The free option that CyberGhost was once known for has been dropped altogether. You cannot opt for a stripped version of the subscription for which you do not have to pay anything. If you want a good subscription, it will always cost you something. However, there are options to get your money back if you are not satisfied. It depends on the type of subscription you choose, which term you get. For short subscriptions, that period is 14 days. For long subscriptions this is even 45 days. You can then indirectly use the service for one and a half months for free. Although this is of course not the same as a free subscription. It is always the case that you have to pay first to take out a subscription with the provider.
