life, however, it should not be used if you have applications running in the background that requires ongoing Internet access via the VPN.Set up the VPN on your routerinstead, in case you use your device very often at home.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!

Netflix Tips and Tricks
Unblocking the Netflix content for the United States, Germany, France or the United Kingdom is possible when connected to each individual Optimized servers, which you'll be able to locate in the CyberGhost app.Note: If for example, the connection is established the server Optimized for Netflix US but instead Netflix Germany needs to be unblocked, disconnect from the server designed to unblock Netflix US, and establish a new connection to the server designed to unblock Netflix Germany.Windows - CyberGhost|MacOS - CyberGhost|Linux - CyberGhost CLI|iOS - CyberGhost|Android - CyberGhost***********************************************Windows - CyberGhostFor the purpose of this example, Netflix US is the program unblocked via the CyberGhost software for Windows:Note: Netflix US content is unblocked via the Optimized server for Netflix US however - the requirement is that a Netflix US account is needed.* Where owning a Netflix subscription purchased from a different country, connecting to Netflix US via CyberGhost, the portfolio displayed is the portfolio for the country where the subscription is purchased from - in spite of connecting to the Optimized server for Netflix US.Step 1 out of 2: WithCyberGhost VPNsoftware opened, click the 'Expand' button in the left side of the app to open the extended program view;Step 2 out of 2: Click 'For streaming' on the left side menu > select the "Optimized for Netflix US" and double click it in order toConnect.Final note: With the VPN displaying "VPN Connected" - you can now minimize the CyberGhost software, open your preferred browser and stream Netflix directly in your preferred browser.Tips and Tricks:- The recommendation is to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox by also clearing the history, cache, and cookies;- Stream directly from your browser, not by using third-party software or by using the Netflix program(software);- The server may be grayed out, showing "FULL" - it does not mean that there is a malfunction but a protection measure to avoid the server being overcrowded.***********************************************macOS - CyberGhostmacOS 10.15 Catalina, macOS 10.14 Mojave, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS 10.12 SierraFor the purpose of this example, Netflix US is the program unblocked via theCyberGhost 7software for macOS:Step 1 out of 2: WithCyberGhost VPNsoftware opened, click the 'Expand' button in the top left side of the app to open the extended program view;Step 2 out of 2: On the left side menu - choose "For Streaming" > scroll through the list of available choices and choose the program which needs to be unblocked.For the scope of this article, the server "Optimized for Netflix US" is displayed.Final note: With the VPN displaying "VPN Connected" - you can now minimize the CyberGhost software, open your preferred browser and stream Netflix directly in the browser.Tips and Tricks:- Stream directly from your browser, not by using a third party software or by using the Netflix program(software);- The server may be grayed out, showing "FULL" - it does not mean that there is a malfunction but a protection measure to avoid the server being overcrowded. The fix is to wait for new slots to be available as new connections can be established after.***********************************************Linux - CyberGhost CLI applicationFor the compatible releases of Linux that work with the CLI CyberGhost application, confirm with the information displayed in the Account DashboardThe United States is the country that is exemplified in this part of the article and everything is displayed after CyberGhost has been properly installed on your Linux machine.Step 1 out of 2: Once Terminal opened, run the command:sudo cyberghostvpn --streaming --country-code USwhich will display all the streaming choices for the United States;Step 2 out of 2: In order to unblock Netflix, the command is:sudo cyberghostvpn --streaming 'Netflix US' --country-code US --connectFinal note: Writing Netflix US as the opposite of 'Netflix US' will deliver two different and opposite results.Tips and Tricks:- To ensure that the correct arguments(parameters) are used, consult the FAQ section where further documentation is provided.