These Countries Have Outlawed Social Media

According to Datareportal, more than half the world’s population now uses social media. That’s about 4.62 billion people or 58.4%, and this number is growing every day. Social media’s immense popularity makes sense. Through services like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok, we’re able to keep up with old friends, make new like-minded connections, and see what’s going on in the world.

Social media has become so ingrained in our daily lives that we take it for granted. We’re free to access so much open information and communicate so broadly. To oppressive governments, though, these aspects are exactly what make social media dangerous.

People in free nations often can’t wrap their minds around the fact that social media bans are a common occurrence. Many governments worldwide strictly monitor and censor their citizens’ media and internet access.

What countries block social media and how do they manage it? Let’s explore how authoritarian nations in the world handle different social media platforms today.

Social Media’s Role in Society Today

The average person spends around 2 hours on social media every day. Imagine for a moment if your socials were suddenly taken away. It wouldn’t just affect your entertainment options. It would strip away your right to free speech and your ability to communicate in chaotic times. On a national scale, that could isolate an entire population and threaten their lives.

That’s precisely what some governments worldwide are looking to do, which is why they ban social media services within their borders.

Social media platforms provide entertainment, but they’re also an important tool for free speech and sharing information. On the other hand, social media also comes with a few downsides. Let’s quickly break down the pros and cons of social media:

Pros of Social Media	Cons of Social Media
👍 Opens communication channels across the world.	👎 Causes procrastination.
👍 Increases visibility of important news from multiple sources (not just government-controlled sources).	👎 Can be addictive.
👍 Brings prominence to urgent social causes.	👎 Can exacerbate mental health issues.
👍 Creates a way for people to organize events.	👎 Causes unrealistic views of the world.
👍 Provides opportunities for people to educate themselves and learn from each other.	👎 Can be used to spread false news and propaganda.
👍 Gives families and friends a way to stay connected.	👎 Intensifies political conflicts and polarization.
👍 Enables freedom of speech and press freedom.	👎 Can increase feelings of loneliness.

No matter your views on social media, it’s clear these platforms play a pivotal role in modern society. Censorship in the form of parental controls helps protect children, but governmental control can only bring about disaster.

Governments that ban access to social media generally also apply other forms of social censorship to control the prevailing narrative. That prevents people from learning the truth, speaking their minds, and fighting against oppression. We can even say it’s a form of human rights violation.

Social Censorship Has Been Increasing over the Years

Back in the MySpace days (remember that time?), no one was particularly worried about social media’s greater impact. At the dawn of social media, we were slightly uninitiated.

Today, we know that social media has started revolutions (more on that later), changed some elections’ trajectory, and even influenced the pandemic. Social media has become more entwined in the way we work, access information, and communicate. That has led to increased scrutiny from governments worldwide.

Governments That Like Control Are Panicking

You probably know how deeply entrenched government spying has become with social media. Especially with the NSA bombshell that Edward Snowden dropped in 2013.

After the Snowden revelations, digital privacy quickly became a hot topic. New encrypted messaging platforms, like Telegram, started popping up. These aimed to provide secure communication without spying or censorship, a type of service that fits the public’s newly cemented distrust of governments.

Telegram uses an ultra-secure messaging-encryption protocol called MTPronto. That makes it one of the most secure and private communication methods ever. Since then, many countries have renounced the service. Pakistan, Iran, China, and various countries also banned it entirely, citing national security implications.

 

Russia blocked access to Telegram in 2018. That’s because Telegram refused to give the Federal Security Service backdoor access to its encryption keys. The Russian government then took its war against Telegram a step further: it banned all VPN services that continued to provide access to it.

Governments shouldn’t decide what people can and can’t see online. The web was initially a place that opened up communication and information sharing to everyone. We still strongly believe in that vision. That’s why we use secure 256-AES encryption with a strict No-Logs policy. That way, we protect our Ghosties’ privacy and help them overcome censorship.

Bypass Censorship Now

Social Pressure Is Fueling Censorship

Social media censorship isn’t just limited to governments. These days, the companies that own social media websites are under pressure to regulate the content and users on their platforms. High-profile cases hit the headlines.

 

You may remember what happened with Trump’s Twitter ban and Alex Jones’ ban from Facebook, YouTube, and Apple. Social media bans are much more common than that. Platforms routinely delete posts and comments that they deem objectionable.

