CyberGhost

CyberGhost is the easiest VPN to recommend for streaming specifically: platform-labelled servers, a large network, RAM-only infrastructure, Romanian jurisdiction, and the longest money-back window in the industry at 45 days. The drawbacks are commercial -- the pricing ladder has no annual option, so the cheap rate requires a 2-year prepay that renews far higher, and the 45-day guarantee quietly drops to 14 days on the monthly plan. It also shares the Kape ownership concern with ExpressVPN and PIA, and its Deloitte audit is older than the recurring annual engagements Proton, Nord and PIA now publish.

Where it is strong

Streaming. CyberGhost maintains dedicated servers labelled per platform and per region, which removes most of the trial-and-error of finding a server that a given service has not blocked.

Where it is weak

There is no 1-year plan -- you choose between an expensive month, six months, or a 2-year prepay, which is a deliberate funnel toward the long commitment. The 45-day guarantee also does not apply to the monthly plan (that gets 14 days), and CyberGhost is Kape-owned alongside ExpressVPN and PIA.

Streaming access changes weekly on both sides. Treat this as a snapshot, never a guarantee.

Every field above was taken from CyberGhost's own current documentation or an independent audit report, and left blank where neither confirmed it. A blank is not a criticism; it means we could not verify it, and we would rather show you that than fill the gap.
