CyberGhost is one of best value VPN services we have tested, only beaten by ExpressVPN in features and performance if not in cost. We were impressed by the good device support they offer, including Apple TV, Android TV, gaming consoles and router support. Configuring our ASUS router was quick and simple using their well-written support articles. We did find the speeds to be slightly slower when connecting from our Sydney location to International VPN servers, but the slight reduction in bandwidth was not usually noticeable when browsing or streaming content. You can optionally pay for a dedicated IP address, something most other VPN services do not provide. One negative is the limit of 7 simultaneous devices. This may not be enough if you use a VPN on each device rather than configure a VPN on your network router, something many ISP provided routers do not allow. Having to sign up to a 3 year plan is a bit cheeky. The money-back guarantee of 45 days is longer than all other VPNs we have tested, where 30 days seems to have become a standard.

Summary
CyberGhost is one of the best VPN services you can choose and have over 15 years of experience in offering VPN solutions, something evident in their solid features, wide device support and large geographic coverage. They were let down slightly in our performance testing, they only offer 7 simultaneous device connections, and you will need to sign up to the 3 year plan to get the best pricing. However, the money-back guarantee of 45 days is industry leading where 30 days seems to have become the standard.