Many people debate the arguments for and against online censorship, often around the topic of free speech. Some experts argue that private companies aren’t beholden to free speech laws. That’s why they believe these companies can regulate content on their platforms. Others feel that social media companies have too much power in shaping the world’s narrative. They say these platforms need to be more transparent in their practices.

The world certainly needs to take action against misinformation and fake news. That said, we Ghosties firmly believe in a free and open internet. Censorship and VPNs don’t go together.

How Does a Country Block All Social Media?

We live in a wireless world, so how can countries block certain websites? Most oppressive nations use a few different methods to block social media and any websites that criticize the national governmental regime or religion. We’ll take a look at 2 methods for blocking sites.

1. Blocking Through ISP

The simplest way to block a website for an entire country is to make the internet service providers within that nation block them. That can come in a polite request, or, in some cases, a not-so-veiled strong-arm attempt.

When the internet’s infrastructure is government-owned, it isn’t hard to coerce ISPs into doing the government’s dirty work. That’s the case in many oppressive nations. In Russia, for example, the System of Operational-Investigatory Measures requires telecommunications companies to install “security” programs on their systems. These programs allow the government to spy on user activity without a warrant.

It’s fairly simple to bypass censorship in countries that haven’t banned VPNs. When you use CyberGhost VPN, we run your connection through a secure tunnel to servers in another country. That also hides your IP address and gives you access to foreign social media sites restricted in your country.

Unfortunately, many countries that ban social media also limit VPN use specifically for their abilities to circumvent censorship.

2. Blocking Through ASN

Governments can also block access to social sites through an autonomous system number (ASN).

Each ISP has an ASN assigned to it. If a government wants to block access to a website, it can create an ASN with an IP range that includes the website it wants to block. Routers will then go to the government’s version of that site, not to the actual website. The government essentially fools your router into thinking that a website is hosted in a different place.

It’s a lot easier for governments to block social media access than many people realize. Why, though? What’s the underlying motivation for that extreme reaction?

Why Would a Country Censor Social Media?

Governments that censor social media websites are typically authoritarian regimes. That comes as a big surprise to no one, since most of these nations seek to curb the potential for dissenters. Some governments don’t want anyone to oppose them. That includes anyone from other political parties, detractors, critics, and even the free press.

Religious states also tend to monitor and censor their citizens. In these cases, they’ll also seek to ban anti-religious messages. Censorship silences any voices that rise against the country’s main faith. What’s more, anyone who pushes ideals outside the country’s values may get blocked.

For the most part, religious states didn’t see social media as a huge threat. That all changed after the Arab Spring in 2010.

 

Between December 2010 and December 2012, the world saw a series of protests organized through social media. Young people rose up in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain. In some cases, the movement even shook or overthrew these nations’ oppressive regimes.

The rest of the world witnessed these events, and many governments panicked. Some immediately cracked down on internet use in their countries, hoping to stop radical ideas from spreading.

Social media sites were the first to go. Instead of calling it what it was — control, power, and self-enrichment — these governments cited religious conflict. They used that polarizing threat to block the information flow. That way, they ensured people couldn’t oppose them.

Are VPNs the Solution to Social Media Bans?

Many people use VPNs to circumvent government bans on social media and other websites. Regimes got wind of that and many of them outright banned VPNs. If you’re in a country that bans VPNs, like China or the UAE, the government can arrest you for downloading and using a VPN.

Why People Turn to VPNs in Oppressive Countries

VPNs are effective at circumventing IP-based censorship methods because they redirect a device’s connection through a remote VPN server. That means the VPN changes your IP address to an IP from the VPN server’s location. At the same time, the VPN also encrypts your connection. That way, no one (not even your ISP or government) can access your online browsing history or data.

Here’s a quick explanation of how VPNs work to protect your online privacy. Let’s take a closer look at the other upsides to using a VPN.

The Benefits of Using a VPN

VPNs are beneficial to anyone who wants to gain more privacy online. The benefits listed below are conditional though. A VPN can’t hide any information you choose to enter into websites. VPNs also can’t protect you against malware or viruses. Your government and ISP will also be able to see you’re using a VPN.

