CyberGhost VPN will display a VPN connection established message once the connection is successful.

Note: You can always type in "cyberghostvpn" in the Terminal and press Enter to see the list of available commands.

Select a City

To see a list of available locations of a specific country, type:

sudo cyberghostvpn --traffic --country-code (country code)

For example, to see a list of cities in the US, type:

sudo cyberghostvpn --traffic --country-code US

To connect to a specific city, like New York, type:

sudo cyberghostvpn --traffic --country-code US --city "New York" --connect

To confirm that you're successfully connected to the VPN you can type in cyberghostvpn --status or you can visit a site such as https://www.iplocation.net/ to check your IP address. Make sure you wait a few seconds after connecting to the VPN server. It's also advisable to check your IP using incognito mode, as some sites often rely on cookies which can store details about your location.
