Have made the update to OS14.2.1 with my iMac (2020). Have downloaded the newest version of Cyberghost VPN (8.4.0-181) and installed it. When launching at some point the software stalls. The grey ghost appears on the menu-bar but no way to open it and ev change settings.
I have used CyberGhost for many years without major problems. Major problems came up since I have installed SONOMA on my iMac Retina 5K, 27 inch, 2019. However, today I manage to run CyberGhost doing the following:
I have installed CyberGhost on my iPad and on my iPhone for many years now. Usually CyberGhost runs quite smoothly. On the iPad you can always see if CyberGhost is active since "VPN" appears on the upper right corner. Careful you have to be with your iPhone since there the remark "VPN" does not always appear. For your security, use CyberGhost whenever you use an external WLAN.
I have the exact same system (2019 27" iMac) and configuration (sonoma) as you and I installed the latest cyberghostvpn app and nothing (seemed to have) happened when I tried to run it. I contacted cyberghost and eventually I got a list of things to do to remove it and reinstall the app: kill (two) running processes, run keychain access (util) and remove cyberghost, run the uninstaller app (which I had already acquired), (I was also supposed to login to their website and remove my mac from the list of active devices but it was not listed. and I was supposed to have unchecked "send anonymous data" from the app's settings menu but I only did this after the new install had already seemed to be working), restart mac and download their mac app from their website. This time when I ran the app (which should have been exactly equivalent to my first install which failed) the app opened as a skinny black menu descending from the top menu bar. It's remotely possible that the initial install and run "failed" because the app opened in the background instead of the foreground so I didn't see it - but I highly doubt it. It appears the Apple system control for connecting and disconnecting the vpn (from the top menu bar icon) doesn't always work (for cyberghostvpn) and there may be some difficulty in general connecting and disconnecting this vpn but I believe it is plenty functional.
Hello i am using cyberghost vpn software and it is working perfectly. but my problem is when i put a download in utorrent i can see my real ip address and cyberghost ip address in peerlist with port numbur. how to hide my real ip address in utorrent peer list how to solve this problem.
yaa now i have did what you said i put external ip in Preferences > Bittorrent > "IP/Hostname to report to tracker" and now i have tested downloading torrents with my vpn software. and now my real ip address and vpn ip address is not showing in the peer list. now it is showing the external ip address what i put in Preferences > Bittorrent > "IP/Hostname to report to tracker". actually what was the problem. anybody know to correctly configure utorrent with vpn software then plzz explain.thankyou.
The ONLY TIME you need to be concerned about a local IP 'leaking' is when the Internet connection is DIRECTLY connected to the machine via a USB modem such as a mobile broadband 'dongle' or a smartphone.
ya that i know but actually why is my internel ip address showing in the peer list while running with vpn software. what causes this. and can i trust that my internel ip address is not showing in others peer list.
You need to forward uTorrent's listening port at the VPN server but there is no mention of port forward capability in the FAQ. Without this uTorrent will be permanently firewalled, which in addition to the relatively slow speeds mentioned in the FAQ would make this VPN less than ideal for torrenting.
You don't need to forward anything at the VPN server, all the traffic is routed through the CyberGhost server when you are connected to it so the connection is ok. I tried it myself, connected to a Romanian server and it's working. All you need to do is not try to connect to US servers because torrents are blocked on all US servers
The thread is marked as "SOLVED" but I did not understand how... sorry!
If somebody could help it would be great.
I'm using zorin 15.3 based on ubuntu 18.04 and I encountered the same terminal messages as in the topic listed above.
If you are getting the error that Cyberghost requires glibc 2.29, this is the fault of Cyberghost, not Ubuntu. They did not properly create the installation package and check the dependencies needed.
The supported glibc in Zorin OS 15.3 is 2.28.
You do at least have the option of installing Zorin OS 16 now that it has been released, however. It is using glib 2.31 .... Assuming that Cyberghost did not set the Ubuntu 20.04 version to have a higher dependency than it actually has as well.
No LSB modules are available.

Checking if glibc version is compatible
Couldn't detect a valid version of your distribution.
Make sure you have downloaded the correct install package for your distribution
Note: We support only the following distributions for Debian based OS:
When I contacted the cyberghost support, they told me that ubuntu 18.04 itself is supported, but not any ubuntu 18.04 based distro, because each one should need specific settings. I don't know if it makes sense, I'm not genius in tech stuff...
It doesn't make sense. Because it's wrong.
Cyberghost did not write an install script - they reused an existing one. It's an easy fix - if you know how to fix it. Each distro does not need different settings. Nor is there any reason why they should.
I know, I am knocking Cyberghost a lot here. Cough.
Anyway...
The template script they used merely calls on existing Distros instead of recognizing Base OS.
You cannot change that, but what you can do is modify the script to say "Zorin" instead of "Ubuntu" and then it will run.
The reverse is also true: You could change your own lsb_release file to say "Ubuntu" instead of "Zorin", and the installer would run all the same.
The downside is, I cannot seem to get my hands on the Installer, since I would have to buy it- and I need to look at the files in the installer in order to give you details of what to change and where to look...
Hello!
I'm really sorry it took me sooo long to answer you: I'm flight attendant and in the last 10 days they sent me all over europe to work. Finally back home!
Before leaving, I contacted cyberghost assistance asking if they could do something to help. Well... they have been "concise" and not very friendly, so I decided to unsubscribe.
On the windows computer at home we experience some connection issues using the vpn, too ...so... 1+1 = bye bye.
Apart from that, I really want to thank you for your help: very appreciated!
I am using Cyberghost 6 on a Windows 10 machine, and I've upgraded to a premium plus account. This vpn service is praised by many online reviews and many of them say that it provides a kill switch. However, I've searched a lot in the settings for this switch but couldn't find it. Anyone can help with that ? After all, what is a vpn if it wasn't for the kill switch.
There is no kill switch, you can easily test it yourself. Just make a ping to google, then close cyberghost.exe in the task manager and you will see that there is no interruption, also your network icon is not showing that it is disconnected. Cyberghost is NOT safe.
Yes, I just realized that. I am located in India with very few options as this country will ruin it for all the countries in the world. All VPNs and emails that don't give away everything including email content, ipaddress, card details, bitcoin accounts, device information in detail cannot operate here in this shithole.
To kill a task or a process called cyberghost means nothing because the vpn don't need this elements to work ... on Linux you don't have something active and called cyberghost but the vpn works though ...A least check your IP address after killing the cyberghost.exe ...
The whole point of a Kill Switch is, for the most important example I need it for; to prevent you from being caught torrenting on your normal unsecured IP.
If the VPN isn't working or blacks out temporarily instead of continuing to torrent your connection stops totally. This is so you will never be unprotected as long as you're using Cyberghost. You paid frigging $ so you'd never be caught, whatever you were doing, Torrenting, Hacking the USA Democratic National Committee so Republicans can win, without a kill switch you can still be easily caught doing so, and be hauled in front of Mueller's team.
As was mentioned.. Open a browser or ping to the net.. Will be no interruption in your service when you kill cyberghost. I believe it's unsafe also and canceled my sub within just 24 hours of using it.
I have been using CyberGhost since May 2021. I am on a 3 year subscription. BEWARE that cyberghost does not work on Ubuntu versions above 20.04. I have written to the technical department and the reply was "Please don't worry since our developers are still improving our application for the Linux Operating system, and a possible app that will be compatible with all versions of Linux, might be released soon. Although, we can't provide an exact time frame when it will be released or implemented" I received this reply a year ago, and again when I enquired recently, and was given exactly the same answer.
