How Safe is Cyberghost? Clearly explained

With Cyberghost you surf anonymously and, according to the manufacturer, also safely. As with all VPN services, however, you rely on the trustworthiness of the programmers. We clarify whether the tool really does what it says on the tin.

What is cyberghost and how safe is it?

Cyberghost is an internet anonymization service designed to disguise your actions online.

• If, for example, hackers or other users try to track down and track a download, this trace can only be traced back to the cyberghost server in the respective country.
• Technically, this works as follows: If you install and use Cyberghost on your PC, all of your Internet traffic is routed through the manufacturer's servers.
• Only Cyberghost knows your private IP address. You end up surfing with thousands of other cyberghost users at the same address.
• As with all VPN services, you as a user are dependent on the manufacturer. Because Cyberghost hides your Internet activities, but basically has access to all of your data itself. The manufacturer could theoretically pass these on to third parties such as the police or public prosecutor. So you can still track your trail.
