My country or ISP is blocking CyberGhost

In certain areas of the world, services such as CyberGhost are unfortunately frowned upon and access to VPN servers may be blocked.

Current countries are known to block VPN services:

• Qatar

• Oman

• Saudi Arabia

• UAE

• Iran

• China

• Turkey

• Pakistan

• Bahrain

• Iraq

• Turkmenistan

• Belarus

• North Korea

However, in some cases the VPN service itself may not be affected, but its homepage and / or a single protocol may be blocked - this indicates that you can work around this problem, provided that the application has been previously installed on the device or through the use of the native protocol, as shown below : 

1. Change your VPN protocol

If you are unable to connect to CyberGhost VPN with the Automatic protocol, we recommend that you can try the other protocols listed in the following order:

• TCP OpenVPN
• UDP Open VPN
• IKEv2

2. Switch to a manual configuration.

Sometimes, the type of blocking method used involves cutting off access to the CyberGhost login system as well, which may prevent the app from being used, in such cases, connecting directly to the CyberGhost servers by using native protocols may bypass the current restriction.
