Gaming and Streaming

This is the best VPN I could find. I could with it play on Minecraft servers where I have banned on IP. I could stream game without lags :).

Hard to find a substitute VPN that is better than Mullvad - anywhere

First rate security, no shilling themselves around on the Internet with aggressive ad campaigns. Quiet, competent and serious. Look into their VPN and you'll find all the important features. Sometimes it can take a day for support to get back to you, but when they do it is never with some obviously stupid answer that wastes your time. They try to really solve the problem. Have used their service for several years, and won't be leaving soon.

Do they keep logs?

They seem unclear on that one no peer to peer for my needs makes it less worrisome.The low amount of servers is a minus,and for a time it had a Turkish name as where the location was last year. Speed is decent,do they keep logs?If you want net freedom no VPN should. Useless with BBC too.

Disconnects Often. Killswitch Fails, which defeats the entire purpose...

I bought (renewed) an 18 month subscription to CG recently. I had been using it for a year prior and had some issues, but on renewal, I was required to install an update (v7 for Windows, I think) Disconnects several times each day, and regular crashes. In many cases when the app crashed, the killswitch was not activated, leaving my online activity exposed. I actually wrote a script to attempt to compensate for this that would ping test 8.8.8.8 for connectivity and reboot the PC if not connected. This was an OK workaround. it caught disconnects normally 4-6 times daily and rebooted, thereby restoring the connection. This process failed though, when the killswitch failed to activate, exposing my connection. This happened 5 times during the 2 months I used it. I received DMCA alerts from my ISP each time, and was told that my service will be cancelled if it happened again. I immediately switched to NordVPN. Connection speed is exponentially faster, and the connection has not disconnected once in over a week since I installed. I think that the most direct cause for the speed increase (and probably less frequent disconnects) with NordVPN is that CyberGhost has no (or limited, I wasn't able to find any) servers in USA that allow P2P. I wasn't aware of this when I signed up for their service, and was always required to connect to a VPN server in a different country with a huge performance hit. With NordVPN, I get many blazing fast, reliable server options that support P2P in a city nearby. I hope this is helpful to some. I wish I had seen this review before I signed up for CyberGhost's service.

Technically superior to a lot of other services, but then out of left field, comes a surprise you weren't expecting.

I liked this service, but I won't beg. I opted for a years service and tried to pay them. The transaction was refused. "Too many transactions and it was too soon to renew" the error message read."

Bandwidth package lost, customer service won't help.

I had a nice fixed bandwidth package that would have lasted me for years. Because I accidentally signed up for a trial account, my bandwidth package was removed from my account (they admitted that this is a bug in their website) They refuse to reinstate my bandwidth package, saying that it is impossible (with all their expertise, I find that hard to believe). The fact is that they don't want to, they would rather I sign up for a high monthly fee.
