The service is inexpensive and with applications available across multiple platforms including browser extensions TunnelBear makes it easy to ensure you're protected and have VPN access wherever you are. The interface is intuitive and for those who don't know much about VPNs the settings have helpful descriptions for the more complex features. The animations and design of the interface is charming and a welcome change from the dull app interfaces out there. TunnelBear is fast and realiable, easily one of the best VPNs on the market. > > **Cons**: I have not experienced any real issues with the service or it's apps in all the time I've been using TunnelBear, and I've been using it for a long time. > > TunnelBear offers an easy to use, secure and consistent VPN service with apps across all the platforms I use at a competitive price. ----- ### "TunnelBear" — 4.0/5 > **Osarumwense** | *May 26, 2021* | Motion Pictures & Film | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is brilliantly designed to meet our everyday needs. It is secure and have your device protected; no need to worry about your data being stolen. The fact that TunnelBear is fun, and offers free 500mb every month is probably the most attractive thing about it. It is very unlikely to find a VPN solution that offers free service, and still be fun to use. No other VPN solutions like TunnelBear; with its free trial, you can check it out if you like the product. Its simplicity makes it fun to use by inexperienced users. TunnelBear supports split tunneling on android devices. It can also be use as a secure torrent network. > > **Cons**: What i like least about this software is how slow the internet connection could be sometimes, most especially after disconnected and trying to reconnect. This should be looked into. It is not a great fit for streaming as the data zaps quickly. Relatively few servers. More servers should be added. > > Overall, TunnelBear, with its intuitive UI has done a great job simplifying VPNs for a novice like me, in my business. ----- ### "TunnelBear enables a secure and high-performance connection" — 3.0/5 > **Claudia** | *May 31, 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like TunnelBear because it offers completely free browsing data and has a large number of countries. Its user interface is interactive and lively, making it easy to connect to the VPN. I also like that it has desktop apps and also mobile apps. Also, it has very good security protocols like IKEv2 and IPSec. > > **Cons**: The only thing that disgusts me is that it does not have different options of cities per country, it is only possible to change the country. > > TunnelBear allows us to connect to public networks from our corporate laptops and cell phones, thanks to the fact that it has desktop applications and mobile applications for all platforms. With this software we managed to encrypt the connection through the IKEv2 protocol and we can navigate at high speed and without restrictions. ----- ### "TunnelBear review" — 4.0/5 > **Emmanuella** | *March 17, 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the easy to use interface, the quick and efficient connection speed, and the ability to customize settings to suit my needs. TunnelBear also offers a generous free plan with 500MB of data per month, which I found to be very helpful. The customer support team was also friendly and helpful in answering my questions. Overall, TunnelBear provided a great service at a very reasonable price. > > **Cons**: The least thing I like about TunnelBear is that it can be slow at times. This can cause a decrease in page loading speeds and can be quite annoying. ----- ### "Easiest VPN service" — 5.0/5 > **Ernesto Enrique** | *December 28, 2018* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about this service is that it is very easy to use. One click and ready to navigate. The interface is another point that I would like to highlight because other services can be very easy too but they do not have an interface as polished as TunnelBear has it. It's gamified and I like the drawing of the bear very much. For the free version you have 500mb of navigation that you can increase by an additional 1GB if you make a tweet, very good. > > **Cons**: If we talk about cons, TunnelBear is very well done, however I would like to expand the number of servers that can be connected. > > In general TunnelBear is an excellent opportunity for a fast, simple VPN service that has a very good free plan. Additionally, it improves the user experience with its extension for the browser. ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/123063/tunnelbear?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/123063/tunnelbear) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
