How to use CyberGhost VPN in Austria
3 quick steps and you’re ready to go
Your data is highly sought after
The internet was meant to be free and open to anyone. But sadly, that’s not the case, with internet surveillance becoming the norm. Everything you do online is collected and stored. And Austria is no exception to this.
The European Data Retention Directive has been a privacy nightmare for all European citizens. This threat has lurked over Austrian citizens for over a decade.
And while Austrian authorities have been playing cat and mouse with its implementation, there is no guarantee of what the future holds.
However, let’s not forget that your data is being harvested with every site and social media page you frequent. Targeted ads have been a game changer for online platforms, which caused data to be collected by the bulk.
Not to mention data breaches are becoming a worryingly common occurrence. Austrian businesses have also been targeted, as they usually don’t rely on cybersecurity as much as they should.
Torrenting is not the best idea in Austria
Torrent users in Austria are often under close watch to prevent piracy and copyright infringement. The Austrian laws fiercely protects intellectual property and copyright holders. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that there are legal penalties involved for copyright infringement involved. And fines can get pretty hefty.
Austrians authorities also seem to be torn up on torrenting sites. While the ban on sites likes The Pirate Bay and isoHunt has been lifted in 2016, these sites are again blocked by ISPs.
And while there might be some mirror sites that help bypass these restrictions, don’t forget that copyright trolls can still get their hand on your IP address. Which makes you susceptible to those substantial fines we mentioned earlier.
But with CyberGhost as your VPN provider, you won’t have to worry about torrents anymore.
We have VPN servers specially optimized for torrenting. They are blazing fast, giving you unlimited bandwidth and the best security features.
With our DNS-leak protection and automatic kill switch, you’ll be the only one knowing about your torrenting activities.
Stay safe on public Wi-Fis networks
Wireless connections are so common nowadays that we don’t even stop to think the dangers they might pose. Here’s the catch. The networks you use in cafés, airports, or hotels usually lack a secure setup or even a password.
This means that every time you go online using an unsecured Wi-Fi network, you risk exposing your data.
You should know that cybercrime has become a very lucrative business, so hackers have every reason to keep perfecting their methods. This is worrying when you consider that there is already a multitude of malicious associations and attacks that target open Wi-Fi networks.
Therefore it’s important to secure your online presence no matter where you are. Our military-grade encryption offers the best protection available and even today’s supercomputers can’t get past it.
Smash all geo-restrictions
By now, we’re mostly familiar with geo-restrictions and how frustrating they can be. Due to licensing issues many foreign TV shows and movies are restricted in Austria.
Most streaming services detect your location based on your IP address. Then they decide what content is available for you to watch.
One popular example of this is Netflix. Even if you have a subscription, you still can’t get the entire library of content in Austria.
The same holds true for Amazon Prime or YouTube Premium. Other services, like Hulu or BBC aren't available to view within Austrian borders at all.
However, with our VPN service by your side, that’s no longer the case. CyberGhost VPN allows you to hide your IP address and replace it with another one from our network. This way, their localization software will no longer be able to detect your real location.
And if you’re travelling abroad and feel homesick, CyberGhost VPN makes it easy to catch up with all from favorite shows on ORF.
Get protection for all your gadgets
We’re not the top VPN for Austria for nothing. Besides our leading VPN technologies, you can use CyberGhost VPN on up to 7 devices at the same time.
So, whether you need an iPhone VPN, an Android VPN or a VPN for Mac or PC look no further.
We have dedicated apps for: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV & Fire Stick, Android TV, Linux, and even routers
A wide array of CyberGhost VPN servers are available for you all over Europe
