Unable to connect on Linux ?

There are a number of factors that may be responsible for why a VPN connection could not be established. This topic covers various troubleshooting steps to help resolve connectivity issues.

After each step, check if the issue still remains.

Here is what you should try at first: 

• Restart the networking service

Debian

sudo service network-manager restart

RHEL and CentOS

systemctl restart NetworkManager

• Try connecting with WireGuard® protocol

sudo cyberghostvpn --traffic --country-code US --wireguard --connect

sudo cyberghostvpn --streaming 'Netflix US' --country-code US  --wireguard --connect

sudo cyberghostvpn --torrent --country-code US --wireguard --connect

• Try different server locations.

Due to a series of factors, one location may offer a more stable connection than others.

• Reinstall the application:

Type the following command to remove the app:

sudo cyberghostvpn --uninstall

• Remove potential safety Security or Parental controls from your router.

Certain ISPs usually equip their routers with parental/security controls enabled by default. Log in to your router, look for the "Security" tab and see if any security features or parental controls are turned on.

• Disable IPv6 support. Please find below our how-to guides:

From the Terminal

From Network Settings

• Reboot your router/modem.

1. Unplug power cables from modem and router*
2. Wait 30 seconds, plug modem in
3. Wait 30 seconds, plug router in
4. Wait 30 seconds, the network is now refreshed.
*If you have a router/modem combo, just unplug that device.

• Use the manual connection method:

If the issue remains, try connecting using the manual connection method.
