Enjoy the strongest VPN encryption and the security provided by CyberGhost VPN
When surfing the internet, every information you send and receive is compiled into readable data packets going through your Internet Service Provider (ISP.)
It’s easy for your ISP to monitor your online activity and browsing habits. In most countries, ISPs have the legal obligation to keep logs on users for up to two years. Authorities and law enforcement officials can request access to them. Most of the times, they don’t even need a warrant. And, as you can imagine, users aren’t notified that their digital data has been accessed by a third party.
In other cases, ISPs can choose to monetize your data, selling your browsing habits to advertisers wanting to target you.
Now’s the time to start encrypting your internet traffic. And you can do so with a VPN.
A VPN, short for Virtual Private Network, lets you hide your IP address and reroute your traffic through a tunnel with AES 256-bit encryption.
Encryption is a method of encoding messages or information so that it is only accessible and readable to authorized parties.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This is a symmetric key encryption cipher, meaning that the same key used to encrypt the data is used to decrypt it locally on your device.
The fact that AES has been certified by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology as a secure and viable measure for safeguarding data made it popular. Right now, governments and armed forces worldwide use it to protect sensitive national information.
The 256-bit encryption has an encryption key length of 2265. There are 1.2 x 1077 possible combinations needed to unveil a single encryption key. That’s about 115 quattuorvigintillion possibilities.
The number is indeed a mouthful; the idea is that it’s impossible to crack. Such an attempt would require extreme computational power and some million years to succeed.
Our CyberGhost VPN apps are designed with privacy and security in mind. That’s why we have several VPN protocols available for you.
OpenVPN is a versatile open source VPN protocol.
It supports both TCP and UDP ports, customizing your online experience and catering to your browsing or streaming needs.
In addition to providing very strong encryption, OpenVPN is compatible with most platforms and can even be set up on routers.
Internet Key Exchange version 2 is a VPN protocol developed by Microsoft and Cisco.
This is a proprietary protocol with native support for Windows and iOS devices. Paired with the IPSec protocol, it generates powerful cryptographic algorithms and keys. It is often featured in VPN solutions for mobile devices because it’s excellent at reconnecting during network switches.
WireGuard®, a new entry on the VPN scene, is a fast protocol featuring state-of-the-art encryption capabilities.
WireGuard® mixes OpenVPN’s tight security with the IKEv2’s fast speeds. It’s an easy-to-configure and secure protocol. So, choose it for its high performance and excellent VPN protection.