That said, it’s still a good idea to invest in good VPN software. Here are 4 perks you get when you use a VPN:

1. Access to the Unfiltered Web

When your government filters the web, they decide what you can and can’t see. That means they can block access to websites you use regularly, at a moment’s notice. If you work online, that can impact your work, too.

CyberGhost VPN has 7900+ servers across the world, providing access to every website and social media platform on the web. We also have dedicated streaming servers, so you can watch shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and every other major streaming service. You don’t have to abide by the ridiculous limitations your government tries to impose on you.

2. Secure Your Connection Against Interference

Your government can track which websites you visit via your IP address. Your ISP also can see everything you do online and the government can order them to hand over that data at any time. Governments in some countries also have backdoors at ISPs that give them direct access to your browsing history. All these people shouldn’t have free rein over your data!

CyberGhost VPN protects your connection using ultra-secure 256-AES encryption. It scrambles your online data into an indecipherable mess. Your government can’t unscramble your info, so it won’t be able to spy on everything you do. So long as you’re not hurting anyone, what you do online isn’t your government’s business.

Protect Your Devices

3. Live Virtually Outside Regions of Censorship

Some countries force VPNs to provide the government with a backdoor to enable them to access your data. Even non-authoritarian governments do this. Countries like the United States, France, New Zealand, and the Netherlands are part of the 5/9/14 Eyes Alliances. These countries can force VPNs to hand over your data.

That’s one reason why we chose to house our offices in Romania. The Romanian government doesn’t force us to log or hand over any personal information. Romania isn’t in any data-collection alliance, so we’re under no legal obligation to share your info, no matter who asks.

We also have a strict No-Logs policy that ensures we don’t monitor or collect your online behavior. This protects your identity and personal information.

4. Browse Anywhere, However You Want

Getting around internet blocks isn’t very useful if you can only do it on one device. You should be able to visit the websites you want no matter where you go, on any device.

That’s why CyberGhost VPN has dedicated apps for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux — so you don’t have to choose just one. You can also install CyberGhost VPN on up to 7 devices simultaneously. That way, your entire household is safe, and you don’t have to worry about switching between devices.

The Free Press Uses VPNs to Protect Publishing Rights

When a government decides to apply censorship in a country, local media and journalists are usually the first to take a hit. That’s why many publications and journalists use tools such as VPNs and The Onion Router (Tor) to be able to do their work. Otherwise, they’d completely lose their freedom.

Like regular citizens, the press uses VPNs to access websites normally restricted by the government. VPNs also help them maintain their privacy and remain protected when they browse online or use tools like Tor to access the dark web. Many major publications also use the dark web to publish news without government interference.

VPNs also allow journalists to contact informants and publish their work without fear of retaliation from authorities.

10 Countries That Blocked Social Media

According to Statista, at least 71 countries have blocked or restricted access to social media in some way since 2015.

 

That’s an incredible number of countries controlling what their people can access online. I won’t cover every incident here, as that’d become a massively long list. Instead, I’ve listed the top 10 nations along with their internet freedom scores according to the Internet Freedom Index.

Hint: This isn’t a top 10 list you want your country to be part of!

1. North Korea — Conceal and Control

Where else would this story begin, but with North Korea? The Tiger Woods of Censorship. A life without the internet? That’s almost unimaginable these days, but it’s the reality for people living in North Korea.

A Censored Life

North Korea’s censorship extends far beyond the social media realm. Most of the population can’t use the internet at all, let alone Western social platforms like Facebook or Twitter.

Internet access in North Korea is only available to high-ranking government officials, scientists, and elite students. Yet, even these individuals have their activities & access tightly monitored. North Korea’s oversight applies to officials stationed abroad, too. North Korean staff members monitor every internet connection these officials have access to.

Government Control is Absolute

The country aims to control all media, from radio to state-sponsored television, to a government-sanctioned intranet. It also blocks most Western sites and all South Korean sites. According to recent rumors, North Korea may have a social media site for its citizens, but we can’t know for sure.

In 2013, North Korea started allowing foreign visitors to access 3G mobile networks. Visitors can still use the internet and social media, although a 30-second video will take about three hours to load.

Most North Koreans have no real sense of what the internet truly is and what it can do. North Korea also outlaws VPNs, and the penalties for their use remain unclear. While some say violations only warrant a simple fine, others have hinted that citizens are put to death if they’re caught using a VPN.

