Why CyberGhost VPN Is the Best VPN for PC
Leave No Browsing Logs Behind
Just because your PC knows a lot about you, it doesn’t mean we should. CyberGhost VPN follows a strict No-Logs policy and we don’t track the websites you visit or your browsing history. Our RAM-only servers take things further, with data held in RAM wiped whenever the servers reboot.
Streaming, gaming, and big downloads shouldn’t feel like a waiting game. CyberGhost VPN combines fast servers, unlimited bandwidth, and lightweight protocols like WireGuard®. This helps reduce VPN overhead, so you can use your connection without extra obstacles in the way.
Keep Your Connection Moving
Pick the Right Server for the Job
From movie nights to gaming sessions, we have you covered with servers optimized for streaming, gaming, and downloading. CyberGhost VPN makes it easy to find a server that suits your needs. We group our servers by category, making it easier to find the best server for what you want to do.
Get your own CyberGhost Dedicated IP that stays the same every time you connect. Unlike shared VPN IPs, it's reserved only for you, making repeat logins to work accounts and other services less of a hassle. Our token-based system keeps your Dedicated IP separate from your VPN account for added privacy.
Keep the Same IP Every Time
Protect Your Data With a VPN for Windows
One CyberGhost VPN subscription covers up to 7 connections at the same time. You can download our VPN on Windows PCs, laptops, and tablets (versions 10 and 11) without having to sacrifice your most-used devices. We also offer manual configuration options for older Windows versions.

FAQ
A VPN for Windows PC encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a VPN server. Websites then see the VPN server’s IP address instead of your own. This adds a layer of privacy to your browsing and makes your traffic harder for other people on the network to inspect.
Free VPNs can be useful for occasional browsing, but they often limit data, speeds, features, or server locations. Privacy practices can also vary between providers. CyberGhost VPN doesn’t offer a permanent free Windows VPN. Instead, you can try the Windows VPN app free for 24 hours. Paid subscriptions include a 14- or 45-day money-back guarantee.
There isn’t one “safest” VPN for PC. A safe VPN should provide strong encryption, modern VPN protocols, a kill switch, clear logging practices, and leak protection.
CyberGhost VPN uses AES 256-bit encryption and supports WireGuard®, IKEv2, and OpenVPN on Windows. We don’t keep browsing logs and our RAM-only infrastructure wipes volatile memory on every reboot.
Yes, Windows 10 and 11 include a built-in VPN client, but you still need VPN connection details from a workplace or VPN provider.

CyberGhost VPN currently supports Windows 10 and Windows 11. The Windows app requires Windows 10 or later, and CyberGhost VPN’s current manual OpenVPN configuration requires Windows 10 or later. Windows 7 and Windows 8 are no longer supported by the current CyberGhost VPN Windows setup options.
Yes, you can install CyberGhost VPN on multiple devices, with up to 7 devices connected to the VPN at the same time.
