CyberGhost Streaming, Speed & Torrenting Questions, Answered

CyberGhost names Netflix directly on its unblock-streaming page alongside Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max and 40+ others. Real reviews we analyzed are mixed: many reviewers report it working well, but some describe specific platforms — HBO Max and Amazon Prime came up more than once — detecting and blocking the connection, usually resolved by switching servers.

CyberGhost doesn't publish an exact count. Its copy says streaming traffic is only allowed on “optimized” servers for guaranteed speed, but the number of servers carrying that label isn't disclosed on the pages we checked — unlike PureVPN, which lists its streaming servers per platform.

Yes on paper — CyberGhost names BBC iPlayer, UK TV, French TV, Italian TV, Swedish TV, CBC Canada, Peacock, NBC, Fox, CBS and dozens of other regional broadcasters on its unblock-streaming page, a broader named list than most competitors publish.

CyberGhost lists “P2P-Optimized Servers” on its features page, described briefly as keeping downloads secure with reliable speeds. Detail is thin, and its dedicated torrent-VPN landing page returned a 404 when we checked — the feature appears real but isn't given the same page-level visibility as streaming.

CyberGhost's privacy policy (covered on our sister site's full review) states it does not log browsing history, IP address or connection details — a policy claim that applies to all traffic, including P2P, though we'd recommend confirming current torrenting server locations directly with support.

CyberGhost advertises 10-Gbps server hardware and unlimited bandwidth, and reviewers who mention speed often describe it as fast and stable on servers near them. A recurring complaint in the reviews we analyzed is inconsistent speed and dropped connections at peak times or on specific servers — real, but not universal.

No — CyberGhost states plainly that it never imposes caps on connection or bandwidth on any plan. Reviewers didn't report throttling as a theme; the speed complaints we found were about congestion and drops, not caps.

The advertised rate is $2.19/month on the 26-month plan, billed $56.94 upfront. It then autorenews at roughly $56.94/year — about $4.75/month, over double the headline rate. Monthly ($12.99) and 6-month ($6.99/mo) plans are also available.

7 simultaneous devices per subscription — fewer than NordVPN or PureVPN's 10, and well short of Surfshark or Windscribe's unlimited-device plans, worth weighing if a whole household streams at once.
