Super Easy 8 Step CyberGhost Linux Installation Guide

So, we all know that Linux is not the easiest operating system out there. While it’s pretty self-explanatory to install apps like VPNs on a Windows computer, it can be quite tricky to install them on Linux-based devices.

That being said, premium VPNs like CyberGhost actually makes everything a lot simpler in terms of installation. By providing a command-based Linux app, CyberGhost makes it super easy to get started.

But in case you’re new to the Linux operating system, I’ve compiled this super short CyberGhost Linux installation guide for all Linux distros including Ubuntu 16, Ubuntu 18, Ubuntu 19.04, Fedora 29, and Fedora 30.

CyberGhost Linux features

The Linux app of CyberGhost comes with just the same features you get on any other app of CyberGhost. You get access to 7700+ servers in 90+ countries. You can also use premium features like Leak Protection, Automatic Kill Switch, Fast speeds, 256-bit AES Encryption, and secure protocols like OpenVPN, L2TP-IPsec, and even PPTP.
