It seems that TunnelBear doesn't limit free users to particular servers, or throttle their speeds the only restriction is a monthly traffic allowance of 500MB. Performance was good, too, at least in our initial tests.

If the VPN connection is lost, for instance, this doesn't mean your privacy is exposed rather, TunnelBear's 'Vigilant Mode' automatically blocks unsecured traffic until the program can reconnect. Within a few seconds TunnelBear connects to a VPN server and is ready to use, no further configuration required.įor all this simplicity, there is some real thought here. Choose a preferred country for your VPN (the choice is currently United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France and Japan) click the 'On' button, and wait. Using the program is straightforward, too. You need to create a TunnelBear account before you can use the program, but this is simple enough - just enter your name, email address and password - and it's all handled within the installer. TunnelBear is an easy-to-use cross-platform VPN program which can help you quickly create a secure, anonymous connection to the web, as well as blocking trackers and bypassing some web censorship.