Defectors have even started smuggling USB devices filled with factual news into the country to counteract Kim Jong-un’s propaganda. Non-profits like Flash Drives For Freedom assist them.

2. China — Watchful Eye to Force Social Unity

The communist nation has a long history of social regulation and control. The Great Firewall of China specifically keeps blacklisted websites away from its people’s eyes. This list includes most social media platforms and streaming services.

China Blocks Social Media During Xinjiang Riots

China shut down the “big three” social channels (Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube) in 2009—more than a year before the Arab Spring. China also bans VPNs, except for the government-controlled ones. That said, using a VPN that logs information for the government defeats the entire purpose of using a VPN in the first place.

The social media blocking coincided with the Xinjiang riots. China’s Muslim minority group, the Uyghurs, began a series of protests that turned into violent attacks. Much like the Arab Spring, these activists used Facebook as part of their communication network.

China Breaks Off From the Regular Internet

After the Chinese government quelled the riots, they sought to silence their citizens further. They blocked all communication methods that allowed citizens to share what happened. Banning social media helps keep China in a metaphorical bubble. It also keeps a lid on all political and national events. In all, it allows the Chinese government to control how the global public sees events in China.

The country has its own national social media site called Weibo, where locals can fraternize under the government’s watchful eyes. Localizing the country’s social media also allowed China to monopolize its burgeoning tech industry. Some social apps, like TikTok, exist in China but with different names and under strict rules.

Interestingly, Facebook is partially unblocked in Shanghai’s Free Trade Zone. It’s completely unblocked in Macau and Hong Kong, which operate under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle (for now).

3. Iran — Running for Censorship

The Iranian Presidential Election of 2009 kicked off a downward online censorship spiral. The existing president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was running against three challengers. At the time, his closest rival was CCRF candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Ahmadinejad declared himself the victor with 62% of the tallied votes, despite only about two-thirds of the total votes being cast.

Unsurprisingly, this didn’t sit well with many Iranians. Massive protests numbering millions of participants broke out throughout the country. Again, protesters used social media as a communication tool. In response, the government banned Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, to squash any dissenting ideas.

Filtering the Web Through a Government Lens

Iran has since lifted the social media ban for some platforms. Still, the country uses what it calls “smart filtering” to block certain content on the web. That essentially blocks access to sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter. They also censor “objectionable content”. That means they block access to anything that’s against the Islamic faith and the government’s standards.

The government periodically blocks all access during political upheaval periods. For example, they blocked access to Instagram and Telegram in 2017 and 2018 to stop a series of protests. They’ve even gone as far as to block access to the internet completely for certain parts of the country during particularly tumultuous times.

In 2021, Iran proposed a bill to restrict the internet further, including banning Instagram and WhatsApp. The Iranian government blocked many end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms, like Signal, earlier that year.

4. Vietnam — The Great Pretender

The Vietnamese government pretends they’re okay with social media, but their internet policing says otherwise. It’s so stringent, some people call it the “Bamboo Firewall”. Social media censorship in Vietnam started in 2009, when the government blocked access to Facebook for one week. Though it was never publicly admitted, the intention was to keep citizens from criticizing the government.

Today, Vietnam continues to randomly block social media sites. Still, the government insists that it doesn’t censor social media. Vietnam went on to ban LinkedIn in June of 2016 but access has since been restored. The government attempted to deny the action, but it later came out that their claim was a lie.

A New Law for Online Social Conduct

In 2021, Vietnam introduced a national social media code of conduct. This code prohibits anything that violates “the interests of the state.” It also encourages people to post positive news about the country and government.

Vietnam also blocks some streaming services, including Netflix, HBO, and Hulu. Vietnamese people and tourists can still access these services with a VPN, though.

If you use CyberGhost VPN while in Vietnam, you can use our streaming-optimized servers to get direct access to platforms worldwide. You can also connect to one of our 12 servers in Hanoi to access local content with your privacy intact.

Access Censored Services

5. Russia — Control the Media to Control the Narrative

Russia applies so much online censorship, I could easily write pages about it, but let’s go with the short version.

