The Internet offers many things, but privacy is not among them. Your IP makes your computer traceable by anyone. Even if you are not doing anything illegal and the CIA is not interested in you, there are still hackers out there who would love to have your IP address and use it for less than honorable reasons. To counteract this issue, you should connect to the Internet through proxy servers, which will hide your real IP. Although it sounds like something complicated, there are many programs available which will do this for you. Although CyberGhost VPN is a bit complex, compared to other similar software, it offers better protection when you need to browse the web anonymously.

Downloading and installing the software is a swift process, but you will be slowed down because an online account will be needed. After submitting your sign up information, you will have to make some additional settings in order to connect CyberGhost VPN to the online account. It may take more than one try, but the effort is worth it.

When launching CyberGhost VPN, you will have to log in, using the same information from the online account. After doing so, you will have access to the main interface. The program's features are organized in different sections on the interface and you can switch between them with the navigation tabs, on the left side.

Your identity can be hidden if you connect to a VPN server. While connected, you will be logged on web sites with the server's IP address instead of your own. To connect to a VPN, you only need to click a large button, in the first section of the interface. It will take 10 to 15 seconds to connect, but your real IP address will be secure.

Each time you do this, you will be connected to a random server, but you can choose a specific one from a list, in a different section. The list can be filtered with the aid of a drop menu in order to show the recommended, fastest or the most anonymous servers available. Details like speed or anonymity will be displayed next to each entry in the list and you can connect to one of those servers by selecting one and clicking the Connect button beneath the list.

A Google powered map can be accessed on the interface. The options which come with the map will display your real location on the planet and the location of the server you are connected to. It is also possible to access a video portal with TV series, organized by their genres. With the software's Premium version, you will also have access to an online data storage service and anti-spy protection.

Pros

CyberGhost VPN is quite flexible when connecting to a VPN server. Besides connecting you automatically to a random server, the program displays a list with available servers, along with their speeds and anonymity ratings. The interface is well designed and it is very easy to understand.

Cons

Creating an online account and connecting to it will take a little longer than expected. Your privacy is assured with CyberGhost VPN. It only takes a few clicks of the mouse to hide your real IP address and substitute it with a different one.