- Seeing the compatible Linux versions is possible within the Account Dashboard > My devices***********************************************iOSStep 1 out of 3: WithCyberGhost VPNalready installed on your iOS device(iPhone or iPad), tap the bubble labeled with 'Best location' right in the middle of the CyberGhost app for iOSStep 2 out of 3:Opening the list of all the countries available switches to the 'Streaming' tab. The streaming tab will display all the streaming programs that are unblocked with the CyberGhost app for iOS.Step 3 out of 3: All the separate servers Optimized for each service, in particular, are displayed in the 'Streaming' tab. ChooseUnited States - Optimized for Netflix US*.* Differentiating between servers is possible by looking at the description below each country name.Final note: With CyberGhost displaying "VPN Connected!' - you can now minimize the CyberGhost app, open your preferred browser and stream Netflix directly in your preferred browser.Tips and Tricks:- Choosing the United States under the tab "All' will not unblock Netflix US. It is imperative that switching to the 'Streaming' tab is accomplished.- With the VPN enabled, casting to Chromecast or other devices will not be possible as the VPN tunnel is end-to-end and the connection is not 3 way.- Streaming will be accomplished only to the device where the VPN tunnel is established from.***********************************************AndroidStep 1 out of 3: WithCyberGhost VPNalready installed on your Android device(phone or tablet), tap the bubble labeled with 'Best location' right in the middle of the CyberGhost app for Android.Step 2 out of 3:Opening the list of all the countries available switches to the 'Streaming' tab. The streaming tab will display all the streaming programs that are unblocked with the CyberGhost app for Android.Step 3 out of 3: All the separate servers Optimized for each service, in particular, are displayed in the 'Streaming' tab. ChooseUnited States - Optimized for Netflix US*.* Differentiating between servers is possible by looking at the description below each country name.Final note: With CyberGhost displaying "VPN Connected!' - you can now minimize the CyberGhost app, open your preferred browser, and stream Netflix directly in your preferred browser.Tips and Tricks:- Choosing the United States under the tab "All' will not unblock Netflix US. It is imperative that switching to the 'Streaming' tab is accomplished.- With the VPN enabled, casting to Chromecast or other devices will not be possible as the VPN tunnel is end-to-end and the connection is not 3 way.- Streaming will be accomplished only to the device where the VPN tunnel is established from.***********************************************TroubleshootingQ: When connected to CyberGhost, Netflix US is telling me(detecting) that I am using a Proxy or an unblocker. What do I do now?A:As a rule of thumb, make sure to use the Optimized server for Netflix US. Should the Optimized server for Netflix is showing "full" - picking a server that is based in the United States but Optimized for a different streaming service, will not help in unblocking Netflix US. Allow time, usually 10 minutes, for more slots to be available andthenconnect.Q: I am using my phone/tablet and casting/mirroring to my TV but the screen is black and does not play.A:The VPN connection is not 3 ways and casting/mirroring to other devices will not share the connection to other devices, for example a TV and installing CyberGhost on your TV is needed. Connecting the VPN directly from the TV is the only correct approach.Q: Connection is established to the Optimized server for Netflix US but the contents are not for the US but for the same country.A:The current policy of Netflix is that the content displayed is the content for the country where the Netflix subscription is purchased from. As in this way, Netflix limits the content to the originating country, not the IP where the connection is established. An additional Netflix US subscription would be needed. If you are a US resident and traveling outside of the US, only the US portfolio will be unblocked.Q: I am using IPv6 but not IPv4. What can CyberGhost do ?A:In such cases, either contact Support atsupport@cyberghost.roor disable IPv6 and enable IPv4 only.Q: My device is FireStick/FireTV but cannot manage to stream properly. What do I do now ?A:First things first, make sure that the FireStick is the 2nd generation and/or the FireTV is Fire OS 4.6. As 1st generation Fire Stick devices are not compatible due to the lower performance levels and to meet performance output and stability aspects, high processing power is needed. Where 1st generation devices do not compute the high processing power needed to operate the VPN and this will result in an unstable connection and low-performance output.Q: Using CyberGhost still causes high buffering time. Why ?A:Depending on various factors, for the best troubleshooting steps, we recommend to contact Support at:support@cyberghost.ro

