ExpressVPN

CyberGhost VPN

Overview

ExpressVPN is a virtual private network software that helps small businesses and individuals access censored or blocked websites, videos, and applications via an AES-256 encrypted server. The VPN split tunneling functionality enables users to route limited and specific device traffic through VPN.

CyberGhost VPN is designed to help organizations streamline anonymous browsing and data encryption operations via a unified platform. The application enables users to hide their IP addresses, securely access public Wi-Fis, process online transactions, and reroute the traffic through an encrypted VPN tunnel.

Pros

“Connection speeds are solid enough that I do not notice much of a slowdown even when I am running multiple tabs or tools at once.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“What I use it for is mostly side project work and keeping things a little more private when I am handling dealership business on the go, it has done the job well.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“I would just go in knowing you are paying a bit of a premium for that simplicity.”

Daniel S.

Manager

Pros

“Task-Optimized Server Profiles: Instead of making you guess which server location is best for what you're doing, CyberGhost breaks down its network into specialized tabs for Streaming, Gaming, and Torrenting. If you want to watch Netflix US or BBC iPlayer, you just click the dedicated profile rather than testing trial-and-error locations.”

Christopher V.

Human Relations

“Platform-Restricted Split Tunneling: If you rely on split tunneling (routing specific applications outside the VPN tunnel while keeping the rest protected), CyberGhost limits native app-level split tunneling primarily to Android.”

Christopher V.

Human Relations

“Large connect buttons, clean navigation sidebars, and customizable "Smart Rules" (like auto-connecting on public Wi-Fi) make it easy to use right out of the box.”

Christopher V.

Human Relations

Cons

“There have also been a few times where a specific server location was slower than expected, so you sometimes have to bounce between a couple servers before finding one that runs smooth.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“While there isn't a free version or trial available, this VPN is slightly pricier compared to others.”

Aleksandra P.

Data and research lead

“The price is honestly the biggest downside.”

Daniel S.

Manager

Cons

“This makes it less effective at bypassing deep-packet inspection in highly restrictive jurisdictions like China, Russia, or strict corporate/university networks.”

Christopher V.

Human Relations

“The fact that a dedicated ip cost extra and that it isn’t very good at bypassing deep packet inspection”

Jacob H.

Owner

“I'm trying for the past 10 mins or longer to open the Mac app to connect to it, still wouldn't open.”
