Technical Infrastructure
During our deep-dive audit of CyberGhost, the network spans 11,000+ servers across 100 countries—the second-largest fleet after PIA. The flagship infrastructure feature is NoSpy servers: a physically isolated cluster in CyberGhost's own Bucharest data center with zero third-party colocation, proprietary hardware, and restricted physical access that excludes even standard ISP technicians. All servers enforce AES-256-GCM with 4096-bit RSA handshakes under OpenVPN, and a WireGuard stack for users prioritizing throughput.

- Smart Rules Engine
- Pre-configured Profiles

- WireGuard / OpenVPN
Privacy Safeguards
- Audited No-Logs
- RAM-Only Server Infrastructure
- Perfect Forward Secrecy
The Smart Rules engine makes CyberGhost's infrastructure behavior conditional rather than always-on: you can configure the VPN to activate automatically when connecting to specific Wi-Fi SSIDs, launch alongside designated applications, or schedule a disconnect window during trusted hours. This rule-based approach reduces the performance overhead of constant-on VPN operation while maintaining protection precisely when and where it matters.
