CyberGhost
Romania-based VPN with strong streaming optimization
Privacy posture
Our verdict
CyberGhost has the largest server count of any consumer VPN (11,500+) and Romania is a privacy-friendly jurisdiction. The streaming-optimized server lists are genuinely useful — they pre-label servers for specific Netflix regions, BBC iPlayer, etc. The 45-day money-back is the longest in the industry. The downside: the no-logs audit hasn't been refreshed since 2022, which is starting to age. Owned by Kape Technologies (also owns ExpressVPN, PIA), which some users dislike for the consolidation.
Pros
- +11,500+ servers — largest network
- +45-day money-back (industry-longest)

- +Romania jurisdiction
Cons
- −No-logs audit is from 2022 — overdue for refresh
- −Owned by Kape (large parent — same as ExpressVPN, PIA)
- −No obfuscation for restrictive networks

Methodology
Trust score weighs: jurisdiction (no-eyes preferred), independent no-logs audit recency, RAM-only servers, leak-test results, transparency reports, and parent-company ownership. We re-test every quarter.
