Frequently Asked Questions
Is the browser plugin enough for secure browsing?
Browser plugins are not enough for complete secure browsing. A CyberGhost Chrome extension mainly protects browser traffic, while the full VPN app encrypts device-wide connections and adds features such as kill-switch and DNS-leak protection.
How does the browser tool differ from desktop software?
The browser tool differs from desktop software by protecting Chrome traffic only, while the full VPN app secures all device traffic, including other browsers and applications, with broader privacy features such as a kill switch and system-wide encryption.
Should I choose the plugin or the full application?
Choosing the plugin or full application depends on protection needs: the CyberGhost Chrome extension suits basic browser privacy, while the full VPN application encrypts all device traffic and provides stronger security. For comprehensive protection, choose the full application.
Does the browser proxy offer true online privacy?
A browser proxy does not provide true online privacy. It typically protects only browser traffic, lacks full-device encryption, and may not include advanced safeguards such as a kill switch or DNS leak protection. A full VPN application offers more comprehensive protection.
Which privacy features are missing in the browser plugin?
The browser plugin lacks full-device VPN encryption, a system-wide kill switch, DNS leak protection, and multi-hop routing. It primarily secures Chrome traffic, while the full CyberGhost app protects all applications and connections.