Do you accept keys from key generators ?
There are certain key generators for CyberGhost sailing through the Internet, some of them hosted at places, you know exactly what to expect from (nothing good) and some of them promoted on more un-suspicious platforms like Youtube.Either way, as you already might suspect, a key generator does not only sometimes do, what you run it for (generating a key), but also checks out your PC and adds a few codes here and there. Key generators are the perfect tools for transporting Trojans and other malware and one doesn't even have to convince people to use it.So, please beware, there are no official CyberGhost key generators out there. And of course, we neither accept nor support keys obtained from a key generator.

What is a VPN and why do I need one ?
A virtual private network is a service that allows you to connect to the Internet through an encrypted tunnel to ensure your online privacy and protect your sensitive data. VPNs are generally used to secure connections to public Wi-Fi hotspots, hide IP addresses and make your browsing private.If you’re wondering if VPNs are legal, you should know that most countries have no laws banning or restricting VPN usage.This isn’t to say that there aren’t some governments out there that stifle freedom of expression and resort to censorship. Such repressive regimes have resorted tooutlawing the use of VPNs, citing reasons ranging from tackling extremist views to upholding national security.Outside of these countries, VPNs are legal to use. However, bear in mind that activities considered illegal without a VPN are still unlawful even when you connect to VPN servers.Isn't 'regular' security software enough to protect my privacy ?An anti-virus software or firewall does not protect your personal freedom on the Internet, nor does it protect you if your privacy is violated. Nor does it guarantee your anonymity on the Internet. A firewall monitors network traffic and, if necessary, can protect you from unauthorized access, whereas anti-virus software focuses exclusively on harmful software.

Server Security Policy
To get access to one of our servers one needs an RSA key which will be generated individually and is stored secured on an encrypted mobile drive inside a TrueCrypt Volume. The private key on that drive is encrypted with a password.Any direct access to our VPN servers, e.g. for installation and configuration is restricted to four people worldwide (April 2013), among them only CyberGhost VPN members and no worker of a computer center or a service provider, both solely providing the hardware. Furthermore, we have strict contracts with our partners, among them Kaia Global as our own carrier, establishing very harsh security requirements, e.g. that a system has to be wiped completely before a server can be withdrawn.

How can personal data be used against me and how does anonymity protect my privacy ?
The information regarding the transactions you carry out on your computer, the pages you access, the files you load, the music you listen to, the persons you chat with (and the reasons behind all these) have a monetary value, and is actually a valuable asset in the modern world - which is why anyone would be especially interested in these data and spying the Internet surfing behavior of individuals has become a truly profitable business. The results are then sold to interested companies, as customer profiles.These cumulated data are extracted, for example, from cookies, which are generated by your personal computer when accessing an Internet page, and various entities then examine the email addresses we send, or our membership on different forums, etc. After collecting, associating and assigning these data to a person, high amounts of data are concentrated - some of them harmless, some of them less harmless, e. g. when used by organizations in order to formulate actions for alleged violation of copyrights.When talking about curiosity driven fellow citizens, don't disregard your dear neighbors, your boss, or the organized crime. The Internet knows all your good and bad parts and forgets almost nothing. Regardless of the pages you access and the opinions you express - web pages, Blogs, communities, forums, YouTube, Facebook, Flickr etc. - you leave traces everywhere, which only have to be collected and associated by somebody interested in doing so. The number of Internet users increases daily, people who create their own Internet or blog pages, who permanently access other Weblogs and/or are members of a Community - and, starting from the idea of an alleged protection offered by the anonymity of the network, do not refrain themselves from directly expressing their opinions. Suddenly, sexual preferences, medical situations, hate tirades aimed at their superiors or less advantageous photographs become public. Every future employer is grateful for as many unaltered information as possible on a new candidate for a job position, which is why the human resources managers have already been using for a while now the information offered by the Internet when it comes to a possible hiring.The state is also interested in your data. "Who doesn't have anything to hide..." has turned, in this context, into a defining argument frequently supported when discussing if state representatives should access personal computers, deliberately not mentioning that. Through such actions, the fundamental existential rights of an individual are violated, without even partially knowing the intensity of that accessing and the intensity of its effects.The fact that those who agree that the state entities should survey the Internet, minimize the significance of the various online communication forms, as a new way of conversing is one of the issues debated - however, one that distances itself from reality. The young generation, especially those who grew up with the Internet and are almost always online, believes that the communication forms offered by their personal computer is almost the only way of permanently maintaining private and long distance social connections. A surveillance of the operations they carry out in this context would be the equivalent of an agent constantly present in that person's living room.Then a search on Wikipedia for detailed information about certain sensitive subject in your country that is geo-restricted, could turn out a a fatal mistake. In numerous western democracies with currently expanding surveillance structures, issues concerning terrorism are targeted as well as crimes carried out by hackers by stealing data. We can only assume other subjects managed 'under the counter' and discussed little or none at all in public (for example, file-sharing and merchandise management frauds). If you show 'too great' an interest towards a certain subject and if it can be concluded, on forums, that you have certain political orientations, you might be included in a category of people you wouldn't like to be part of.Warning: those who are looking for potential 'terrorism supporters' are not interested in knowing that you are a convinced vegetarian and couldn't even hurt a fly, but they become extremely attentive if, at some point, you express in a harsher way your discontent with the decisions of the current political class. This means you are constantly filling just one side of the account, while the other one is overlooked, so that, in time, a completely erroneous image of your personality is formed.In other countries without democratic traditions you will certainly want to use CyberGhost VPN more often and in many more situations, because, in those states, the standards for defining an unwanted subject are much lower.

