Use Privacy Settings with CyberGhost VPN on Windows

This article will show you how you can use Privacy Settings on Windows.

Privacy settings include additional connection features on CyberGhost VPN for Windows. They help customize your CyberGhost VPN experience.

Here's how you can activate a feature.

1. Expand the main page.
2. Select the VPN dashboard.
3. Select Privacy settings.
4. Click on the respective button of the feature you want to activate.

Here are the features you can select:

• Block content: Block content is a feature developed by CyberGhost to help protect the privacy and security of our customers. The content blocking function returns the IP addresses of unwanted domain names as an address that cannot be routed over the public Internet.
• Prevent DNS leaks: Activated, this option forces your system to use the CyberGhost Domain Name Server (DNS) instead of those of your Internet provider. (A DNS takes care of the correct access to an address. For example, if you enter 'www.cyberghostvpn.com' in your browser, he sends your wish to a DNS, which translates the address into numbers. Only then the connection can be established. This also means that a DNS has complete control over the accessibility of each web address and therefore is the perfect tool for censors. When using the CyberGhost DNS servers you avoid this kind of manipulation).
• Automatic Kill-Switch: The kill-switch is a feature that will automatically disconnect you from the internet if the VPN connection drops unexpectedly. This prevents your private data from being leaked.
