How Fast Are CyberGhost VPN’s Servers ?

VPN server speed depends on several factors, including your base internet connection, the server you connect to, and overall network conditions. While CyberGhost is designed to minimize speed loss, no VPN can increase the maximum speed provided by your internet service provider.

The main factors that can affect VPN performance include:

• Your internet connection: Your VPN speed can’t exceed the speed of your underlying internet connection.
• Distance to the VPN server: In general, servers closer to your physical location provide lower latency and faster response times.
• Server load: Busy servers may experience reduced performance compared to less crowded servers.
• Network infrastructure: Routing, internet exchange points, and network congestion between you and the VPN server can all affect connection speeds.
• Device and network configuration: Hardware limitations, Wi-Fi signal quality, and local network conditions may also impact performance.

For the best results, CyberGhost VPN automatically connects you to the “Best location” server, which is selected based on factors such as distance, server load, and network conditions. You can also manually choose a location or use CyberGhost's specialized server categories, including servers designed to deliver fast, reliable performance for activities like streaming and downloading.

To compare performance, run a speed test both with and without the VPN connected using the same testing service.
