What is CyberGhost, can someone tell me about it and how to use UK IP to get it? thank in advance!
It's a VPN ( virtual Private Network) which is a secured encrypted connection. It's encrypt ur data & tunnels u to through the internet. You can access restricted sites with VPN & is better then proxy software's. that's' what i know
I'd like to add a little more..........
Cyberghost is a VPN software. It'll help you mask your IP address so that when you visit a wesite or download something from the web, no one from the other side can track you down. When you normally connect to the Internet you make direct contact with the website that you're visiting. As a result your ORIGINAL IP address is registered onto their site and if for some reason they have to, they can track you down.... yeah that's right... down to your bedroom.
This is where the VPN softwares like CyberGhost come handy. When you use a VPN software all your traffic are tunneled through their servers. i.e, when you click on malwaretips.com you're not directly connected to malwaretips.com instead all the traffic (data) are transferred to you/MalwareTips through the VPN servers. And since you don't make direct conact with this site, there's no way this site can track your IP address. Instead the IP address that'll be registered onto this site will be the IP address of the VPN server that you'd use. Every VPN service providers have multiple servers in multiple countries. For example you use a Canada server to connect to malwaretips.com and the site will think you're from canada. You can use any server from the list shown inside the VPN software, provided you have the subscription for that.
***Note that not all servers can mask your IP when you use a P2P service (torrent). Make sure you check that out and choose the right server if you want to do anonymous P2P sharing.
Almost all VPN service providers doesn't keep any log about your activity. And therefore it doesn't matter what you do over the Internet (using VPN) no ones gonna hunt you down. There'd be absolutely no evidence to link anything back to you.
And if you're wondering I would like to add this as well.... All the traffic coming to and fro the VPN servers are encrypted.
Advice:
1. Don't do illegal things on the Internet even if you have a VPN. You can never be 100% sure that they don't keep any log.
2. Even if they don't keep any log, don't do it. Cuz one day or the other you'll get caught due to human errors. 'Doing errors' is hard coded into our genes. You can tame it but can't kill it.
3. Use it to protect yourself from hackers and other peoples out there to harm you. And to visit sites that are not available to or blocked in our country.
I hope this is helpful to you.
