TunnelBear

Avantages

It is very easy to install and start using it, it is good for example for when you need to work with an application that you cannot use in a specific country, Tunnelbear allows you to change your IP address so that it seems that you are in another country and you can use the application without leaving the country in which you are.

Inconvénients

You have to remember to unplug or turn off Tunnelbear because if you leave it on it will keep your IP as if you were in another country and it will affect the rest of your applications. you should turn it on only when you need to change your country IP and then turn it off when you finish using it so that it does not affect the operation of the rest of the applications.

Avantages

It's super easy to use. I care about security and go a little ham over it, and I find myself trusting Tunnelbear. There's no logging, which is always awesome and hard to find for the price. Its free plan also does the job.

Inconvénients

It can get pretty slow at times, but for daily browsing it works. Streaming gets hard and I need to turn it off to use Netflix.

Avantages

Tiene funcion de utilizarlo de manera gratuita y la conexion es estable y realmente se conecta al servidor en mención

Inconvénients

El precio es un poco elevado pero se podria solucionar, aumentar mas servidores ayudaria un monton a que esta marca sea reconocida y usada.

Avantages

This is the easiest most user friendly VPN which I have ever used. And I've used a lot. I really like that it is fool prof, works fast, you can try it for free and does what it is supposed to do.

Inconvénients

I would've like to have the chance of choosing different servers on a specific location. Other than that there is nothing more I would add

Avantages

I'm not a VPN expert and TunnelBear does a great job at making the experience as seamless as possible. I've tried several other software in the past and I was never able to figure it out. With TunnelBear, I am able to stream videos from anywhere in the world without the worry of having to figure it out. Their paid version is also pretty affordable.

Inconvénients

Their free version is extremely limited! Other than that, there's nothing I dislike about TunnelBear. It is easy to use and I have never had any issues with it.

Avantages

It's easy to use and it does what it's supposed to do fast. Good VPN service.

Inconvénients

There is only one drawback to it and that's that when you are using the free version, you get 500mbs per month and they go by fast cause it's easy to forget the app turned on.

Avantages

What I like the most is its cost, it is very easy to use and the security it offers in its service, it guarantees all its functionalities, it is very fast at the time of using it, and it does not present disconnection faults, besides that it has a free package 500 mb which allows a future user to test the functionalities of the product before acquiring the complete package.

Inconvénients

For being an extension this software in the case of google chrome if you have other types of software can affect in some cases the change of VPN, however they are in very specific cases the rest work properly according to the needs of user or organization, It is of quality and high guarantee.

Avantages

It has a very simple interface when changing your IP address has a high range of countries to which You can access without any problem and navigate in a fast and safe way.

Inconvénients

Several times it is usually disconnected, to access all countries it is essential to have access to the internet.

Avantages

From the login experience to connectivity I love everything of this app. Never felt a little inconvenience with this software. Whenever someone asks me for recommendation about VPN, Tunnelbear is the first option I suggest.

Inconvénients

To be honest I couldn't find any issue that I could dislike about this software.

Avantages

TunnelBear is very easy to set up. There is a free option that I started with and then moved up to the paid version. Setting TunnelBear up is very simple as it is a browser extension.

Inconvénients

TunnelBear is based in Canada but owned by McAfee. This is not a major turn off but with any VPN it makes you wonder how safe it is. The answer to that is based on how safe your search history is.

Avantages

What I like most about TunnelBear is that it is secure and fast, and it allows one hide their cyber identify and footprint neatly.

Inconvénients

What I really don't like about TunnelBear is that the subscription plan is a bit high as compared to other VPNs. Aside this, it's a cool VPN to use.

Avantages

- - Consistent and reliable
- - Intuitive and modern interface
- - The bear animations add a welcome flare to the interface
- - Feature rich and robust
- - Fast (of course this depends on your connection but at least it won't bottle neck your connection)
- - Native applications across many platforms, including mobile and broswer extentions

Inconvénients

TunnelBear has been a reliable and consistent VPN solution for my needs for a while now. I have had no issues with the service.

Avantages

It's fun and easy to use, keeps my browsing private on any device. It helps me to be safe on unknown/unreliable/suspicious networks and it just works, even with a free plan!

Inconvénients

It's a little pricy if you're not used to using a VPN service, however, it makes up for it with amazing customer service... and a lot of bear puns.

