How To Use CyberGhost VPN 2023

In this CyberGhost Review, I’m gonna show you everything that you need to know about CyberGhost before de

In this CyberGhost Setup Tutorial, I will show you step by step how to purchase your VPN at the best price, how to use CyberGhost VPN with the correct settings and gain secured access to streaming & Torrenting sites. Lastly, I will show you some cool and unique features that CyberGhost VPN has to offer. 

Now, let’s get started!

1. Pricing

First, you can click on the link in the description or type this into your browser. It will take you to my special CyberGhost discount page where you will get the best deal currently available.

Now let me give you an overview of CyberGhost’s pricing and how their discounts work.

You can get CyberGhost for $12.99 per month but if you want to be practical, you can get the one-year plan for $47.88 annually and save almost 70%. 

If you’re going to be using a VPN long-term then the three years plus three months plan is going to save you the most money as it will only cost you $87.75 which is the equivalent of just 2 25 per month. This will save you almost 83% and that’s massive. 

So, if you are satisfied with the performance of this VPN provider, then after your free trial or during your first weeks of using it, I recommend choosing or continuing with the three-year plan as this is the most budget-friendly plan CyberGhost offers. 

If the performance doesn’t meet your expectations and needs, then you can request a refund and get your money back. When it comes to the refund, you have 14 days to get your money back if you are subscribed to the monthly plan. With the one-year and three-year plans, you have 45 days to test the waters and get your money back if you’re not satisfied with it.

You can pay using your credit card, Paypal, or bitcoin if you prefer to be more anonymous and use cryptocurrency. 

Once you are done registering and verifying your email address, you’re ready to install and start using the software!

2. Open and Connect

Once you open CyberGhost, you will land directly to the “start a connection” page where you will also see a button that says “best server location”. This button spoon feeds you with a shortlist of recommended servers but you can still explore and use other servers from the options on the left side.

CyberGhost is known as the VPN with the most number of servers. To save a server that you like, just click the star icon on that server to include it on your Favorites. This will make your life easier as you won’t have to scroll and find your desired server the next time you use CyberGhost. 

You can also purchase your Dedicated IP token here if you don’t want to share your IP address or choose a special NoSpy server here which are servers based in Romania for extra security not being under the jurisdiction of the Fourteen Eyes. If you’re up for torrenting or streaming, CyberGhost has a dedicated list of optimized servers for your purpose. All you have to do is choose a server here and then you can already enjoy torrenting or unblocked entertainment platforms for streaming knowing that your identity is totally secured.

3. Unblocking Netflix

Let’s try opening Netflix without using VPN first. So, my original location now is in the Philippines and what I’m going to do is search for a series that is only available on the US server, Twin Peaks, for example. Obviously, we won’t be able to find it since this series is blocked in other countries except US.

Now, let’s do a test using the optimized server for Netflix in the US so we can trick Google that our location is in the US. Our goal is to search for Twin Peaks to see if CyberGhost can really unlock US Netflix shows using its streaming server. Let’s check Netflix now while we are connected to their optimized server and as you can see, it is still working fine. Let’s search for Twin Peaks again and there you go, it already reveals the series we want to find which is only available in the US. If you want to find other shows that are only available in certain countries, try connecting to other streaming-optimized servers for that country and let us know in the comments section below if it works!

Aside from Netflix, you can also unblock other streaming platforms such as Hulu, BBC iPlayer, HBO, Disney +, ESPN, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar.

4. Torrenting

Moving on with torrenting, CyberGhost is one of those VPN software that still allows you to download torrent files while connected to them. While other VPNs might discourage torrenting, CyberGhost actually encourages torrenting and even dedicated a set of torrenting-optimized servers for you. I tried connecting to their Canada torrenting server and it turns out to be working perfectly with the movie I’m downloading using BitTorrent.

5. Key Features

Let’s dive into some of its specific key features. If you want to prioritize certain apps on your desktop to use the VPN every time you launch them, you can do so with the feature called “split tunneling”. To enable this, just go to the Smart Rules options on the lower-left corner of the app and click on App Rules. You have to enable that button and then you can just easily choose the apps that you like to run with the VPN.

Every time you connect to a server, CyberGhost will choose which protocol is best suited for you through an automatic selection. You can view this setting and make adjustments on it by clicking on the gear icon below and selecting the CyberGhost VPN option. You will see the different protocols on the drop-down menu and from there, you can modify how CyberGhost goes about selecting a protocol to secure your data encryption for you. 

Accidents are inevitable and sometimes, your Internet connection could even crash while using VPN. The good thing about CyberGhost is the “automatic kill switch”. This feature pauses everything you’re doing on the Internet to prevent possible leaks until the VPN connection is back up again. You don’t have to activate this feature as it is already turned on for you from the beginning.

6. Customer Care

Speaking of customer support, CyberGhost only has 24 7 live chat and email support channels. Not really good news for those who prefer speaking to a real person over the phone but their customer service level is actually great. You can go to their website and click on the Support button on the lower right corner of your screen. Here, I typed in “logging policy” for example and I got a list of articles I can read. Since I want to show you how their live chat support system works, I clicked on the Live Chat button and I waited until I got Karen, their representative. I’ve tried chatting with their team multiple times and they are always quick to respond, in fact, their average response time is 2 minutes. They respond promptly and the representatives seem knowledgeable about any issues.
