  • Quick and easy to set up.
    Heres a speedtest:

    http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3775532319

    • Well it works by the speed test…

      • Yeah, i'm certainly not in the Netherlands..

  • How come it's taking ages to connect?

  • Thanks OP. I got my key.

  • The internet is certainly slower…I wonder if you're able to go VPN at unis and they still won't detect us despite using our IDs to sign in

  • hmm..sorry if I missed this in the description box. but what exactly does this VPN do?

    • -6

      If you do not need a VPN (or for that matter, do not know what it is), why (steal) someone else's opportunity to capitalise on it?

      • im merely asking what its for. I haven't signed up for it

        • +2

          If you download shit and dont want to get caught….

        • +2

          It's for networking privately in a virtual manner.

        • +1

          and stops your wife catching you looking at porn websites. eg. you see boobs but in their eyes it displays a drill on a Bunnings website

      • -7

        Yeah of course my comment accumulates negs; free loaders who do not even require the use of the keys love to exploit every opportunity they can get at the expense of others who actually require it, pathetic community.

        • +3

          Danny. Welcome to the pathetic community. You're officially the self proclaimed leader :)

        • +2

          Wait you "require" it???
          Then what are you doing here "freeloading" it in this "pathetic", community?

          Go pay for it.

        • +1

          I negged danny's comment, but is there some way to neg him?! feeling unsatisfied :)

        • wait what? says the person with 0 posts on his account?

          and you gotta lighten up buddy. the keys all expires on the same date. it is useless to someone who hordes it.

          if you are pissed with someone brodening a decent deal/freebie, that's justified.. i just don't see how the rant works in this case…. wrong tree much?

    • +3

      It's basically connecting to the VPN's computer where all internet traffic goes through them before coming to you.
      Some uses are:

      • the connection between you and that computer is encrypted so no one outside can eavesdrop on what you're looking at. Some people use this fact to download things anonymously. The VPN could still be keeping logs of your traffic but those that don't normally advertise as such.

      • Since VPN's normally offer connections from various geographical regions, people sometimes use VPN's for viewing content like Netflix which are only available to restricted regions.

      • some companies offer VPN to their employees so when outside the corporate network (eg. at home), they can still access services within, as if they were physically at a work computer.

      • since there's a computer between you and the internet, other's use VPNs to remain anonymous on the internet, albeit filtered through the VPN.

      Basically its in preparation for the upcoming Walking Dead and Game of Thrones Seasons..

  • 9,432 to go

  • Thanks TA. Got the Key fairly easily. I do notice I need to restart my PC before it allows me to install CyberGhost. Otherwise it's a breeze getting it up & going. Thanks again for informing us on such a great deal!

  • Its does slow down your internet quite a bit…..

  • Please excuse a stupid question, but what is this service good for? I doubt it can replace my getflix subscription because of the 3 hour limitation (I've been known to watch a couple of movies or binge on a drama series).
    What do people actually use this for?

    • the 3hr limitations only for the free service this key is for the "special edition" for 1 yr which would cost $50 normally
      Also the free trials been changed to 5hrs

      • Awesome, thanks!

  • Thanks tigharse! Mine's up and running.

  • can anyone help please, sorry newbie to VPN, tried to install in old XP computer for downloading junk online (I keep work and fun separate) but keep getting network driver error and TAP-windows Adaptor V9 installation failed??? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    • +1

      Regrettably it will not work with win xp

      • Thanks for the kind advice. Guess I will have to install in my win8 machine then.

  • somehow i cannot register my email
    i click it but it does not go through

  • Cheers TA, but found it definitely slows our internet quite a bit.

    Before VPN on: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3775672670.png

    After VPN on: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3775667469.png

    So I'm not quite sure if this is the norm of VPN's having never used one before.

    • +1

      this is the norm as
      speedtest 1 your pc>speedtest pc
      speedtest 2 your pc>vpn pc>speedtest pc

      • Ah, fair enough.

    • Choose a LA VPN node not NL too far and at times slower…

  • Thanks OP, got one easy set up

  • So anyone tried netflix with this? Is the speed acceptable?

    • Definitely not. This service is only suitable for net browsing, you won't get a reliably consistent stream on the servers which are provided. You should be using a DNS service for Netflix.

    • +1

      Probably wont hurt to try it on your own first. If you havent registeredwith netflix before you can get free 1 month subscription. I did that just now and so far no lag at all (standard definition - cyberghost LA server)

      • How is HD?