Creating the Single Register

During the 2011-13 protests in Russia, the country introduced the “single register”. The Russian government uses this tool to block websites, IP addresses, and domains it classifies as “extremist”. Yet, many seemingly normal websites have also fallen under this classification. In 2019, Russia even introduced a bill that fined people and websites criticizing the government and blocked them.

Making the Iron Curtain with China’s Help

Russia has also worked with Chinese Great Firewall security officials to regulate its website filtering framework. In 2019, the country started building systems to isolate Russia’s internet entirely from the rest of the internet, including mobile networks. Some have referred to this as the “online iron curtain”.

Restricting Censorship Workarounds

In 2017, Russia passed a law to restrict VPN use and limit the privacy people gain via end-to-end encryption. The law also required people using online messaging services to provide a phone number. That eliminates the possibility of sending messages anonymously.

Russia has introduced many internet censorship bills in the last decade. The government claims they’re “preventing hostile influence on the population and weakening cultural values”. In 2021, Russia reportedly restricted access to The Onion Router (Tor) to prevent people from working around these laws.

Escalating Censorship During the Ukraine Invasion

Russia ramped up its efforts even more during the 2022 Ukraine invasion. The government censored sites like Facebook and Twitter and accused these sites of spreading false information about the war.

Russia also quickly implemented a new law requiring tech companies to set up legal entities in-country. The law applies to companies including Google, TikTok, and Meta. That forces those companies to bow to Russian laws and put employees at risk of intimidation and jail time. Russia will block any non-compliant company’s services.

6. Belarus — Stay in Power at all Costs

Belarus has a long and interesting history with censorship, going as far back as early 2006. It was then that Belarusian citizens first became aware of the country’s strict control over the internet.

The Logging and Blocking Approach

Since 2007, the government has required that internet cafes log every person that uses their services and the websites they visit. Another law requires all local and international websites to register with the Information Ministry in Belarus. Otherwise, the country blocks the website. The law has been around since 2009.

ISPs in Belarus have to censor many websites deemed “extremist”. The government partially blocked the internet during the 2020 presidential re-elections. The block continued when protests erupted afterward.

Subscribing to Content is a Crime

In the last few years, Belarus has also blocked news publications and radio stations and, in 2021, Belarus passed a law that makes subscribing to certain social media channels (such as Telegram) a criminal offense.

Now, the country has been an “Internet Enemy” for over a decade and it continues to impede web freedom under the Lukashenko regime.

7. Turkey — Cloak to Continue with Impunity

Turkey and Twitter go way back to a vicious feud that kicked off in 2014. Turkey’s Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan, banned Twitter because some recordings circulated on the platform incriminated his government in allegations of corruption. He claimed his political enemies undertook this action. His solution? Delete access to the evidence and pretend it didn’t happen!

The Truth in Tweets

Erdogan claimed his enemies were abusing Twitter to undermine his regime. He also went as far as to vow to “wipe out Twitter” during that incident. The ban only lasted two weeks, though Turkey blocked Twitter temporarily again in 2015. This time, Facebook and YouTube shut down, too.

The 2015 incident was an attempt to stop images circulating of Mehmet Selim Kiraz. Kiraz was a state prosecutor held hostage by militants in an Istanbul courthouse. Kiraz died hours after the ban from bullet wounds he received when security forces stormed the courthouse.

Those bans aren’t in place now, but Turkey continues to be a thorn in Twitter’s side. The country has also submitted a large number of tweet removal requests. According to Twitter, Turkey has the third-highest number of removal requests, after Japan and Russia.

Turkey’s Twitchy Blocking Fingers

Turkey isn’t just at war with Twitter, though. The country has also banned YouTube several times since 2007, for as long as 30 months. YouTube responded by blocking many videos to keep the entire site from being banned. Yet, that wasn’t enough. Turkish prosecutors have gone so far as to request that Google block videos on YouTube internationally, but the company didn’t comply.

Turkey has blocked a very long list of websites and domains over the years. Speculatively, we’re talking about more than 150,000 sites. That includes Facebook and WhatsApp (temporarily), Reddit, 4Chan, and Wikipedia.

The country even blocked popular Google and file-sharing tools like GoogleDrive, Google Translate, Google Docs, and Dropbox. Turkey has also blocked several VPNs and even The Onion Router (Tor) in the past.

