What the Community Says
CyberGhost generally comes across as a solid “set it and forget it” VPN that does the basics well. People often say it’s easy to use, works fine for everyday browsing, and is good enough for streaming without a lot of fuss. It also gets mentioned as a decent pick if you want something affordable and straightforward.
The biggest hesitation people bring up is trust and ownership—some don’t like that it’s tied to a larger parent company and worry about what that means for privacy, even if the service markets itself as no-logs. There are also complaints about reliability at times, like not being able to log in or the service seemingly going down, which can be extra annoying if you need it for work. If you want lots of advanced controls, some end up switching to something more power-user friendly.
Strengths
- Easy to use apps
- Good for basic browsing
- Works well for streaming
- Decent speeds for everyday use
- Often feels budget-friendly
Weaknesses
- Occasional outages or login issues
- Ownership concerns for privacy-minded people
- Not as many advanced settings as some competitors
- Can be frustrating if you need always-on reliability for work

50 reviews"pretty sure all the VPNs owned by Kape (ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, NordVPN, IPVanish, many others) are Mossad honeypots Proton apparently a honeypot as well"
"@CyberGhost_EN Service getting worse, changed from iKEV to Wireguard & still it keeps hanging / looping when losing or switching servers. 6 years & a few months into renewing & wish I hadn't bothered as it's more trouble than it's worth"
"@MaxNordau Makes sense, Israelis do disguise surveillance products as tech products. Some examples: TM Signal - logs Signal chats for Israeli review Or their VPN honeypots disguised as privacy products- ExpressVPN/PIA/GhostVPN/etc. All Israeli owned, for sure not used for data collection"
"⚠️ Both ExpressVPN and CyberGhost are owned by Kape Technologies, which has significant Israeli & unit 8200 connections ⚠️ Israeli Teddy Sagi (vi Unikmind)  • Former name: Crossrider, an adware/malware company that built platforms for injecting ads into software."
"@CyberGhost_EN My VPN Client 8.4.11.14569 suddenly stopped working on Windows. Says can’t start because i don’t have a internet connection. Also can’t login to my web account."
"@CyberGhost_EN Service not available?! Cant even log in on website…."

"@Joanreud07 Nor of them is working and is cyberghost vpn I de use"
"@romain280_ @ProtonVPN @MayaMatt_ @PlayStation And all of those services are stupid for hosting servers in a surveillance state. Several of the big VPNs like ExpressVPN, CyberGhost etc are owned by Israeli companies completely."
"This ranking tells you everything about affiliate economics and nothing about privacy. NordVPN and Surfshark are owned by the same parent company (Nord Security, merged 2022). Listing them as separate #1 and #2 competitors without disclosure is either uninformed or deceptive. NordVPN had a server breach in 2018 that exposed TLS and OpenVPN CA keys. They concealed it for 18 months until security researchers forced disclosure on Twitter. That’s not how privacy companies operate. NordVPN pays up to 40% commission per referral. The 2015 Google/UC Berkeley study found that Crossrider (now Kape..."
"@GrupoH1313 @cheebo @CyberGhost_EN Looks like theres a major outage of some kind, I've been in support chat queue for 20 minutes https://t.co/yna46HN44u"

"...ReclaimTheNetHQ Israeli firm now controls 8 vpn services A big concern that an Israeli firm now controls 30% to 40% of the VPN market. ExpressVPN , CyberGhost, Private Internet Access (PIA) , ZenMate , Hotspot Shield , Betternet , Touch VPN...."
"@Dollartreetips1 @Stake Buy proxy ip pia should work or use cyberghost vpn switch to Nigeria it should work"
"@thecoastguy Kape Technologies (Israel): A significant player, owning ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access (PIA), and ZenMate, previously operated under the name Crossrider with a controversial adware past. Aura/Pango Group (Israel/US): Owns Hotspot Shield, Betternet, Touch VPN,"
"@ChibiReviews @ProtonVPN @NordVPN @expressvpn @CyberGhost_EN Do you want more and more UK users to use your services or do you want to implement features that defeat their purpose? Even financially speaking, you'd be better off not caving in ngl."
"@XFreeze @elonmusk If censorship goes on in EU i will get cyberghost vpn again to reach my account"

"@ForeverScept @AugusteCom30151 @LozzaFox @Keir_Starmer @grok Yeah it’s unfortunate, Kape acquired so many of them too. ExpressVPN Cyberghost PIA Just to name a few…. PIA used to be a favourite of mine too, many moons ago."

"@CyberGhost_Vevo @weabo_trash Yo Cy! How was ur Christmas and new years bro?"
"Lost in a sea of pixels, I'm searching for the invisible walls #CyberGhost"
"@iamwilsxn My research: PIA VPN is owned by Kape Technologies, a company fully controlled by Israeli billionaire Teddy Sagi since 2023. Kape acquired PIA in late 2019, integrating it into a portfolio that includes other VPNs like ExpressVPN and CyberGhost Fuck Zionism.✊ @NordVPN ftw"
"@iAnonymous3000 This graph by Windscribe needs to be revognized more. Nord pulled out of influencer marketing and now focused on mostly website affiliates, in that place is Surfshark now. Similarly, Cyberghost and PIA was replaced by ExpressVPN in recent few years, all owned by Kape."