Can my real IP address be exposed when being camouflaged by CyberGhost VPN ?
As long as you surf protected by CyberGhost VPN, nobody can find out your real IP address and associate it with the connection owner through the information request sent to the Internet provider.So, can I let go of other security measures when surfing with CyberGhost VPN?No, your anonymity may be significantly endangered if you carelessly reveal personal data, such as emails, names, dates of birth, credit card data, etc. CyberGhost VPN does not monitor at any time the nature of the data you send, which is why it cannot make a difference between sensitive information and unimportant information, blocking the ones in the first category.We also recommend that you keep the safety measures on, for example blocking cookies and continuing to use an antivirus, as well as other safety software solutions, as you normally do. Trojans are just as dangerous in the anonymous networks like they are in the non-anonymous ones.

Can an assigned server compromise my anonymity ?
Can the fact, that I'm logged in to, say, a server in Hamburg, be a hint to where I live and be used to identify me?No, for two reasons:The next best suited server near your real location is not necessarily the one, that is really located next to you. It could also be a server hundreds of miles away, because the keyword is 'load balancing' for maximum performance. If a server farer away is better suited, then that's the one you will be assigned to.Nobody can tell one user from the other - so nobody will know if you have been assigned a server or logged in to the same server from a different country.

Can traffic data compromise my anonymity ?
No. CyberGhost VPN just logs and stores (for a very short time) non-personal data, which in no way can be used to compromise one's anonymity. No content of websites, nor IP addresses, nor any communication data will ever be logged.

How will keys for a secure VPN connection be created ?
The encryption process, at a very basic level, consists of substituting letters and numbers to encode data so that only authorized groups can access and understand it.CyberGhost VPN operates using protected surfing encryption based on the SSL standard (RSA procedure) which, unlike the procedures used by rival products, creates both the public and private keys directly and individually on the users system. This preventsMan in the middleattacks that are possible if key pairs are created on the server.

Is it legal to distribute files on P2P networks ?
None of the current P2P technologies are illegal per definition. The target file of a download or upload might be a violation of copyright laws, though, which is the reason why some people try to criminalize the complete technology. Actually the deal with P2P is as with any other technology or invention, beginning from the first stone age knife: It’s meant as a helpful tool, but can be misused at any given time.The misuse of the P2P technology is the reason why P2P traffic is often strongly observed by certain organizations. In case one is uncertain, if the up- or download of a file might be unlawful, it’s better not to do either one. By rule of thumb one can say, that Open Source files and files in the Public Domain are free to share – though one must also keep in mind, that Public Domain in the USA for example doesn't mean, the same content might be free elsewhere. In certain situations one has to analyze the given situation and decide the sharing of each file individually.It’s important to understand that each download usually also is an upload (if one does not block incoming traffic) and therefore the sharing of a file. If you download an illegal distributed file, you are not only violating copyright laws in a passive manner, but also very actively, if the file segments also are uploaded. Both activities are forbidden by law and enforced very strictly throughout the world.

How can I use a P2P client with CyberGhost VPN ?
After installing the CyberGhost VPN, start the client and launch the "For Torrenting"profile.If you choose a server manually from the profiles, please note that in some countries, the use of Peer to Peer (P2P) technology may be prohibited and your P2P program will not work if you are forced to use a server that is not equipped to work with P2P technology.Some more hints :Clear Cookies!Cookies in your browser keep location information from sites you've previously accessed without being connected to the VPN among other details. Clearing cookies is always a good idea when you wish to use a VPN and ensure that you do NOT enable any location services;Which precautions to consider regarding your anonymity?None. In the seldom case your connection to the CyberGhost VPN network gets interrupted, all your Internet traffic will be blocked until you decide to reconnect or shut down. In the meantime no data will be transmitted.What else should I consider?CyberGhost VPN blocks by nature all incoming traffic, so nobody can access your computer. If other peers in a P2P net also use access restrictions, your downloads are limited to those, who doesn't. If there are enough peers providing a certain file, you’re good to go. If there are not enough, the download rate can be lower than usual.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!

