CyberGhost Changelog

What's new in CyberGhost 7.00.46

Oct 25, 2018
  • Simple and clean design:
  • The major change (which you will instantly notice) is the fresh and simpler design, meant to make the VPN connection as self-explanatory as possible. With a simple tap, you instantly pop into a completely private and protected online world. Welcome!
  • No longer 4 separate screens depending on your online activity.
  • Now, your only concern is to remember to start your VPN protection.
  • Best location for an easier and faster protection:
  • CyberGhost automatically hooks you with the most suitable server based on your geo-location. That means a faster and more stable VPN connection. You will also be able to seamlessly switch between fast and numerous global servers as often as you please.
  • Dedicated filter for streaming:
  • Streaming is as easy as ever! Simply choose “Streaming” from the servers list. CyberGhost automatically creates a secure connection, since servers are specifically optimized for streaming purposes.
  • Favorites list:
  • Add specific servers and countries to a Favorites list! This feature remembers your preferences, so you can connect to favorite servers or locations faster than ever before.
  • Adjust your Wi-Fi protection:
  • You can create your own Wi-Fi security rules, such as decide how often you want CyberGhost to protect your Wi-Fi networks.
  • Additionally, WiFi hotposts are now split into Secure and Unsecure, to give you even more control over your protection.
  • Get control over your connection:
  • From now on, every time you have connection issues, you can inspect the problem yourself. Choose “Analyze connection issues” from the Settings menu and the app runs a test to see exact technical details.

New in CyberGhost 6.0.0.1823 (Jul 18, 2016)

  • Well, the first thing that you will notice is our refreshed, clean and sleek design. Right from the get-go, you will be invited to choose the CyberGhost service you wish to unblock. Whether you simply want to surf anonymously, unblock streaming services, protect your Internet connection (WiFi or network), torrent anonymously, unblock basic websites or choose your own VPN service, you can do so, with the simple click of a button.
  • Surf Anonymously:
  • This profile activates all protection components and starts your preferred browser in incognito mode. You are invited to manually add extra features as well, but a default selection has already been made in our new Windows VPN app, so that you can fully enjoy the perks of the free Internet without worrying too much about technicalities.
  • Unblock Streaming:
  • Whether you are on vacation, on a business trip or simply wish to unlock content that is blocked in your country, this CyberGhost service will surely do the trick. You can now watch your favorite TV series or listen to the music that you love, regardless of local restrictions. Simply select the streaming channel you wish to unlock (some examples are YouTube, Netflix and ESPN) or even add your own to the list. It’s really that easy!
  • Network / WiFi Protection:
  • Hacking WiFi networks is literally child’s play, since a 7-year old recently did this in less than 11 minutes and our professional security specialist hacked a Hotel’s WiFi network in 1 minute. With CyberGhost, protecting yourself from the dangers of unencrypted WiFi hotspots is even easier. Simply opt for this profile and you will be sure that your personal data is not recorded or intercepted. We will connect you to the nearest VPN server, as soon as your device enters an unencrypted hotspot.
  • Torrent Anonymously:
  • The dangers of torrenting are widely known. No matter how careful you are, there’s always the risk of downloading a bit more than what you had bargained for. CyberGhost takes your anonymity very seriously and, with the simple selection of this profile, you can rest assured that your online actions are not being tracked. Schedule your favorite torrent programs to start together with our new Windows VPN app and download anonymously. But never disregard the torrenting laws of a country.

New in CyberGhost 5.0.14.2 Beta (Jul 8, 2014)

  • This update mainly addresses all users who still have to run Windows XP or are having problems with their Internet Explorer installation, regardless which Windows version they use.
  • Starting with version 5.0.14 CyberGhost offers two different rendering engines: the Internet Explorer engine (by default) and the Gecko-based rendering engine (as being used by Mozilla Firefox).
  • In the past we solely used the Internet Explorer engine to display the CyberGhost GUI, like so many other programs do. Now this is going to change, due to some inherent problems on some systems.
  • The new version of CyberGhost will automatically detect, if one of these known problems exists, e. g. an antivirus product disabled JavaScript, and switch to the Gecko engine – which also will be used, if a system lacks a version of the Internet Explorer below 9.0.
  • Which engine is in use, can be checked in the down right corner of the main window. If the Internet Explorer engine is in charge, it says (IE), if the Gecko engine rules, it says (Gecko).
  • The tech interested among our users might be interested in getting to know, that the engine can also be activated inside the Windows registry, regardless which Internet Explorer version is installed. You will find the entry here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CyberGhost\ForceGecko.
  • Our recent beta comes with an activated Gecko engine by default, so we can test it more easily. However, the final version will come with the Internet Explorer engine pre-activated.
  • Since the new Gecko engine will not be needed by many users, it would simply just occupy unnecessary space in the setup file. If an engine change is needed, the Gecko engine will then be downloaded by CyberGhost. A message box will inform the user at the first program start.
