Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
CyberGhost suits EU buyers who want a low long-term price, a recent public audit and the longest refund window here. The 26-month plan was USD 56.94 (USD 2.19 a month), then USD 56.94 a year — about EUR 50.73 and EUR 1.95 a month at the ECB rate of 2 October 2026. The money-back guarantee is 45 days on longer plans but only 14 days on the monthly plan. Seven devices are allowed, fewer than most rivals.
Its privacy audit page describes the third Deloitte Audit Romania engagement under ISAE 3000 (Revised), published on 24 February 2026, after audits in 2022 and 2024. Scope included server configuration, change management, incident response and the token-based dedicated IP system; the report is downloadable. CyberGhost is based in Bucharest, Romania. Its H1 2026 transparency report lists 117,539 DMCA complaints and 9 police requests.
What is thinner: the feature and protocol specification is less detailed on the pages we opened than for Mullvad or ExpressVPN, so the composition score is lower. Trustpilot shows 4.0 from 24,121 reviews; complaints include occasional freezing, slow speeds, the 7-device cap and auto-connect choosing the nearest rather than the favourite server.