8. Turkmenistan — Outlawing Criticism

The Turkmenistan government tightly controls mass media and social media use. Any criticism against the president or government is also expressly forbidden. Internet access was only opened up to a few citizens of the country in 2008, and it’s still largely restricted and heavily monitored.

Monopolizing the Internet

Most citizens only have access to Turkmenet, a local intranet run by the government. Turkmenet doesn’t provide access to outside social platforms like Facebook or Twitter. Apparently, the country has a local social networking system, although I couldn’t confirm its existence.

Interestingly, certain Russian social networks, including Odnoklassniki and Mail Agent Chatting, were accessible at some point. Now, the country bans these networks, too. Turkmenistan got its first (government-sanctioned) messaging app in 2018.

As the state-owned TurkmenTelecom monopolizes internet access, this country is often at the bottom of press and internet freedom lists.

9. Bangladesh — Prevent Dissent by Any Means

In 2015, the Bangladesh Supreme Court decided to uphold two convicted war criminals’ death sentences. The resulting public outcry “forced” the government to completely sever internet access for everyone in the country.

When the internet came back, several services remained blocked. The blocked list included social media sites like Facebook and popular messaging apps like WhatsApp. At first, the government said that it was a mistake. Except, that wasn’t true.

The authorities eventually amended their statement, citing safety concerns as the reason for the block. Facebook access was down for more than a month, while the government banned Twitter and several chat apps for a much longer period.

Filtering the Internet the “Smart” Way

In 2019, the Bangladeshi authorities set up a surveillance and filtering program similar to Iran’s “smart filtering” system. That program was under the Cyber Threat Detection and Response initiative. Telemarketing companies in Bangladesh also had to stop services that provided free access to social media.

10. Uganda — The Downtrodden Can’t Complain

This African nation is testing a new fad that political analysts describe as dictatorship light. The sitting president has been in power since 1986, but has just recently started dabbling in social media censorship. Rather than ban these services outright, Uganda is trying to place a tax on social media apps. Yes, you read that correctly.

In 2018, the controversial tax started charging people 200 Ugandan shillings (then-equivalent to USD 0.05) per day to access 60 different mobile apps. These include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Critics of the tax have accused the Ugandan president of stifling the poorest citizens’ voices, as this tax may be taking away their right to free expression.

Doubling Down on an Absurd Tax

The government claimed it was to discourage the “spread of gossip” and to earn some revenue from the popularity of foreign-controlled apps. The public didn’t receive this proposed tax well, but the Ugandan president continued to defend it. He referred to the use of social media as a luxury item, comparing it to beer, tobacco, and perfume.

Most people in Uganda used VPNs to avoid the social media tax. That’s why the government made changes to the tax, which came into effect on 1 July 2021. They now charge all internet users a 12% tax on top of the existing 18% in VAT charges. That brings internet use charges to a total of 30%. That’s a price too steep to pay for many Ugandan citizens, who live below the poverty line.

Is Social Media a Right?

Several countries have taken extraordinary steps to block their citizens’ access to social media websites. That creates a censored environment, one that’s hidden away from the rest of the world’s scrutiny.

Government control of social media started a bigger discussion around personal freedom. Has social media become a basic human right? Will we see a day where everyone is free to tweet? That’s our expectation and hope and that’s what we’re trying to make possible here at CyberGhost VPN.

When you use CyberGhost VPN, our strong encryption gives you a new level of online privacy and freedom. After installing CyberGhost VPN, you can connect to one of our secure servers to change your IP address and browse the web with enhanced privacy.

Living in a Democratically Free Country? Here’s Why You Should Use a VPN

 

VPNs are immensely useful to people who can’t otherwise access websites and social media platforms without them. They can still be useful to you, too, even if you don’t live in a country that limits your freedom.

No matter how democratic your country is, your government can still monitor your internet activity. Websites and advertisers use trackers to follow you around the web and digitally profile you, while cybercriminals can still stalk you or target you with Distributed Denial of Service or man-in-the-middle attacks.

When you use CyberGhost VPN, you’re safe from cyberattacks and digital privacy invasions.

CyberGhost VPN uses the strongest form of encryption on the market to prevent outsiders from seeing what you do online. It comes with other perks, too. For one, you can access streaming platforms when abroad and get better deals when shopping online. Either way, you’ll get improved online privacy as advertisers can’t track your IP and profile you.
