If you're a pro gamer, setting up a VPN connection on your PlayStation is mandatory. Otherwise, you never know when you become a victim of swatting or a DDoS attack. Unfortunately, PlayStation doesn't support VPN clients natively. Hence, you can't directly run a CyberGhost VPN on your PS4 or PS5.

But there is a way to mask your real IP and location to access region-locked games on your PlayStation. CyberGhost's Smart DNS technology is the key to doing that. So, let's learn how to download, install, and use CyberGhost VPN on PlayStation without further ado.
