### "A good, simple VPN"

February 9, 2021

5.0

it's been great! would recommend it to friends who need an easy to use VPN.

Pros

It was easy - it has a cool mascot and they're offering a good service especially since everything is trying to track you these days.

Cons

The price isn't as good as some of the competition - They do have a free tier to make sure it's a good fit but some more direct marketing and price competition would be nice to see.

### "Tunnel Bear Review"

April 5, 2022

5.0

Pleased with this VPN service. Definitely recommend for users unfamiliar with VPNs.

Pros

Very user friendly. UI and UX are well thought out and implemented. Simply register an account and you're on your way. There is a free account which you can use to test it out and check out all the features. They conduct annual security audits. Cost efficient.

Cons

VPN connection tends to lag sometimes, even when set to the closest location.

### "Very effective VPN program!"

February 4, 2020

4.0

During the internet blackout in Turkey, Tunnelbear provided free demo to all Turkish users. Very classy act!

Pros

Easy to use, no boundry. Just surf the internet whichever way you choose. You can choose which country's proxy you want to use.

Cons

Maybe it is the free trial, everytime i open the app, pop ups fill everywhere. so annoying but i can live with that.

### "Go to VPN client"

December 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

The service is freemium model where we can get to try if it meets the requirements and then decide on going for business version. The security offered is top notch AES-256 and also the connection can be choosen as per the need to be either in USA or many major countries in world.

Cons

The data limit for users is too low 500MB per month; also the prices appear high when compared to other decent VPN software

### "I used Tunnel Bear as a secure way to surf the Internet."

May 1, 2018

2.0

Pros

I tried Tunnel Bear when I was deciding on a new VPN service after I stopped using my old one. It had good reviews and was one of the top 10 I decided to try.

Cons

Out of all the VPNs I tried I had the most technical issues with Tunnel Bear, so I ended going with a different company as it was also one of the more expensive ones.

### "Very easy to use VPN, works perfect."

October 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I've been using different VPN's throughout the years and must say TunnelBear is the best one. It's very easy to install and has a free package of 500mb each day. When installed you can choose different countries to mask your IP address.

Cons

Only thing I could think of is that it is not free to use, but it is worth every penny.

### "A good introduction to online protection"

September 18, 2019

4.0

It was my introduction to VPN software and was not a disappointment.

Pros

Tunnel Bear has a very unique and awesome UI. It feels very millennial, and is super easy to use. Not sure if this is still a feature, but you could get 1GB a month on VPN just by sharing a tweet.

Cons

There are other free VPN apps and softwares such as OperaVPN that offer the same use without the monthly costs.

### "TUNNELBEAR"

February 5, 2021

3.0

It was ok, I could check some stuff but not everything I wanted.

Pros

Website is very nice and well created. I also like that you have a free trial to test the service before.

Cons

I did not have a good navigation. I could not navigate on many websites I was trying to access. Plus the price is very expensive if you convert dollar in real.

### "A Good VPN for Light Usage"

January 31, 2020

4.0

I mainly use tunnelbear for accessing some movies and shows online from different regions. The free version only allows 500 mb a month, but for a very lenient user like me it gets the job done.

Pros

1\. Simple to Setup and Use 2. Free to Use Version is good enough for light usage 3. Works across multiple platforms - windows, mac, android, iOS 4. It doesn't save your activities

Cons

1\. Netflix from other regions cannot be accessed via TunnelBear 2. Limited country support. 3. The speed of my internet sometimes reduced to a large extent which was not nice.

### "Makes me feel safe and protected"

October 6, 2019

5.0

Overall, I had a positive experience with TunnelBear and would recommend it.

Pros

It was an easy to use software. Additionally, I thought the animated bear is a great addition to the software.

Cons

I cannot currently think of what I dislike about the software. However, I think one would be that it costs money to buy a TunnelBear plan.

### "Such a FUN VPN!"

November 14, 2019

5.0

It really helped me with Facebook Ads when I was traveling to different countries as FB is understandably stricter with someone coming in from another country and using your credit card to pay for ads.

Pros

I really love how fun it was. It had funny quips, very cute illustrations and was very, very easy to use. Plus, it covered all the countries that I wanted to use—Singapore, US, Australia and South Korea. The interface was intuitive and using it always put a smile on my face. Note that I didn't really use this for streaming video, so I can't comment about my experience on that.

Cons

Nothing, I really loved this software, it was a delight to use and I have no complaints. It's a solid VPN for the price.

Jumping the censorship, being able to stay informed by the webpages my government block, and accessing apps that only work in the US.

Pros

Cons

Connection is slow here and goes way slower when I navigate with tunnelbear, besides that there are no other cons for me

Best VPN

Pros

TunnelBear is the most convenient and powerful I ever used. Besides of a long list of countries you can to choose from to browse secure in public places, it has an intuitive interface and great features like emulation of real we traffic. Simply awesome! :)

Pros

You can torrent with this software! Has a nifty kill switch to cut connections if needed, doesn't leak, and there's a free version to test before you buy!

It can be a little slow at times, but that's to be expected with any VPN. Not enough to warrant any bigger complains at this time!
