France continues to be a major target for cyberattacks in 2026, with reports indicating that sensitive information has been exfiltrated from organizations like the CDFT (National Cybersecurity Agency of France) and the DGFiP (Directorate General for Public Finances) without users being aware. In response to these threats, CyberGhost, a provider of virtual private network (VPN) services, promotes its offerings as a way to improve online privacy, both within France and internationally. A VPN works by routing a user’s internet connection through a remote server, masking their real IP address and location. CyberGhost claims to have over 11,500 servers in 100 countries, giving users the option to manually select a server or let the service choose one automatically. Users can also save their preferred servers for easier access. CyberGhost asserts that its no-logging policy is based on Romanian law, which it argues offers stronger privacy protections than the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The company’s infrastructure is designed with security in mind, using RAM-based servers that restart frequently, ensuring that no data is stored after each reboot. Additionally, CyberGhost includes a "Kill Switch" feature that disconnects the user’s internet if the VPN connection drops, helping to prevent exposure on public networks like airports or hotels. The service allows users to protect up to seven devices at once, including computers, smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, and gaming consoles such as the Xbox One and PlayStation 5. It is compatible with a wide range of platforms, including Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS, and various smart TVs and routers. A browser extension is also available for popular web browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. CyberGhost offers a long-term subscription at a rate of less than two euros per month, with a 45-day money-back guarantee. The subscription automatically renews unless canceled, and a French-speaking customer service team is available 24/7 via chat or email. The company also includes a feature called CyberGhost Identity Guard, which alerts users if their email is found in a data breach or if a password is compromised. While the company has improved its transparency, some users find its monthly plan less appealing, with features that vary by platform and advanced options that are sometimes difficult to navigate. Additionally, CyberGhost has not provided any data in response to over 60,000 DMCA complaints and five police requests during the second quarter of 2026.