Avantages

The dashboard is very easy-to-use and intuitive. Plus, the software has expanded the number of countries available for tunneling

Inconvénients

Sometimes the connection is lost, even when my wifi is stable

Avantages

This tool is excellent to connect from another ip, I travel a lot to many places in the world, I have visited China and other countries that have many blocked websites, I use VPN to connect and it works excellent.

Inconvénients

I think the only disadvantage is that they are public and Datacenter IPs, it would be perfect if they release a line of more exclusive IPs to increase security, and if these are residential IPs it would be perfect.

Avantages

Tried some VPN applications in the past (including Opera's built in), but TunnelBear is the best one I've used so far, thanks to it's ease of use. I'm using it on Mac and had a great experience, working as intended.

Inconvénients

Maybe the free plan could enable more traffic, but it isn't really a complain, since the service works flawlessly.

Avantages

It allows you to access internet content only available within countries, which is quite a balsam when your are away from home and wants to watch your favourite shows. It is user-friendly and has a cute interface. It is really powerful and incredibly straightforward to use.

Inconvénients

I believe the main problem is to do with reliability. The connection happens to stall every now and then. Besides that, it can reduce a bit of your connection speed.

Avantages

Tunnel Bear is a secure virtual private network. This secure VPN is being used on different devices like I am using on mobile phone and on my laptop. It is an anti-spam application and safe our devices from bugs. The best thing about it we are provided many locations to connect with them. I have been using it for a long time for watching videos, reading blogs and rest of the other informative sites which doesn't allow me to open from my original IP. It has proved that this is the best vpn I have ever used.

Inconvénients

It is an easy to use software comparatively to other. Just one issue which I have to come across with is, its being disconnect some of the time which irritate but it doesn't happen most of the times. I just want to get rid of this problem. Some more of the words for special thing, I am a supporter of its customer service team which is really great.

Avantages

Pleasing looks and clean UI. Very easy to use as well

Inconvénients

Could use a few more locations but that will likely come with time.

Avantages

It really works, it gives you access to pages not available from your location, it's very easy to install, use and does not slow down the connection. Its interface is beautiful and has a wide network of servers, can be used in multiple devices and is economical.

Inconvénients

The free version is very limited, it does not have chat support, it does not support the sharing of P2P files and it does not have any business features either.

Avantages

It does what it says. TunnelBear does really provide IPs of anywhere you want. I wanted Ips from multiple places and it provided from US, UK, Australia, China and many more places.

Inconvénients

The functionality isn't very user-friendly. Once you select an IP, you can not just jump to the next one easily, you have to refresh the page every time and wait, which breaks the momentum of the work.

Avantages

I like the large amount of MB available with the free package, the connection is good, it's fast and secure. It works fine from any device, including the Google extension. It is one of the best VPNs on the market.

Inconvénients

In my opinion it is a VPN with very few weak points, but I think that if I could improve the connection speed during the first few minutes, it takes a while for the connection to connect.

Avantages

- Easy to use. You can download, create account and you are ready to go
- A lot of countries to select from
- Very, very good user interface
- Plugin for Chrome. You can use VPN only for browser
- Desktop apps for major platforms
- You have free 500mb per month, also you can tweet and get additional 1gb of traffic
- Speed. It's very fast VPN. It's enough even for video calls
- Price. Paid account is very reasonably priced

Inconvénients

- Crashes. Sometimes desktop app crashed on MacOS X
- Megabytes summ on Free account sometimes is not updated correctly

Avantages

Easy to use. You can install on both your desktop and mobile device with one purchase. Great, secure.

Inconvénients

There isn't anything to complain about here! The support of TunnelBear is also great. They were quick to respond when I had a question.

Avantages

I like that Tunnelbear gives me the ability to browse the web more securely and safely.
It has a free trial that they upgrade via multiple options like tweeting and inviting more friends.

Inconvénients

I do not like that even for the paid version they just offer few servers.

Avantages

What I like the most about this VPN is the free trial option that doesn't expire and also gives you free 500mb for sharing it on your social media page. Aside enjoying the free data it gives you, the amount to purchase it fully is relatively less as compared to other VPN's that give quality service as TunnelBear does.

Inconvénients

What is dislike though and I hop is corrected is how slow it automatically connects back after it looses connection. At time it shows on your notification bar as though it is connecting automatically but it wont till you have to go back to the software and connect it manually. Also the connection is quite slow and can be improved upon. The locations are quite less and limited in the free mode.

Avantages

- Very easy to set up: You can use the Google Chrome extension, Windows, Mac, Android or iOS apps. Also, it provides very simple steps to set it up on some Linux distros.
- Gives a monthly free quota.
- Prices are more than reasonable.
- Many different locations to connect to.