Why does my torrent not work ?
None of the current P2P technologies are illegal per definition, but we have to block P2P protocols on certain servers, either due to strategic (this is traffic that unnecessary slows down other user's traffic) or due to legal reasons in countries where we are forced by providers to block torrent traffic, among them USA, Russia, Singapore, Australia and Hongkong (China).For torrenting, we offer suitable servers in the "For torrenting" profile.Please also note that using CyberGhost for downloading copyrighted content is illegal and an abuse of our service.For further guidance, you can always check out our dedicated setup guides section or contact us via live chat or email.

Why are my P2P download rates so low ?
In some cases, people report very slow download rates. This is due to the fact that CyberGhost does not allow port forwarding, which means that all incoming connections are blocked.This behavior causes other clients to be unavailable, users can no longer connect with your P2P client and you get a weak ID (because you don't seed and just leech). In this case, there is no point in adapting your software's router and/or firewall and opening the necessary port to the client or activating UPnP or NAT-PMP (which provide port forwarding).If CyberGhost allowed port forwarding, a user would be identifiable because a port can be assigned to him.

About P2P protocol encryption
Because some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) slow down P2P activities, certain clients have a protocol encryption implemented to keep P2P traffic from being recognized. Usually one finds the needed settings in the program’s options, e.g. as ‘Outgoing Protocol Encryption’ or something equivalent. Depending on your ISP, you also need to set an outgoing connection to ‘forced’ as well, but keep in mind, that an option like this will also reduce the number of peers you can connect to.

What are the technical principles and equipment of your service ?
The CyberGhost service is based on three main systems plus a few web servers, which are used for hosting the company's web appearance at cyberghostvpn.com :The log-in servers, consisting of one master and one backup server.Different Domain Name Servers (DNS) in different countriesThe exit nodes, where an anonymized user leaves the CyberGhost net and enters the Internet. At this time the service consists of more than 200 OpenVPN servers around the world, mainly Europe and the USA.Log-in ServersThe log-in servers contain each their own database, supplied with the least necessary account data (user name and password), exit node data, system settings and statistics – which all is continuously synced between master and backup server. In case a data center or server fails, the backup server becomes immediately master. The DNS settings of the master-URL will also be changed to the backup server IP within seconds, so the exit nodes can reach the new master server for internal communications without interruption.Domain Name ServerThe Domain Name Servers receive all DNS-queries from the exit nodes and give back the answers in an anonymous way, so for any target servers the respective CyberGhost server will be the only partner to communicate with. They also resolve the routes to the master server, to the exit nodes, and the account management.Exit NodeThe exit nodes connect the clients with the Internet. They receive the DNS-queries from the clients, forward them to the DN-Servers and give back the answers in an anonymous way. Furthermore, on all exit nodes a NAT service with firewall-functions is running, and the exit nodes communicate with the master server during a user log-in and an active connection (with a traffic conveyance every five minutes).CyberGhost works with static shared IP addresses which means that every user has the same address as any other user joining the same server at the same time. That way a single user gets not only a different IP address (different from his original one), but also vanishes into the the background communication noises of all others. The more user a server inhabitant, the better, for your 2nd level anonymity rises with the amount of users. The downside: Many users will slow down a server.Web ServerThe Web-Servers handle the user registration, the account management and system controlling functions. After a user has been registered through the web site, his user name and password-hash will be stored in the log-in systems’ databases.And this is, how it functionsThe typical pattern of a CyberGhost session usually follows these steps (a little bit different depending on what kind of connection one prefers, the Windows client or native OpenVPN).If one uses the Windows client software, he must enter his user name and password after startup. After that happened, he will be connected to an exit node, encrypted with 256bit AES. While connecting, the client PC’s default route and the DNS settings will be adapted to the exit node.If one uses the native OpenVPN configuration files, provided for subscribers in their accounts, he must first extract all files from the downloaded ZIP to the config folder of her local OpenVPN installation. After that one starts the OpenVPN GUI and selects one of the shown connections. While the connection is being established, one needs to enter user name and password. The client PC’s default route and the DNS settings will be adapted to the exit node after a successful log-in.Is the connection to the exit node fully established, all traffic will use this server, encrypted with 256bit AES. All connected clients will share the public IP of the used exit node. Note: While connecting with 256 SSL a new key will be negotiated and renewed every 30 minutes, so all your traffic will be encrypted with 256bit AES.

