You can also connect to servers optimized for torrenting, gaming, and special No Spy servers that add an extra level of privacy. They are Netflix servers in 7 countries, plus servers optimized for steaming channels in Germany, Italy, India, the UK, Brazil, Canada, and more. When connecting to the VPN, you can choose a specific country, the best server, or an optimized server based on your needs. The IP leak test showed a NY IP address and not my real IP addressĬyberGhost is always adding servers to its list, and at last check, it was closing in on 8,000 servers in 90 countries. I was happy to see there were no leaks and that CyberGhost is protecting my anonymity. I ran an IP Leak test on to see if my real IP or DNS information would appear, or it would just show my remote VPN IP address.
However, it was minor and didn’t affect the quality of the Netflix stream.Ī minor drop in speed when connected to servers far from homeĬyberGhost is based out of Romania, which Isn’t a part of the 5/9/14 Eyes agreement, and has a strict no-log policy. It was only when I ran a speed test that I saw there was a slight difference. I connected to a US server (I’m located in Europe), and there was no noticeable drop in my speed.

When I first started using CyberGhost, it took a while to connect, and I would frequently get frustrated by slow connection speeds. I’ve been using CyberGhost for several years, even before I started testing VPNs, and I’m impressed with how it has improved over the years. To round out the top 10, since everyone likes a round number, I included four more VPNs that are good but just missed out on being upper echelon for one reason or another.
In addition to evaluating the VPNs to make sure that they provide the services I need, I also ranked them based on:Īt the end of the testing period, I had a list of six VPNs that did a great job and had the top grades based on my ranking factors. Some VPNs did a great job bypassing firewalls, but I saw that my real data was exposed when I ran IP and DNS leak tests. Some focused on keeping users anonymous, but I could not bypass the firewall at work or stream Netflix US, Hulu, the BBC iPlayer, and other streaming sites.
Bypass firewalls to access geo-blocked contentĪfter months of testing VPNs, I found that there are just a few VPNs that excel in all three areas.
There are three main reasons to get a VPN:
