Seems like a pretty good deal. No payment information needed, so you'll stay pretty safe. I've already had a CNET account so it took me about 2 mins to get this.
- eides on 01/11/2012 - 19:29 ¶
  
  I didn't have a CNET account and it still took me about 2 mins to get it. Can't really go wrong for free. :)

    On the CNET website, not in the CyberGhost software.
    
    They give you a key and you add it to your account in the software.

Hmm, what's that network adapter thing it wants me to add when I install?
- tantryl on 01/11/2012 - 20:04 ¶
  
  It's a virtual VPN adapter.
  - TheAviator1992 on 01/11/2012 - 20:05 ¶
    
    so if I uninstall the program, the adapter should uninstall too? I've used VPNs before but none said anything about an adapter

      Yes, it should uninstall.
      
      Every VPN product I've used installs a virtual adapter. Hamachi does, the Cisco client does, OpenVPN does etc. What VPN software do you think doesn't install one?

robs12 on 01/11/2012 - 20:19 ¶

Trying it. It's free so given it a + vote.
But considering it's supposedly a paid for service, it's REALLY slow. Have tried a few servers so far and getting at best 1/20th of my normal download speeds…
- easternculture on 01/11/2012 - 20:22 ¶
  
  maybe its got to do with peak/off peak times or something
  post a speed test result
  - tantryl on 01/11/2012 - 20:26 ¶
    
    Or possibly because it's just been released as free on CNET for 24 hours and everyone's testing it out.
- Ace on 01/11/2012 - 21:49 ¶
  
  People who claim during their free promo periods use different servers to their premium members. Their free promo servers are basically demo servers because they have free subscription promos a few times a year.
  
  Speeds won't get too much better than what they are now - I've been using the free prepaid subscriptions to CyberGhost for the past 2-3 years but rarely use it anymore.
- wholesaleturbos on 02/11/2012 - 08:40 ¶

The application that it directs you to download is a windows program, but in theory it should also work with Mac OS X (and Linux and Android, but I don't have either of those to test). You just have to download Tunnelblick and get the configuration files from the CyberGhost support site. I say "in theory" though because I haven't yet been able to get it to connect successfully.

Any Mac users had any luck?

  There are instructions for Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and Windows here:

  Looks like Mac uses a modified version of OpenVPN
  
  Edit: Having problems authorising to the various VPN servers, anyone else having the same problem?

    From CyberGhost website (http://cyberghostvpn.com/page/account.php?openvpn when logged in):
    To use the OpenVPN access to CyberGhost VPN you need to have a valid premium serial activated.
    Free and promotion accounts are not able to connect to CyberGhost VPN using OpenVPN.
    
    :(
    - Daniel15 on 02/11/2012 - 20:34 ¶
      
      I wonder how it tells the difference between the Windows and the Mac/Linux OpenVPN clients. As far as I can tell, the Windows app is just OpenVPN with their custom UI in front of it.

  Use the internet without everything you do tracking back to your IP address.

  hatts on 01/11/2012 - 21:30 ¶
  
  VPN is Virtual Private Network and it only relates to where the traffic goes (or how it is routed)
  
  Normally [you] ——> [website/whatever]
  VPN [you] ——> [VPN Provider] ——> [website/whatever]
  
  This way it looks like the VPN provider is accessing whatever you are doing on the net and it is their IP that gets logged etc

  hatts on 01/11/2012 - 21:33 ¶
  
  they would tell you yes, but personally I wouldn't, especially a company unknown to me and at this price tag, by using a VPN they could see all your data (and some would argue but so does your ISP without a VPN)
  
  edit: of course banking sites etc would be encrypted and through normal use I don't think they could steal your details/money but in the age of weak/bogus security certificates it doesn't hurt to be paranoid.

  See if your router supports VPNs - If so, you may be able to use its VPN functionality to connect your whole network to the VPN. Then you should be able to route your WDTV via the VPN.

  reply to myself - I ended up finding the answer, haven't tried it though: "Any OpenVPN client should work in Linux with Cyberghost. You need to have a paid subscription in order to use the "native" OpenVPN Support. Log into the account management center and you'll find a section "OpenVPN" where you can download instructions and configuration files for LInux/android etc."
