  • Thank you

  • Thanks. Got it

  • Got it thx

  • Thanks TA. :)

  • Ta, TA. I've just installed and created my first VPN account so I hope this will be a good one; even an OK one. :)

    Edit: So this is a free version and not a premium, is it? I mean, if you want the Ad-Blocker, Malware Protection and extra speed etc then you have to upgrade, right?

    • -1

      Well the free one was always free, just download and run like it is for me right now. Nothing special! So I am trying to understand what is this deal doing that is not on the free one?

      • +1

        Since it's my first time to ever install a VPN I am not sure if this was supposed to be a full package on a limited giveaway kinda deal or just the free, basic version that almost all software has. Hope TA (or anyone who's familiar with this VPN) would reply with a 411.

      • +2

        This allows you to log straight into the servers. The free one puts you in a queue and is slower. The difference between the various packages is on the website.

        • No it is still doing a countdown timer before connecting!

        • @some_one_some_where: Then you are doing it wrong.

        • @robbiejuve: Humm, what do you think have I got wrong?

        • @some_one_some_where:

          It happened to me too, the site is a little rubbish especially when setting up your account first time. It wasn't registering my key initially and this is when it was putting me in a Q but that sorted itself out and now when I log in, no Q.

      If you scroll down on the same page where you request the activation key, you'll see the features of this "offer":

      • Thanks, robbiejuve & Kentb0.

      • But I need Canada… :-(

        • I also wanted non-premium Canadian, UK or US IP addresses but either they're all premium ones (you have to upgrade/buy a subscription) or are banned on whatever server you're on at that specific time. You have way too many free-to-connect European IP addresses but nothing from the US (though I got connected to some US IP addresses but still I couldn't watch videos on blocked US YouTube channels when I was supposed to be connected to a US server), UK, Canada or Australia, apart from the premium/banned ones. I call this bull-crap! Well, it's a freebie so it might come handy for some other purpose in the future.

          Edit: For some reason, after I have been connected to the same US IP address on which I couldn't access a banned US channel, now it's working fine. Cool but crazy!

    • The big difference for me is that this version won't disconnect automatically every few hours.

      • It is for me!

        • Huh? Are you saying it still disconnects and gives you the "Time to take a break"-Screen, are you sure it's activated properly then? On the upper right of the interface you should have a setting symbol, next to your username. Clicking on it should give you 3 tabs, the 3rd tab is "My Account" and should tell you that you're on the "Chip Adventskalender 2015" plan if everything goes right.

  • +1

    Have been using CyberGhost for some time now and it's been great to use. Highly recommended.

  • I just provided my emails and didn't receive my keys yet :/

    Welp i have PIA anyway.

    • you should get an email with an activation link, that link has your activation key.
      Maybe try again (my email was alomst instantaneous)

      • checked both my emails and junk folder today not there.

    • +1

      Mine was in the spam folder

  • It is still giving the message to wait for connection as all free servers are taken up? What have I missed here?

    • Nothing, welcome to another type of spam. But at least you get something from it, so maybe SPAM is a bit harsh.

      • Well it id going to be in Dutch or German so it will not make any difference. My disappointment is that it is looking like the normal free version that gives you a countdown timer.

  • Thank you very much! Was looking for a new VPN and here it is.

    ~ Cheers!

  • +1

    Last time I tried cyberghost it was a pretty poor experience, connecting to servers was a finnicky experience that worked about 20% of the time. Lets see if its any better now….

    • +2

      Must be a problem your end
      I have been using it daily for 3 years and never an issue.

      • Purevpn works fine with no problems, so idk

  • +1

    got the confirmation email and asked me to continue to the activation, and they said that I've already joined one of their campaigns for the last 12 months, but why? I didn't and haven't register in any of their campaign before, tried with different email address and got the same result :(

    • +2

      I got the same thing. Used a different email address and set my browser to private mode and it worked.

  • +1

    Thanks for posting, good timing too as I have developed a serious Kodi addiction recently.

    For people not receiving the email, check your spam, that's where my email was.

    The activation process and the website is pretty rubbish. Took me quite some time to get logged in and get my key through. Just stick with it.

    Tested it on a few things and quite happy with it so far.

  • +3

    Only Access to servers in Germany, USA, Romania, Czech Republic and the Netherlands. No AU or UK servers which sucks for me

    • +1

      Pay some money and get the service you want.
      What do you want for nothing?

      • +3

        I do, ta…was mainly just informing people about the coverage which I didnt think was mentioned initially..cheers

  • thanks.

    really easy to get started and all features are there except extra speed which is an upgrade service.

    if this works well by the look of it i can add my tablet, linux partitions and linux box…. paid service obviously but yeh lets see how it fairs.

  • Skip that one guys, don't work so well is a slow Ad Blocking spot ads, but still some pop up ad pages starting. I can't chose manual server, I live in Europe and program set USA server!? wtf is so slow like that. So if you want to be protected search for promotion about free antivirus software they also protect from dangerous pages, get Ad-blocks(work fast and better) plus for you browser. Only good feature is keeping your private in internet.

    • +2

      something wrong with your end i can choose auto and manual and change my servers as i please….. i guess if you really want protection run linux distro and cyber ghost well with linux you avoid them nasty for microsoft malware/ adaware/ spyware crap……..

      • Thanks you for your answer, I try again and with success I change simulated server (for some reasons denied to set German servers). I just make internet speed test and result was 0,55 Mbps download speed and 5,47 Upload eh… but loading pages almost quick is not so bad.

        • maybe too many people on that server or a drastically slow speed.

    • That's not a valid reason to neg the deal.

