CyberGhost - Free VPN & Proxy for Android
Cyberghost really is a great app and I completely understand that you guys need to make money. Just a bit disappointing when you suddenly have to pay for something that used to be free. You really should consider taking the free out of the title. You know full well that when someone looks for a VPN they are looking for something that can change their server to another country and not a silly wifi hotspot protection. Come on. You guys have a good reputation. Don't ruin it by pulling the wool over people's eyes.
Best VPN service there is by far. I've had Cyberghost ever since the Edward Snowden revelations and would recommend no other VPN provider. Cyberghost is installed on both my laptops, Tomato router, and Android smartphone, and works flawlessly. The initial V. 6 update was a little shaky, however the bugs seem to have since been fixed in recent updates. Definitely worth the premium subscription! Keep up the great work!
Unusable. Used to be a case of launching the app and within a few touches of a button , the connection was secure. Now it's a series of nag screens and prompts to upgrade. It also seems to have lost the ability to use over mobile data connections as seamlessly and transparently and instead insists upon using WiFi or requesting a "profile" change (which there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do ).
Gota premiumversion. Good idea but a lot of work required to make it working well. 1. It starts every time in hot spot mode. Safe Surfing was found by me only by accident. Not obvious control. Far from obvious. 2. After the night you will find that whatever mode you are shown to be is not true. NO PROTECTION AT THAT MOMENT! Looks like it has. But when you go in you realize it says 'preparing'. You press button 'Start protection' and then often it is just a long wait with no result. Don't wait. Nothing will come. Better try stop protection and start again. With Surf this generally works. With hot spot it never does. One has to reboot the phone to get it working. This app is too raw. Need work at it. However when you get it working it's good. You can even choose the country in this mobile version now. But it's not seamless experience. Not yet.
Love the app and the anonymity it provides. However I purchased the yearly subscription directly through the app and got an anonymous CG account. My device count is 4/5 but I have no idea what the 4th device is and don't see how to manage my devices since I only have the automatically created CG account. Any help is appreciated.
Tell me when do people use a vpn maximum of the time? To bypass the blocked content by university and colleges ryt? Because college blocked some contents. And the blocked content includes all the vpn servers. So why the heck you developer people don't understand that. The app cannot even connect to its server. I have used other vpn which creates a new server everyday so that it can't be detected. Work on it guys. If it connects i will definitely buy the pro version. Thanks
I fixed the problem with the app not working. I found that if I uninstalled VPN Dialogs and Enterprise VPN services System apps, I wouldn't be able to use VPN but luckily I restore the apps using Titanium Backup as root user and the VPN started working again. Now I can happily use this app in college being anonymous and not blocked by them and can use YouTube there. In any case 5 stars for being a perfect working app and it works perfectly on any device.
I liked free, but wanted closer locations, so I bought it. Only connects to la, Miami or NY even on paid version. But the worst thing is it disconnects and reconnects on your real IP without notifying you! This is a serious security issue. I will never trust this company again. IP exposed when it was supposed to keep my secured! Completely unacceptable. I will be contacting for a refund! Do not use unless you don't mind if it disconnects and your real IP is exposed.
Great app - but it isn't free. The VPN works for a week or two then you have to purchase the upgrade to continue. Calling the app a 'Free VPN & Proxy' is therefore an outright lie. The only feature that's free is the WiFi protection. Unless I'm missing something?
big improvement ... this was my only VPN provider for a long while, I liked the freeness of it. but now we can't select country without upgrading to premium, not everyone can pay for a premium service, maybe you could have some ad supported version?. luckily there still is a few free alternatives on google play
a response to the cyberghost team: I am aware of that, but what I am complaining about is the inability to chose a specific country like in the previous update(s). why would you make it a premium only feature when it is one of the key features of your app?
I liked 5.5 a lot but since the update I cannot find a way to change the server I am connecting to. I used to be able to choose the country my data was sent to but now it seems to only send to my own country. I sorely miss this feature, please add it again
Cyberghosyt vpn was one of yhe most liked vpn. But now this app became a scrap after v.6 update i hate it most this sending data to limit, but recieved packets is at 0. I hate thos version we want old version of cs vpn plzzz
The app 5.5 version had kept failing connecting to servers. After the rapid and positive pointers from support team, uninstalling, rebooting, and install this app again, this problem was fixed. Don’t hesitate to contact support team through in-app support should you encounter any problem. They’re doing great.
TouchVPN wirks very great but..Stay away from Cyberghost. If you used cyberghost then exit cyberghost and went to activate TouchVPN then you got busted. Cannot view Netflix. Because cyberghost is a virus and gives information to Netflix. Two different apps worked, but when I activate cyberghost, then itvreveal my infos to Netflix.
Uninstalled! After a few years of using this app, it has now become annoying, a bit confusing and not at all user friendly, like it's predecessors. Was fun while it lasted! On to the next app...
Hands down best VPN! (My opinion). I love what you guys do. It doesn't matter what other people say ( their own opinion) this is completely free. Yes you gotta wait sometimes, yes you don't have access to all the "good" stuff but hey you are using a free version so don't go giving bad reviews asking for more when you didn't buy premiun. Cyberghost you guys are doing a fine job! Keep it up! I'm definitely going premiun soon.
