Our Review:

CyberGhost VPN is another commercial VPN provider that offers a free as well as a paid service. The free service based in Romania is notable in that it has no fixed data allowance limit and no deliberate throttling of download speed.

That sounds great but the reality is not quite so rosy. CyberGhost limits the free service to servers in 15 countries as opposed to 31 for the paid service. The countries where there are no free servers include Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Furthermore at busy times users may have to queue to get access to the free servers and are disconnected after three hours or when they exceed certain data transfer limits. Once disconnected you will need to queue for a server again.

Those inconveniences aside this is an excellent choice for those who don't want to be limited by the tiny monthly data allowances imposed by most free VPN services and can live with the inconvenience of being disconnected every three hours.
