For many VPN users, network stability is a big concern.
They do not want their activities to be visible on the public network because of a disconnection. Indeed, if a disconnection happens, your real IP address is found uncovered (the one provided by your ISP). And suddenly, you find yourself vulnerable and your activities can be stalked again.
To avoid this problem, cyberghost offers the “kill switch” function. This function completely cuts off your internet connection if your VPN connection no longer works.
Having a dedicated IP address can be useful if you use sites like Gmail, eBay, PayPal, Facebook or even your online banking account.
Indeed, many of these services will reject your connection attempt if they detect that your current IP address differs from the one used to create the account. They will then ask you to recheck your account each time they log into their site, which is far from practical.
A dedicated IP will limit these repetitive checks as much as possible since you will always keep the same virtual location.
In addition, a dedicated ip will also allow you to escape blacklists. Indeed, one disadvantage of a shared IP is that you never know what other users are doing with the same IP address. This is why shared IP addresses may appear in blacklists, limiting your access to certain websites.
For these reasons, a dedicated IP address will greatly reduce the likelihood of it being blacklisted.
Wifi Protection allows you to automatically connect to a Cyberghost server when you access a new network, like a public Wifi for example.
App Protection, allows you to connect to a specific location when you open an application, like your torrent client for example.
