Frequently asked questions about CyberGhost
Does CyberGhost work reliably in Switzerland?
Yes. CyberGhost has several servers in or close to Switzerland and delivers steady speeds between 200–800 Mbit/s on typical Swiss fibre connections in our tests.
Can I use Swiss streaming services like SRF Play from abroad with CyberGhost?
With a Swiss server location SRF Play usually works reliably. Other geo-restricted services (Netflix CH, RTS) often work too – but providers rotate IPs, so nothing is guaranteed.
Is my data logged?
Reputable VPNs run a strict no-logs policy, often independently audited. CyberGhost documents this in its privacy policy. Pay attention to the audit date – audits older than 18 months lose weight.
Does CyberGhost slow my internet down?
Every VPN costs some speed because traffic is encrypted and routed through an additional server. With CyberGhost on a nearby server the loss is usually under 15% – barely noticeable in daily use.
Can I use CyberGhost on multiple devices at once?
Yes. The standard license allows parallel use on multiple devices – typically phone, tablet, computer and optionally smart TV or router. Exact number: see license details above.
