How to Get a CyberGhost Free Trial

In our opinion, CyberGhost offers the best 100% VPN free trial there is. It’s a 24-hour completely free trial, available on PC and Mac, that doesn’t require any credit card or payment details.

There are also two other free trials available on mobile: a seven-day free trial on iOS and a three-day one on Android. Once you’ve signed up, you can use your new free CyberGhost account on any device.

CyberGhost also runs a very long 45-day money-back guarantee. As long as you request your money back within the refund window, you can use CyberGhost for free for 45 days.

Finally, there is also the option to use CyberGhost’s free Chrome and Firefox extensions. While you only get access to eight servers (located in Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, and the United States), the US server surprisingly still works with US Netflix.

The table below compares the different ways you can test CyberGhost for free:

Platform	Free Trial Period	Money-Back Guarantee
Windows	24 Hours	45 Days*
macOS	24 Hours	45 Days*
Linux	24 Hours	45 Days*
Android	3 Days	45 Days*
iOS	7 Days	45 Days*

CyberGhost’s desktop and laptop free trial lasts exactly one day from the second you sign up for it.

All you need is an email address – make sure you use a real one as you will have to verify it before you can use the VPN.

To get your one-day CyberGhost free trial, follow these step-by-step instructions on your Windows or macOS computer:

1. Open your web browser and go to the free trial page on the official CyberGhost website.

 

1. Click the Start your free trial button to download the CyberGhost installer.

 

1. Install CyberGhost on your PC or Mac.
2. When you open CyberGhost for the first time you’ll be asked to log in or sign up. Click Sign up at the bottom of the app, then enter an email address and password for your new account.

1. The app will now tell you that activation is required. Go to the inbox of the email address you used to sign up and check for an email from CyberGhost. Click the link inside it to activate your account. If you can’t find the email then check your spam folder.

 

1. Return to the CyberGhost app and log in with your newly-activated credentials. You now have unrestricted access to the full premium CyberGhost VPN. The countdown in the top right-hand corner will show you how long it is until your trial expires.

 

1. When the trial expires you’ll be shown this message in the app – you’ll have to subscribe to keep using the VPN.

 

The step-by-step instructions below explain how to get a three-day CyberGhost free trial via the Google Play Store.

You won’t need to enter your credit card details for this method – you’ll only need your email address.

Here’s how to get a CyberGhost free trial on Android:

1. Find the CyberGhost Google Play Store listing and tap Install.

 

1. Open CyberGhost. You’ll be asked if you wish to opt in to submitting anonymous usage data for the purpose of improving the product – both agreeing or declining are fine.

 

1. Once you’ve made a choice the next screen will ask you to create an account. Enter an email and create a strong unique password.

 

1. You’ll now see a sign-up screen with two options: Subscribe now and Subscribe for US $9.99 /month. Be careful: you only get the free trial with the first option. It’s the annual subscription package, which will be charged as a $49.99 one-time payment.

   

   Don’t worry, though: as long as you cancel the subscription within 72 hours of signing up, you won’t be charged.

2. Enter your payment details and you’re all done. You can now use CyberGhost free for three whole days. If you forget to cancel before the end of the trial period, you will be signed up for a one-month subscription. If that happens, ask CyberGhost’s live chat support for a no-questions-asked refund.

Following recent changes to the way the App Store handles in-app payments, getting the CyberGhost free trial on iOS works a little differently.

Use the instructions below to get a seven-day CyberGhost free trial on iOS devices:

1. Open the App Store and search for CyberGhost, then tap on its listing.
2. Don’t tap the Install button – instead, scroll down the section of the listing labeled Subscriptions. There will be a 1 Month Plan option there – tap the FREE TRIAL button underneath it.

 

1. On the next screen that pops up, tap INSTALL & SUBSCRIBE.

 

1. You’re now all ready to use CyberGhost on your iPhone or iPad. Just like with the Android version, as long as you cancel the subscription before the end of the seven-day trial period then your Apple ID will not be charged. If you do not you will be automatically signed up for a one-month subscription.

With the 24-hour free trial of CyberGhost on Windows or macOS, you don’t need to do anything to cancel it. When the trial expires, you’ll be presented with this screen:

After this point, you won’t be able to use CyberGhost until you take out a paid subscription.

Canceling your free trial on mobile devices requires a few additional steps, though.

How to Cancel a CyberGhost Free Trial on iOS

If you’re on an iOS device, you’ll need to cancel your free trial manually if you don’t want to be billed. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Settings app and tap on your name at the top of the screen.

1. Tap Subscriptions.

1. Find CyberGhost and tap on it.

1. Tap Cancel Free Trial.

As long as you do this before the end of your trial period you will not be charged.

How to Cancel a CyberGhost Free Trial on Android

If you’ve signed up for a free trial on Android, you’ll also need to manually cancel the trial period to avoid being charged. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Google Play Store app.

1. Tap on your profile picture in the top right-hand corner.

1. Tap Payments and Subscriptions then Subscriptions.

1. Tap on CyberGhost then Cancel Trial.

It’s very rare for a VPN as good as CyberGhost to offer a genuine free trial without payment on all platforms.

However, the maximum trial length you can get is seven days. To try the VPN for free for longer, you’ll have to make use of its money-back guarantee.

CyberGhost is a great value VPN, even without considering its free trial. At its cheapest, CyberGhost costs $2.19 per month when you pay for its three-year plan up front.

Like all VPNs, CyberGhost’s long-term subscriptions offer the best value. In fact, the one-month plan costs $12.99, which is slightly higher than the average month-to-month cost of a VPN.

Remember, when the CyberGhost free trial for iOS or Android ends, you’ll automatically sign up to the $12.99 one-month subscription plan.