        • HD requires different plan & also requires at least 5mbps bandwidth. Speedtest result for this vpn is only 5mbps and sometimes lower so I dont think it will be lag free.

    • +1

      Just tried netflix and it works great - no connection drops or video buffering or any of that stuff. My normal Internet speed is pretty bad too - I get around 4 Mbps WITHOUT the VPN.

  • Thanks OP. Got it running.

  • Thanks OP

    5,533 keys remaining !

  • Thanks, tightarse!

  • Does it stack?

  • +1

    Painfully slow.
    566ms ping from NY server 0.5Mbps download vs another VPN in Los Angeles with 162ms ping and 28Mbps download.

    • Its really slow BUT its free….

  • Has anyone tried to watch BBC iPlayer using this?

  • Thanks TA!!!

  • 2240

  • got one license registered.
    hard to copy and paste the details.

  • what is a cyber ghost?

  • Schade, aber es sind keine Schlüssel mehr verfügbar!

    • ya wee wee

  • Worked for me just now….didn't notice anywhere on the screen where it mentioned how many keys were left though.

  • Well, after several tries it finally worked for me, at 7:00 p.m., and I got my activation key in an email. I clicked the link in there, and a screen opened, but I don't know how to proceed from there. It says "Start Cyberghost" and shows you a screen where you can click on "Activate Key"… but, in spite of the video instructions, I am still lost! Can anyone explain how to do this as you might explain it to a five-year-old (actually, I am just on fifteen times that, but I am practically a computer illiterate!) Thanks!

    • You need to dowload and run the software.

      • Okay, Rod71; so, how do I start the downloading and running? I expected this to happen when I presse the button marked "Activate Key"… but there is no screen (which I can find) on the site which HAS this button… I only know of its existence through the TV tutorial provided when you click on the hotlink they send you in their email! Thanks, by the way, for such a speedy response!

        • Download:
          Go to this page & find that Free Download green button.
          https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_us

          After install:
          Click Activate button, enter your key, click OK, on next window click Next. Then it will give you username, password & PUK. Write them somewhere. Click OK and done!

        • @KuroNeko: Many thanks, KuroNeko, everything seemed to work fine! It sounds easy when you write it down like that, but it was a real learning curve for a no-nothing like me!

  • All gone.

  • Don't be too sure. Twenty minutes before I finally got my activation key, I got a message (in German) next to the grey box (for your email address) which said something like "Sorry, there are no keys left"… but I had had so many strange error messages trying to access the site in the first place that I decided to keep on trying. For a few minutes there was no grey box at all; then suddenly one was there; and this time it worked for me. That was only a few minutes before Cheap Skate posted his message… so it's possible that what he saw was another random error message… or it's possible that I got a worthless activation key, too, I suppose!

  • How many people signed up for a free key with NO intention of using the VPN?

    • Pretty much everyone. why they gave out 20,000 keys

  • Did I have to do something after verifying my email because it looks like I have no account and no key even though I followed the link in the email.
    I got a half blank page when following the link, looks like I missed out due to their webpage not working properly….

    • check your junkmail. you need to get a key via email once you've pressed the email confirmation link

  • I have all my details set up but, I can't connect VPN. Anyone else having this issue?

    • +1

      I haven't tried yet, but, since Kuro Neko was so helpful to me, I'd like to help someone in return. So here's what it says in the trouble-shooting section of the cyberghost website:

      1. If CyberGhost isn't able to establish a VPN connection, please first check, if the problem persists after you have chosen a different country or server. If the problem only appears for a single server or country, there might be a temporary problem with that location.

      2. If the problem exists for all locations and servers, please check if your Firewall or antivirus software is blocking CyberGhost. To make sure, the Firewall or antivirus software is NOT the reason for the problem, we suggest to temporary uninstall both. If the problem is solved, contact the software provider of your Firewall or antivirus software to get further support.

      3. In some countries, the ISP (Internet Service Provider) might block our service for unknown reasons. You must be able to reach our servers through UDP port 9081.

      4. If the problem persists, you can send us additional debug information. How to create such kind of "debug log" is described in video (hot link).

      Does any of that make any sense?

      • I eventually got to set it up. I didn't realize that the password for the VPN is different to the account password. You find it in the account details.
        Its nice to set it up manually without using their software.

  • block netherlands now……..
    very limited choice for the free account

  • Any chance anyone not using theirs? I didnt activate mine in time. can PM me.

  • Anyone get there activation revoked? :(

    Not gonna bother if they take it away from me.
