I was initially thrilled about the company's privacy-friendly Romanian jurisdiction, located outside of US intelligence-sharing agreements, and its crack team of German developers, who seemed eager to address questions large and small about CyberGhost's history and vision. And the service is prepared to roll out a new suite of privacy tools in the coming weeks, all while remaining one of the cheapest VPNs we've reviewed at $2.75 per month for a 3-year plan.
Its Netflix, gaming and torrenting-focused and proprietary NoSpy servers appear to be attracting more praise than complaints, with good results in my own tests as well. Since then, CyberGhost has seen a significant performance boost following the addition of more than 2,000 servers to the company's fleet over the past year, beating Norton LifeLock's Secure VPN in our speed tests.
Its low price made it worth considering if you needed to change the appearance of your location online, but not if you wanted best-in-class

In CNET's first evaluation on CyberGhost in 2019, we praised the service for its roster of competitive features, but noted lackluster results in speed tests, some problems with its privacy tools and - most importantly - security verification that it failed due to its lack of obfuscation technology.
