Can I Use a VPN to Unblock ARD Outside Germany?
Some VPN users connect to a server in Germany to watch ARD from outside the country, but this is against our terms of service and is not acceptable.
CyberGhost is a privacy-forward No Logs VPN, meaning we can't view your online activity and we never share your browsing data. While we don't know what you're doing online, you should always comply with ARD's terms of use, our terms of service, and any applicable law, including copyright.
Why You Need a VPN for ARD Mediathek
ARD is only available in Germany, but you don’t have to miss out on the latest sports, news updates, or movies if you’re traveling abroad.
CyberGhost VPN has plenty of servers in Germany, including streaming-optimized servers for ARD. We test these servers every day to make sure you can always get fast, secure access to ARD content.
Is ARD blocked on your school or office network? CyberGhost VPN encrypts your internet traffic so you can bypass firewalls and unblock ARD Mediathek. We’ll help you keep up with ARD wherever you go.

Stream ARD in UHD
CyberGhost VPN has unlimited bandwidth, so you can binge an entire series without lag. All high-traffic locations have 10-Gbps servers.
We offer the fastest VPN protocols, including WireGuard® and IKEv2. The CyberGhost VPN app selects the best protocol for your device, but you can change the settings to customize your connection.
Enjoy all your favorite ARD content in UHD without buffering!
Do you experience slowdowns or drops in video quality during the evenings or at weekends? Some ISPs throttle your traffic to conserve bandwidth.
Don’t let your ISP stand between you and your Lauchhammer marathon. Use CyberGhost VPN to encrypt your traffic. VPN encryption prevents your ISP from seeing you’re streaming ARD, so it won’t slow your connection.
Take CyberGhost VPN for a test drive risk-free with the 45-day money-back guarantee.
Escape ISP Throttling
Enjoy ARD on Public Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi is convenient but risky. Due to the lack of a password, anyone can hijack the connection and intercept your device’s traffic.
CyberGhost VPN keeps snoops and bad actors away from your data, so you can live stream ARD without worrying about your privacy. We use 256-bit AES encryption and a built-in Kill Switch to protect your data at all times.
As an extra measure, set up the Wi-Fi protection feature to automatically launch CyberGhost VPN when you’re about to join an unsecured network.
It’s getting harder to protect your online privacy. ISPs and websites track your activity and some companies even sell your data. Most countries even have data retention laws, which force ISPs to store your activity logs.
That’s why CyberGhost VPN is headquartered in Romania, where there are no data retention requirements. Our dedication to your privacy is upheld by our strict No Logs policy.
We don’t track or collect any of your usage logs. Our RAM-based servers are routinely wiped so nothing remains.

FAQ
No. In fact, you’re unlikely to find a free (and safe) VPN with fast servers in Germany.
Free VPNs are typically slow and have limited bandwidth, which results in significant buffering and lag. Worse, free VPNs often sell usage logs. If you’re not paying with your private data, then you’ll have to deal with annoying in-app advertising.
