Is there any conflict between Kaspersky and Cyberghost?

Hi everyone,
Is there anyone in this forum install booth Kaspersky and Cyberghost on the same machine? Have you experience any conflict between Kaspersky and Cyberghost? Please share your experience with me

Hmmm don't see what conflict there could be between 2 different types of software? I have cyberghost and have tried several AV products in the past with it and haven't run into any issues. One thing might be going through kaspersky's firewall settings and allowing the ports that Cyberghost needs to connect to the VPN servers (had issues with that when using online amour and zonealarm free firewall).

you must add CG to Kaspersky firewall.

I've only had conflicts between Private Internet Access client and AV's. It uses Ruby interpreter and spawns a new tmp file everytime it runs so most AV's don't know what to do with some. Some just block it outright. However Cyberghost isn't like that and I haven't had any compatibility problems while using it for a very very short time. Kaspersky (when I used it very recently) didn't have any conflicts with PIA client so I doubt it will conflict with Cyberghost. Don't hurt to add exclusions though just in case.

Partly correct, Malware generally uses the spawn of TMP files during infection and like some packers most AV do block it by default.

You mean if I add Cyberghost as exclusions on Kaspersky, some threats can harm my computer?

No excluding Cyberghost does not make your protection weaker.

I don't understand the last sentence of @OokamiCreed comment ("Don't hurt to add exclusions though just in case.")

Well he tells you that it does not hurt your PC security if you add Cyberghost to the exclusion list (Aka White list)

It means it is better to be safe than sorry. Prevent the complication before it happens by adding an exclusion. Although I doubt anything will happen. Kaspersky firewall never interfered with anything when I used it.

There is a problem:

If you connect to CyberGhost VPN first and then update the KIS program, the KSN won't work any more.

@Sher @Maxxx58 You may be able to exclude KSN from CyberGhost VPN, if you know the connecting web address or IP.

How to know which website KSN uses?

As this was a suggestion, that information may or not be publicly available, you will need to contact Kaspersky Support or check their Forums.