Which VPN protocols do you support ?
VPN tunneling protocols are a technology that helps VPNs securely send your data over the Internet, something that is necessary if you want to use social media, surf the web, or do almost any other online activity.The various protocols differ in terms of speed and security. Most of them are considered obsolete and insecure, so they are rarely used - like PPTP or L2TP, which we don't offer in any of our applications.Jump to...OpenVPNIKEv2WireGuardOpenVPNReliable, stable, and secure protocol with 18+ experience of open source development.Using OpenVPN you connect to CyberGhost via an encrypted TLS (Transport Layer Security) connection. Originally released in 2002 OpenVPN has become very popular and a de-facto standard, among others, because it isn't impressed by wireless access points, firewalls, NAT-based routers, and HTTP proxy servers and will bypass them without problems, can use different ports, and keeps its speed even on long-distance Internet routing.

VPN vs. Proxy
What is a proxy server ?You can think of proxy servers as an intermediary between you and the web pages you want to access. You give this anonymous web proxy a request, and it will perform it on your behalf.For example, you can use a proxy to get internet access to a streaming video that’s usually blocked in your country.Once you give this request, your IP address (which acts as your identity) gets replaced with an IP provided by the proxy server. This makes it possible for you to access blocked websites.Because your proxy server uses an IP address allocated to a country where the content you want to access is not geo-blocked or restricted, you will be able to gain access to that content now.CyberGhost offers a solution for both ends of the spectrum. For those looking for a proxy solution they can trust, we offer our dedicated browser extensions.CyberGhost VPN Proxy for ChromeCyberGhost VPN Proxy for FirefoxProxy vs. VPNThere’s one significant difference when it comes to proxies and VPNs. And that’s encryption.A proxy can only hide your real IP and give you another address to unblock sites or social media platforms, but your internet activity is not anonymous. The reason is simple: there is no encryption in place.Things are different with a VPN.With a virtual private network, youhide your IPand swap it for a different one. You’re also protected by an encrypted tunnel connecting you to the web page you want to visit.And since VPNs also deploy security protocols like IP or DNS leak protection, you’ll be able to access even restricted content from streaming services likeNetflix US,Hulu, Sling, andplenty of others.To get all-round protection,CyberGhost VPNis your safest bet.

What is DNS-Poisoning ?
Domain Name System (DNS) poisoning and spoofing are types of attacks that leverage vulnerability in DNS servers to divert traffic from a legitimate server to fake servers. After you visit a scam page, you might be wondering how to fix it - even if only you can do it. You need to know exactly what works to protect yourself.DNS cache poisoning are some of the most malicious cyber-threats. If you don't understand how the Internet connects you to websites, you may be led to believe that a website is itself being hacked. In some cases, it may simply be your device. Even worse, cybersecurity suites can only stop some of the threats related to DNS spoofing.

Can I replace my Internet provider with CyberGhost VPN?
No. You need an active Internet connection and, through it, a functional communication, in order for you to use CyberGhost VPN. This is only possible through a real ISP. CyberGhost VPN starts from this connection and then creates an encoded tunnel from your computer to our server. Therefore, your Internet connection becomes more secure and anonymous, completely isolated from your Internet provider.The latter cannot identify the destinations you access, and the Internet pages you open cannot identify the IP address assigned to you by your provider. However, they can view the address we assign, but which cannot be allotted to a connection.

