CyberGhost vs PrivateVPN

CyberGhost and PrivateVPN both cover the basic VPN job, but the practical split is outside verification and traffic control. Start with those two differences and ignore the shared basics.

The privacy claim has independent backing

CyberGhost's no-logs claim has an independent audit behind it. PrivateVPN does not currently have a completed independent no-logs or security audit. If an independently checked privacy claim is part of your minimum bar, this is the strongest documented separator in the pair.

Split tunneling adds everyday control

CyberGhost has split tunneling on at least part of its supported platform set. Split tunneling is not confirmed as available for PrivateVPN. That matters when some apps or local devices need to stay outside the VPN while the rest of your traffic remains inside it.

Router setup is still documented

PrivateVPN officially documents router setup. CyberGhost officially documents router setup. Both services already cover that job, so router support is a shared basic here.

The trade-off is what is missing around it

The audit and split-tunneling gaps are the two compromises on the PrivateVPN side. If neither one touches your routine, the smaller brief may still be enough. If either one does, the choice gets much easier.
