CyberGhost VPN Just Got Faster – We’re Upgrading to 10G Servers

Online privacy stands at the heart of our service, but we never wanted our Ghosties to compromise convenience for digital security. This is why we’re constantly updating our network to give you the best online experience.

VPN speed is one of our main concerns. We’ve always optimized our servers for fast and stable connections. Now, we’re taking matters a step further – we’re switching to 10Gbps servers which translates to better speeds for our Ghosties.

What Our 10Gbps VPN Servers Mean for You

We’re constantly improving our network, and now we’ve started to upgrade our 1Gbps servers to 10Gbps servers. Our new 10Gbps servers transfer data faster and have better coverage. With the advent of 5G technology, we’re making sure our infrastructure is ready for all your needs.

Think of it as adding more lanes to roads to make the traffic flow better. Like we’re adding more lanes to make space for an old Mini Cooper to drive at its pace, and for the latest fastest Ferrari to go wild in the fast lane. Except we’re adding lanes for you to simply surf web sites while others play online games. Because everyone has their own lane, no one suffers from speed loss. 

To put it simply, you can expect faster speeds, better performance, and stable connections. For the more nitty-gritty details, keep on reading, but first let’s start at the beginning: What is VPN speed and how do we measure it? 

VPN Speeds – Why it Matters

Just like your regular internet speed, online speed tests like Ookla or Netflix’s fast.com can test your VPN speed. The test will analyze three key metrics:

• • • • • Download speed
        • Upload speed
        • Ping

Download and upload speed are measured in megabits per second (Mbps), and they determine how fast your internet connection allows data to be sent to and from your device. The bigger the numbers, the faster your connection. 

Ping or latency is measured in milliseconds (ms) and displays the time it takes for data to leave your device, reach a web server, and come back to you. The smaller the ping, the faster your response time.

Whenever you connect to a VPN server, your speed output depends on a few factors, like:

• • • • • Server load
        • Bandwidth
        • Processing power 
        • Operating system
        • Hardware

  At CyberGhost VPN, we optimize both hardware and software to give you the best possible output. Our latest decision was to begin transitioning our fleet to 10Gbps servers.

  How 10Gbps Servers Help Make CyberGhost VPN Better

  10Gbps means 10 gigabits per second. This is equivalent to 10,000 megabits per second. 

  With 10 gigabit Ethernet, a transmission speed of 10 Gbps equates to an average transfer rate of 1,250 megabytes (MB) per second.

  To put it simply, these new servers can handle much more traffic. They have more bandwidth, which allows for faster data transfer and prevents congestion. This translates to better speeds for you. 

  Here’s how our 10Gbps servers perform.

  

  To ensure our 10Gbps servers always perform optimally, we made sure the hardware is top-notch. With 10Gbps network cards, ten core processors, and a port capacity of 80 Gbps, we’re seeing an average speed increase of 40%.

  Why We’re Shifting to 10Gbps Server

  Our lives are increasingly reliant on fast internet. The Covid-19 pandemic also pushed more and more people and services into the digital world. Streaming services are more convenient and popular than cable, and online gaming skyrocketed since 2020. 

  Social distancing also pushed people to work and study from home. Business meetings turned into Teams videoconferences, and classes became Zoom calls. The world is turning digital but that doesn’t make it safe. We designed CyberGhost VPN as a security tool to make the internet an open and safe space. But never at the cost of your online performance. 

  Upgrading from 1Gbps servers to 10Gbps servers is our way of making sure our infrastructure can handle all data-heavy challenges. No matter how many Ghosties use CyberGhost VPN to secure their traffic, our server fleet delivers not only uncrackable data protection but also fast and reliable connection.