New update removes what was the best parts of this "formerly free" VPN. Now you have to register an account to continue "free" services. Also, when I click Upgrade, there are no plans displayed. (Not sure that is the best way to make money guys.) Hopefully the Devs are reading all of these one star reviews since they dropped 6.0 on us and fix it.
Not 'truly free' anymore. I was not able to find option to VPN my mobile data. I am shifting to other free VPN service now. I used this for a year but now due to this new 'free wifi only vpn' policy and confusing GUI, i am shifting to something else.
I'm not keen at all on the new interface. I now have to swipe across the bottom of the screen whereas before you had a matrix of 6 boxes and just tapped directly on the service you wanted. Huge amount of wasted screen space now & poorer user experience. Please reconsider giving us an option to choose which interface to use. I'm a paid subscriber.
I am really disappointed with the update, not allowing us to choose what country you want or being allowed to use over data connectivity. These are 2 massive flaws. I hope I dont connect and end up in an european country, go to Google and find the language is different. This used to be the best VPN out there but now it's just another VPN. I would prefer ads if it is really needed, as long as we stay anonymous.
Never is able to connect to the servers. Tried reinstalling still doesn't work. It's a shame really, the PC app works fine for me. Would of loved to use it on my phone but alas...
It used to be the best VPN app , now it became just garbage and fake free , you can't even choose the servers. Good job on ruining it Devs , being the best VPN app and now it's one of the worst if not the worst. Do not download this app , as i said it became trash. Much better the PC version. Uninstalled.
Had some trouble with recovering my purchase at first. But after uninstalling and unsubscribing I left the app off my phone for a few hours I tried it all again and it worked! Probably just a time delay. I love this VPN for both mobile and desktop use!
In what way is this free? All the options except protect wi-fi say to upgrade. Presumably there is a limited time trial which has now expired. Fair enough, but that is not FREE! Will never trust people who use fake advertising, and nor should you if you have any sense.
This has been the best I've used in a long time. Only used CG a very long time ago and it wasn't the best so it's really good to see it go along way. Will be putting it on my pc later :)
How I wish I had read the reviews before updating. I used to use Cyberghost twice a year to access BBC iPlayer and Sky Go while on holiday. Now that you can't change the server of origin, the App is useless to me as the advertised "free" VPN. It's all well and good Cyberghost stating in their reply "it's still has free VPN and wi-fi protection" but due to "load balancing" you can no longer select the server of origin, i.e. UK, to use these services without paying, it has become a useless piece of "free" junk. I will uninstall and leave a once great "free" app for their dwindling premium client base!
This app became the worst. Now you can only choose a country if you pay! It used to be free. Ugh. Edit: yeah so, this is no longer a VPN. This isn't free, false advertisement!!!!!
Why do everybody rated it so bad. This is a best vpn app I've ever seen. Everyone should change there review to 5 stars. And I'm also the premium user in windows os.
The recent upgrade is the worst. I uses to use this every day, now I can't even figure out how to login! Well done for ruining a simple and effective vpn app..... Edit: For a free user you didn't have to login, thereby protecting anonymity. Now you do. I don't like that.
Used this for a while. Used to be able to connect to UK servers for free. Needed to use UK to access certain aspects of certain accounts. Now I cannot do that. Just connects to Bucharest or somewhere random. Totally ruined it. Other ones out there free that do the same job. Shame. I used to love this app6
It says I must have wifi/data I'm wondering how am I writing this man :D why am I seeing this? Help I tried both wifi and data nothing happens or am I already blacked out , peace from Egypt!
It was great for the first month, but now everyone I try to use it it says to upgrade, then when I go to upgrade it then recovers my subscription, then I go to use it again and it asks me to upgrade. Just keeps going around in circles
The GUI change is welcoming however a major down side is that you can no longer active CyberGhost while on a mobile network unless you pay for premium. This is a step in the wrong direction.
Awesome app. Good job you beautiful people. Thank you so much for your fast response. My problem solved and I just re rated it 5 Star. I recommend my friends to use CG, because this is the best compared to other apps in the market.
Doesn't automatically start like PIA does on Android phone. Very disappointed and might have to ask for refund after only 1 hour if this feature is missing. I need it to start and run when the phone is turned on... Apart from that, speed and encryption is good and so is coverage. There is also no killswitch to stop traffic if the VPN loses connection, so at the moment a lot of traffic goes unprotected. Take a look at PIA for the sort of features people need.
Old free version was great. Only used it about once a month so not worth paying for. Like everyone else I'll find another one. Bad move cyber ghost.
It really does work.. who ever dont like this app is either dumb or should get a life
Hi Guys I'm a bit puzzled with what this app now does and doesn't do. Does the free plan provide a vpn on cellular data or just a vpn while using WiFi? It's really not clear what the difference is when it goes on about WiFi protection. I don't use WiFi much. Do I have a vpn on cellular data? Thanks J
by Y####:
I think this is the best free VPN app for number one protection, that being public wifi. Every business such as McDonald's, Wal-mart has public wifi. Some free VPN apps by the default option don't even offer wifi protection at all. Once the WiFi is turned on , the apps turn themselves off. So this is a great idea for a free VPN app . But I wish you would increase the number of servers from 28 , I believe to maybe 80 which would help speed up the wait time connecting to a server since many users can't connect to servers from other countries in the free app. But over all great work , since public wifi is the norm today, keep up the great work, bye .
