CyberGhost (with its top-secret hidden discount page) calls itself a "truly complete VPN solution". I put the service to the test and examined CyberGhost and the rumors surrounding it.
I'm based in Australia, so my local internet is both slower and subject to more censorship than countries like the US. I've tested lots of services to find a VPN that will give me unrestricted internet access without

Very complete solution
I used the service several years ago and now I'm very please to find out it has improved a lot. Now they have servers for streaming services such as Netflix, HBO Go, etc. and they work like a charm! They also added more locations.

Worst VPN I have ever used
The Kill-switch is not working!! I have disconnected from their VPN server and the kill switch did not work!
I am 100% sure about it, because I used my online working software,and when the VPN server disconnected, the software re-connected with my real ISP and IP address.
I wrote the support, and they were completely incompetent, unprofessional.
They explained to me how kill switch works, and they "believe" I am wrong and they don't care what I said.
This kill switch bug makes CíberGhost unsecure and useless! Be careful, I don't recommend it

PrivateVPN is a growing provider that claims to be a great VPN for security and privacy, as the name implies.
Instead of offering a long list of unique features, this VPN sells itself as a simple but high-performing service.
We put PrivateVPN through a series of tests to find out how it performs in each category and whether it will truly keep you safe and private.

Never used a VPN before so was looking for one that would be easy to use, reliable connections. And good value for money
Raised a query with Privatevpn and received quick reply. Problem solved. Great service. Recently purchased Privatevpn, very easy to set-up and use. Early days but so far no problems with connecting. Very good value for money.

False Guanrate
My OS is too old for the VPN, found that out AFTER I PAID, downloaded and tried to install. No mention beforehand of versions of OS. Have been trying for several days to get my money back but no luck. They have stopped answering my emails requesting the “30 day money back guarantee”.
AVOID THIS COMPANY. THIEVES!!!!!!