        • +8

          …if we I can't get the deal…

        • +8

          Looks like many other ozbargain members had no issue. Seems like an issue between the keyboard and chair, that type of issue is always worthy of a neg vote.

        • @tyler.durden: How many different email addresses have you tried?

        • @tyler.durden
          "…yes it is…."

          No it isn't, it's just you so far it seems. I got the email, others got the email. Your neg was wrong and pointless. Almost certainly the problem lies at your end.

        • @tyler.durden: Did you check your Spam folder?

        • @robbiejuve:

          You'd hope so, else he'll have to neg himself. It could even be just an error typing in the email address.

        • @tyler.durden: Well, I received the email (and I am sure many others did too) so it's either you've set up your email address to not receive emails from unknown/new addresses, or the email went to your junk mail, or you've entered your email address details wrong or maybe the deal is exhausted (which I doubt). There are many possible scenarios as to why you didn't get the email, mate. Just try to figure it out calmly and you'll be fine.

          @AussieDaddy:

          yes I finally got it..

          Though it was not in my inbox

          I had to do a search in gmail to find it..

        • +6

          @tyler.durden:

          yes I finally got it..

          You mean yes you finally found it.

          @branko:

          whatever

        • +2

          @tyler.durden: So like I said in reply to your post and also in an earlier post of mine on this deal, check your spam.

          Next time you have an issue, instead of negging, read the user comments, sometimes important information is listed.

        • -7

          @robbiejuve:

          it wasn't in spam folder

          i don't even know what folder it was in..

          but i eventually found in gmail search…

          ===

          The deal was too early to have much comments..and I read them..

          Either way negging is my choice..
          if the neg is invalid then it will get revoke anyway..

        • +2

          @tyler.durden:
          New keyboards should include a breathalyzer.

  • Thanks. Still working.

    Subscribed 10mins ago. Received email and activation key immediately.

    Just finished installing it on my iPhone. Sweet.

  • Sweet, got one.
    Thanks

  • +2

    Tried it last time, it is more like “a dial up simulator” but hey it's free

    • +2

      I'm streaming wirelessly without buffering. Don't think dial up would allow that?

  • Only 52510 keys available!

    • From 77,000 keys to 52,000 keys in 7 hours since TA posted the deal? Wow! It will be exhausted before the end of the day.

      O wait! The deal says it expires at 11:00 am so 2.5 hours to go. :)

      • +1

        I am sure there are other medias to promote this offer,not limited to here.

  • Even after activating it won't let me turn on the extra features that were mentioned.
    I'm using the android App BTW.

    Any ideas?

  • Why is the webpage and the confirmation email all in German?

    • +1

      nein idea.

    • +2

      More people speak it than Romanian!?

  • Said invalid activation straight after registering? Anyone else have this?

  • +1

    What is the catch?

    • You'll find out when they come knocking on your door :D.

  • +1

    Where do you enter the personal activation key. When I clicked Activate Now, I was brought to their website to enter account details. There's no where to enter the key.

    • Same here.Anyone knows when should I activate it by?

      • Refreshed the browser couple of times. The "I already have an activation key" finally appears.

    • +2

      Ok, can't believe so many "smart" people here yet no one bother to tip a bit help.

      After you get the activation code, you need to register an account from their home page. Once you registered, you will see a page regarding your account configuration. From there you can see a link of already have an activation code, which you can click and paste your code. After that you are able to log on to the vpn client with this registered account to use the service.

      The speed is good. Thanks TA!

  • I wonder how their servers will cope with 77,000 new users?

    Edit: It seems you can only choose from a few (heavily loaded) servers with this plan. In my case it's USA, Netherlands and Germany. Not very useful.

  • +1

    mines all in german :/

    • I got one.
      Process is really simple and straightforward. No need to be in English. Just next next email link download activate.
      After the confirmation link everything is in English.

  • Got 1. Super !

  • Got my key straight away guys.

    Thanks TA. My first VPN since it free lol. Now to see if this work and hopefully my connection speed won't be effected much.

    Any one know how to set this up at the router of my ASUS RT-AC68U?

    • +1

      To set it up on your Asus router you need the open vpn files. To do this, go to your account on cyberghost, click on add a device, click other, set up the details as you want then click download file. This will create an openvpn file and a ca.crt file.
      Now login to your asus router, click on vpn, click vpn client, click add vpn and upload the openvpn file you just created. Done!

      • Thanks for the replied but when I did what you said and download the file. I go into the router and try to upload the Openvpn file but got this error

        Complete!, Lack of Client Key!, Lack of Client Certificate, Lack of Certificate Authority

        Do i upload the other 3 files as well? If i do no where i can do that.

  • Does anyone know if this will allow ad-free browsing ? when i click ad-free browsing or Prevent Tracking on my cyberghost, it asks me to upgrade to premium ver.

  • Which is the best server forusa streaming? Services? Thanks

  • Thanks TA. Can't hurt to have a free vpn.
    does this do p2p downloading?

    • Yes, on certain servers that it permits you access, you can P2P on those.

  • All spots filled 10.31 Eastern Standard Time

  • i got a key if anyone missed out, pretty rubbish, took my speed from 14 to 4.5

    • +2

      hi, may I have the key if you don't need it? Thanks:)

      • sending now

        • Send one to me please 0 Thx!!

  • +1

    I'd like it if you can spare it

  • -1

    Got one, just in time! Good back up for ibVPN which has been playing up for me lately. Client keeps crashing.

    • +2

      Actually, this looks to be faster and more stable than ibVPN for me… might switch to Cyberghost as my main!
