Linux-loving Ghosties, we have some excellent news for your: our updated CyberGhost VPN for Linux app is here!
And it now comes with WireGuard® capabilities. 😉
Hello, WireGuard®!
This is a fairly new VPN protocol, still labeled as a work in progress. It aims to marry the security of the OpenVPN protocol with the speed of (the now easier to block) IPsec.
When it comes to encryption, WireGuard® is all about the strictest security standards. It also comes with some extra benefits like faster speeds, more user-friendliness, and less power usage.
The beginning of a beautiful friendship
Here at CyberGhost VPN, we’ve been paying close attention to the development of WireGuard®. And we must confess, we’ve been impressed with the protocol’s performance.
So, we’ve decided to integrate it and get involved.
Our team will be performing code reviews and adding to the functionalities in the near future.
All because we want to give you the best possible VPN protection, no matter your device or OS of choice.
What else is new in the app
You can now find five additional distros and distro versions in our CyberGhost VPN for Linux app:
-
-
- Fedora 31
- Mint 19
- CentOS 7
- Kali
- PoP!_OS
-
Using something else?
Leave a comment below and let us know. We’ll plan our development accordingly. 😉
Update your app
To get the latest version of our Linux app, head to My account.
From there, configure a new device and select the app version that corresponds to your Linux distribution.
Then run the ‘install.sh’ installer and that’s it. 🙂
Until next time, stay safe and secure!

HI
As a new customer I tried to setup my Linux Mint 21 PC as a first machine.
Trying to download the app (even though it’s for v 20) ends up in displaying
a xml structure starting with ‘AccessDenied’
When is a working version expected ?
thx

The linux application is a bash command… Is it so difficult to make it works on the latest Ubuntu 22.04??? in one year, LTS 24.04 ???
I pay Cyberghost since 7 years. I can’t use it on my main Ubuntu laptop!!! Don’t know why ?
Ghostie

We’re sorry to hear you’re not satisfied with our service, Seb. Rest assured we’re working on improving CyberGhost VPN compatibility across multiple platforms.

Another one in the waiting list… CyberGhost in Ubuntu 22.04 ?
Any workaround or possible beta available ahead of the official app?
Thanks!
Ghostie
Posted on 09/02/2023 at 10:25
Hi A. Thank you for your feedback. At the moment, we can not guarantee a custom configuration that will reliably protect your Ubuntu device. However, you can try setting up CyberGhost VPN on your router which will protect all devices in your household.

I’m using Linux Mint 20.3. Like many of you, I wasn’t able to get the binary installer to work. However, I followed Adina Ailoaiei’s advice and followed the instructions on this page: https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/213651505-How-to-Set-Up-OpenVPN-on-Linux-Mint-via-Network-Manager
The directions worked perfectly for me. I’m connected (and I can’t believe it!).

If CG cant provide services for what they say, why can we not request a refund, and get our money back?

Hello,
I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 lately and I was suprised and very disappointed that CyberGhost was not compatible. I paid my subscription but can’t use it. Any update on a release date ? It’s very frustrating.
Ghostie
Posted on 04/01/2023 at 15:59
We’re sorry to hear that, Julien. Unfortunately, at this time, we can’t provide an exact time frame as to when CyberGhost VPN will be available for Ubuntu 22.04.

I too have been using Cyberghost since 2019 but LMDE 5 and Debian buster no longer work, I will be forced to switch to another VPN service despite having paid until 2025.
Every time I read that the “team” is working on it, or terms like in the future, wonderful promises but that doesn’t buy us anything….
I hope I can stay with you guys but fear not.

Guyz, it’s october.
We NEED to have cyberghost VPN compatible for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as it’s a sofware I paid for.
Since Ubuntu is most probably the most used OS in the world, as a customer I’m asking how many more months you need to release it.
Are you planning on doing that?
Ghostie
Posted on 18/10/2022 at 11:12
Hi Ghostie. We plan to update our Linux CLI app to include more distribution in the future but we currently don’t have an exact time frame as to when it will be available. Thank you for your understanding.
Rick
Posted on 14/10/2022 at 18:40
I have a PC with Windows OS and a laptop with Linux.
Can I install Cyberghost VPN on both machine with only one subscription?
Ghostie
Posted on 18/10/2022 at 11:13
Hi Rick. You can use a single CyberGhost VPN subscription on up to 7 devices at the same time.

I’ve been using your services since 2018 between android and windows. I just switched over to Fedora Linux and would like to request a software update regarding fedora 36/37. CyberGhost has been very good to me over the years and I would hate to jump ship.
Ghostie
Posted on 12/10/2022 at 10:04
Hi Ghostie. We’re happy to hear you’ve enjoyed CyberGhost VPN. Our team is currently working to extend support for more Linux distros. Stay tuned for future updates!
Sema
Posted on 26/09/2022 at 16:46
Still no news about ubuntu 22.04 version? This is very frustrating. The least you could you do is to provide subscribes with some kind of timeframe. How long should we wait? I think this is a fair question.
Ghostie
Posted on 27/09/2022 at 11:01
Hi Sema. Sorry to hear you’re not satisfied with our service. Unfortunately, at the moment we don’t have an available time frame. Thank you for your understanding.

Wouldn’t it make more sense if they kept the Linux version up to date? Most of the distributions are built with security in mind, compared to Windows.

Going to have to move to another VPN
I have had Cyberghostvpn for 2 years now,
i primarily use Linux and the linux cyberghostvpn app lags so behind distro releases that by the time
the app is updated, 2 or 3 distro versions have already come out.
I along with many of the other linux users dont want to either be forced to use a distro 3 iterations old
or forced to just not have access to cybervpn while using our current distro
its quite ridiculous really.
Ghostie
Posted on 25/07/2022 at 15:35
Hi, Danny
Sorry to hear you’re not satisfied with out service. Rest assured, we’ve forwarded your feedback to our dev team, and they’re currently looking into a better distro support.
Stay safe,

hello,
I don’t understand cyberghost’s roadmap, they don’t anticipate the release of ubuntu versions. Since April, it seems to me that you could have supported version 22.04!

Hi Jarno. Rest assured that our dev team is working on many projects to improve our service, and bring you the best anonymity and security tools for all operating systems. We’ll update our posts to reflect our newest releases. Stay tuned for updates!

Hi Adina,
I would like to know how you implemented Wireguard protocol ?
Because I’ve learned that it give a static IP adress, so it keep our real IP adress somewhere. In other words, the no-log policy could not work anymore.
Thank you for your reply.

Hi, John! 👋
We use a customized version of WireGuard®, with our own daemon on top of the protocol generating random IPs.
In bringing WireGuard® in line with other protocols, we were inspired by the behavior of OpenVPN and IPsec on Linux.
To learn more about how we protect the privacy of our Ghosties, here are some resources:

Does the WireGaurd have an Option forSmartphones of the Apple iPhones? In the near future… I am hearing Great things about this new improved VPN,..!
Also what about Nokia Android smartphones or smartphones that are less popular., but are of the same usefulness with less functionalities than the Other “Smartphones” I am most Interested in the quality and real ness also what are the qualities that make CYBER GHOST Better than the others we’ve ALL learned of.
Tone honest I Only was able to try the 7 Day FREE TRIAL ! I

Yes, it’s possible. The procedure for connecting to a selected server is rather simple. I’ve been able to recover the inner operations of this CLI tool while troubleshooting it.

Hey dmytro,
that sounds great.
Would you care to share your findings?
