CyberGhost’s parent company, Kape Technologies, must then invest engineering hours not into improving encryption or speed, but into building ever-more-intrusive DRM (Digital Rights Management) to detect trial abuse. This creates an arms race: the abuser uses a MAC address changer; the developer deploys browser fingerprinting. To get a free trial, you end up surrendering more metadata to the VPN’s analytics than a paying user would.
