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

14 reviews"@nealasher I like Cyberghost, its a no log vpn, checked and proved, @CyberGhost_EN used it for 9 years now"
"...ool Or you could tell the truth. NordVPN - Panama ExpressVPN - Delaware Surfshark - Netherlands ProtonVPN - Switzerland Mullvad - Sweden PIA - USA CyberGhost - Romania"
"@zwodden Can you help out with CyberGhost vpn log ??"
"@JOKAQARMY1 cyberghost being based in Romania has no such legal requirement"
"...raeli 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"
"Renaming ≠ Anonymity -Changing your handle from "JohnDoe" to "CyberGhost" is not enough. Scrapers and archives have already indexed your profile with your real ID. -You need to burn (delete) those accounts and start fresh with a pseudonym and zero connection to your real identity."
"...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...."
"@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."
"...N @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."
"...VPN pays up to 40% commission per referral. The 2015 Google/UC Berkeley study found that Crossrider (now Kape Technologies, which owns ExpressVPN and CyberGhost) controlled 42-44% of the entire ad injection market. Kape also owns vpnMentor and WizCase, review sites where Kape VPNs consistently rank highly. It is imperative that privacy advocates not mislead readers."
"@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."
"pretty sure all the VPNs owned by Kape (ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, NordVPN, IPVanish, many others) are Mossad honeypots Proton apparently a honeypot as well"