Can CyberGhost VPN be used abusively for illegal activities?
Can we commit crimes with a knife ? Of course, we can. Does this mean that we should give up on cutting bread ? Of course, it doesn't. However, CyberGhost VPN, like all other similar services, is frequently accused of supporting criminal activities. Nothing can be further away from the truth, which is why we take this opportunity to highlight once again the following aspects:CyberGhost VPN is a service with one purpose only: to increase Internet safety, freedom, and individuality - for all users equally. For private persons, for journalists and political activists, but also for those, who frequently support the enforcement of Internet-related restrictions: companies (first of all those in the creative field), state authorities, army, secret services, and political dignitaries. In the end, they all have something to gain from additional security, privacy, and freedom, all possible due to increased anonymity on the Internet.While, through CyberGhost VPN, citizens take charge and make sure that their human rights are respected, this service also offers other people the possibility to carry out their attributions adequately, for, undoubtedly, these anonymity possibilities are also used by the criminal investigation authorities, the secret services, and the army when carrying out check-ups. However, data security, unlimited privacy, and the freedom to access all content elements on the Internet must not be reserved for selected groups.We believe that security, freedom, and the private sphere of all Internet users is based on anonymity and, consequently, restricting these possibilities of anonymously accessing the network would eliminate all of it.The fact that CyberGhost VPN can be theoretically used by criminal organizations as well shouldn't be a reason to discriminate against the service. People, and not the instruments they use, commit the deeds in question - the criminals having, no doubt, greater possibilities to hide their identity than the law-abiding citizens. To hide behind false identities, the criminals steal mobile telephones, forge documents, abusively use wireless Internet connections and, through fraudulently loaded programs, take over the control of an entire computer, which they later use to carry out their activities. In conclusion, people with fraudulent intentions can surf the Internet anonymously at any given time: big and small criminals alike, but also repressive governments. If they have enough know-how, time, and money, they don't even need a service like CyberGhost VPN.On the other hand, the common people, who obey the law, benefit from more restricted means. The same situation is valid for the militants for civil rights, whistle-blowers, activists for political rights in oppressed states and regions, environmentalists, journalists, supporters of human rights, and all the other persons who get involved in such actions for themselves and for their fellow beings and who promote the interests of large groups of people. We have created CyberGhost VPN for them, to offer them the unrestricted and risk-free possibility to exert their right to freedom, to more privacy, and to enhanced Internet security, so they can benefit from better protection against criminals, so they can get involved in the political field without putting themselves at risk and to offer them freedom of movement in the social field.This service also offers the secret services and the army the possibility to anonymously plan and apply for strategies and grants the police investigation authorities the freedom to act undercover and to efficiently investigate law-breakers.

Are there any figures concerning the abusive use of the CyberGhost VPN network ?
We have statistics regarding the requests we have received so far from investigation authorities, individuals, and companies. If we consider this figure to be a standard for abusive usage, we must say that the illegal usage of the service is very low. For example, in 2008 we only received 32 requests to investigate crime suspects, 177 requests in 2009, and 99 in 2010, all this taking into account that the number of users has increased almost four times, from 160,000 in 2008 to approximately 600,000 in 2010. Currently, CyberGhost VPN has over 1.5 million account holders, and the number of crimes reported is still low. It is obvious that a very low percentage of our users commit crimes on the Internet.The conclusion stands even if, instead of the number of requests received, we take as a standard the seriousness of the crimes committed by abusively using the service. Most of the requests report petty crimes, for example, frauds in the merchandise field, a very low number of requests covering serious crimes, and none of them targeting terrorism acts.As above, newer statistics show the same trend, as can be investigated in ourTransparency Report, published on the CyberGhost homepage.

I have a suspicion about one of your users. Can I ask for him to be checked ?
No. We are simply service providers. CyberGhost VPN does not operate outside the legal system and therefore cannot ignore the legislation in force. If there is no data communication request issued by a court, if we did check up on that person, we would violate the legal provisions.Nevertheless, even if there were a court request, we cannot identify a user of our network. The same mechanisms that offer protection to respectable citizens, journalists, and other persons against data espionage and more serious deeds make it impossible for us to identify or track users suspected of having committed crimes using the CyberGhost VPN network.There is only the theoretical possibility to intercept them, based on a court order, to record future surfing on a specific account (for example, to survey the activities of a terrorist cell). However, such operations require that, in addition to the court request, the relevant investigation authorities communicate us a connection IP or log-in data. In practice, this theoretical hypothesis is almost completely void of significance, and we have never used it.
