Why beginners should look here

Instead of a wall of locations, CyberGhost offers servers tagged for specific streaming platforms and activities. You pick the task and it does the rest, which removes almost all the setup anxiety.

Speed and streaming

Its purpose-built streaming servers opened most libraries we tried in our impressions, and everyday speeds were fast. The 9,000+ server count is the largest on our list.

Security and privacy

You get a no-logs policy, a kill switch, and automatic protection on untrusted Wi-Fi. The longest plan carries an unusually generous money-back window, which lowers the risk of trying it.
