Website: https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/ - The 2-year plan costs €56.94 for the first 26 months, then renews at €56.94 every year [1]. - There is no 1-year plan; the monthly plan costs €11.99 [1]. - One subscription covers up to 7 devices at once [3]. - Deloitte Audit Romania's 2025 report covers the server network and the no-logs setup [5]. - Servers run from RAM and are wiped on every reboot [4].
