Unlike some VPNs, the service's privacy policy does a good job of backing this up, with some very specific statements: "When using the CyberGhost VPN, we have no idea about your traffic data such as browsing history, traffic destination, data content, and search preferences. Like many VPNs, CyberGhost's website proudly boasts of a 'strict no logs policy' on its front page. Whatever deal you choose, you're able to pay by Bitcoin, as well as PayPal, credit card, Google Pay and Amazon Pay (beware, though, your options might vary depending on location).ĬyberGhost keeps no logs on its users' online activity (Image credit: CyberGhost) Logging and privacy If your security is a top priority, keep in mind that Avira, Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton and more all now have full-featured security suites with VPNs included. That's not a lot, but then it's a relatively basic suite. It's priced from $5.65 a month billed monthly, to $1.29 on the three-year plan.
Upgrading to CyberGhost Security Suite (opens in new tab) adds antivirus and a Security Updater to check for missing software patches. (That's $78 upfront for two years of CyberGhost protection, and $71.64 for five years with Ivacy.) And Ivacy's five year plan is a rock-bottom $1.19 a month. Private Internet Access gives you three years and three months protection for only $2.03 a month, with a simple antivirus included. That's good value for the longer-term plans, although there are a handful of providers with even better deals.
Prices drop to an equivalent $4.29 a month on the annual plan (opens in new tab), whereas signing up for two years (opens in new tab) cuts the cost to $3.25 a month, and the three-year plan (opens in new tab) is $2.29 a month for the first term (three years plus three months), and $2.48 on renewal.
