Network / WiFi Protection
With the VPN for PC, protecting yourself from the dangers of unencrypted public WiFi hotspots is as easy as pushing a button.

FAQ

What is a Windows 11 VPN?
Using a Windows VPN on your PC enhances your online browsing experience by providing an extra layer of anonymity. When you connect to a VPN server, your IP address is replaced with that of the server, much like wearing a cloak that conceals your true identity while navigating the internet. If anyone attempts to monitor your online activities, they will only see the address of the cloak (the VPN server) you're wearing, rather than your actual IP address. This ensures that your online actions remain private and protected.

Can I use CyberGhost VPN on multiple devices simultaneously?
Yes, it allows you to use your account on up to seven devices simultaneously.

Does CyberGhost work with streaming services like Netflix?
Yes, it offers dedicated servers optimized for streaming, allowing you to access various streaming platforms, including Netflix.

Can CyberGhost VPN bypass censorship in restrictive countries?
It can help bypass censorship by connecting to servers outside the restricted country, providing you with access to blocked content.

Does CyberGhost slow down internet speeds?
While using a VPN might slightly decrease your internet speed due to encryption and routing, the app aims to minimize any noticeable impact on your connection speed.

Is CyberGhost VPN compatible with peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing?
Yes, it supports P2P file sharing and offers optimized servers for torrenting and other peer-to-peer activities.
