TunnelBear for Teams is the perfect fit for small to medium sized businesses that rely on cloud-based tools for everyday communication and work.

VPN is a service that gives you safe and private access to the internet. By encrypting your connection, a VPN hides your IP and online activity from spying eyes and cybercriminals.

Lilian: Hi guys, I am Lilian, a digital marketing executive. I've used TunnelBear and I'm still using it. I'll give it a five out of five star rating. And for more reviews like this, click the link below. We use TunnelBear ... me and my team, we use TunnelBear on a day to day basis for us to be able to access the internet, and for a secure and reliable browsing experience. So we then use TunnelBear. I love TunnelBear because it unblocks a lot of streaming channels like Netflix, and also the fact that we can send our information using a secure VPN. One thing that I don't like about TunnelBear is that in terms of the packages on the unlimited, it only has up to five devices that you can connect. I feel if you could only add more devices that you can connect.

Joe M: Hi, I'm Joe, and I am a VP of new product development, rating this NordVPN product about four out of five stars. And for more reviews like this, just click below. We did a lot of research on the VPN security tools as the pandemic hit and we had to put a lot of employees working from home. I looked at McAfee and I looked at Norton, and while they seemed like good products, they were very pricey. We chose NordVPN over the others for several reasons. Number one is it has an amazing reputation, but more than that, it was substantially cheaper. I was able to get a two year deal, and I can't remember what the price was, but it was really somewhere about half the price of what the others were charging. And it was really, really easy to implement and is easy to use and easy to update. Onboarding and integrating the product was very easy. It was really a matter of once we purchased a product, sending a link to all of our employees, having them download it and create their user and their login and they were up and running. I would certainly recommend Nord to anybody who's in this ... looking for a service like this, especially a small company like ours. We are very cost conscious and these guys are really, really well-priced, and it works very, very well, simple to use.