Inconvénients

- No Linux client (even though, the steps for setting it on ubuntu are very simple). Not much wrong other than that, it does what it does, clean and fast.

Avantages

The ease of use is amazing. All my family has TunnelBear on their laptops and phones.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the chrome extension doesn't work.

Avantages

Fast and reliable connection , Contains servers many countries which are not usually given by other providers such as India.

Inconvénients

Some times the mobile app can lag, other than that TunnelBear provides a good service.

Avantages

The VPN uses the strongest standard OpenVPN protocol on the market, as well as 256-bit AES encryption, which makes it one of the safest.

You do not need to register, it has free plans.

Inconvénients

Although it is good to have a free version, it is limited to a bandwidth of 500 MB / month, it also lacks more geographical diversity.

Avantages

TunnelBear is extremely easy to set up on computers, phones, and tablets. We had all our devices set up with the program in about 10 minutes. It's super easy to turn off and turn on.

Inconvénients

Sometimes we forget to turn off the program and it causes problems with our social media accounts thinking that we are being hacked. After a couple of times we started to remember this.

Avantages

Relatively inexpensive, easy to use, nice UI, and apps for MacOS, iOS and more. TunnelBear is a great tool.

Inconvénients

Occasionally the software will lose connection during a VPN session but it lets you know when this happens, and usually reconnects in seconds. I suppose this would be a concern if you were doing nefarious things while using your VPN, but it's not a concern for me.

Avantages

Tunnelbear allows me to place myself in various countries. This is extremely useful when developing websites that are dependent on the location of users. Set up is super easy to install and get running.

Inconvénients

I have no cons about Tunnelbear, it's a cheap, simple solution for a small web developer!

Avantages

TunnelBear VPN is simple and easy to use. It allows for Auto connect to WiFi or Mobile network and have more than 30 servers worldwide

Inconvénients

There is nothing about this software that I dislike

Avantages

TunnelBear does everything I need a VPN to do and its simple enough to use that I can safely recommend it to anyone. I'm half embarassed to say that the bear jokes make me kind of happy. That instead of something like "Your VPN is now on" it says "Rawr! Browsing from a secure tunnel in [country]"

Inconvénients

This wasn't a problem for me, but I've seen other VPNs with more countries as options. Some even have specific cities. TunnelBear doesn't have this, but I've never needed it.

Avantages

TunnelBear is extremely easy to use. I could not believe that you only decide where do you want to connect and done! As I said: Just excellent

Inconvénients

If you want more than just selecting the country and connect, this is probably not your software

Avantages

TunelBear is a great, easy to use VPN that anyone could pick up and start using. The interface looks great, the functionality is all there, I have zero complaints with TunnelBear.

Inconvénients

TunnelBear is priced a little higher than the alternatives. They also offer frequent discounts and sales that I have never seen with TunnelBear.

Avantages

We have been using this VPN for quite some time and It worked great with a good balance between features and monthly cost, even the UI was fun to watch.

Inconvénients

After the acquisition from McAfee, we felt the security was compromised as all the traffic wasn't encrypted and secured but it actually may have been stored. As the company that used to be in Toronto now has to comply to US security and privacy requirements means no information is really private in their servers.

Avantages

I like to use tunnelbear mostly, i think it is one of the best connection secure application. It is safe, fast and i use it without any problem of loosing the connection.

Inconvénients

I like the quality of tunnelbear, everything is ok but only one thing that is the price, it is a bit expensive for a software like this.

Avantages

First, the financial side. The prices on TunnelBear are some of the best available. In addition, they give you free time. Secondly, it is extremely secure and is very user friendly. Also, their customer service is excellent.

Inconvénients

I would like for the font to be a little larger.

Avantages

The product works really well, and works all time. I can switch browsing from one country to another within a few seconds and it always worked for me. I never had a downtime or anything like it. I really loved the animation of the bear going in the tunnel from one country to another and it really did that amazing job. I also liked they sometimes makes offer to get some free MBs to surf.

Inconvénients

Maybe the price for personal use is not affordable to everyone that I know, but overall sometimes there are offers to get some free MBs or GBs even!

Avantages

I signed up and i was given free 500 mb. You can use it on many devices provided that you dont exceed the free limit else you'll be prompt to upgrade. I also completed few task and i was rewarded with another 500mb free. It provides kill switch feature and provides extention for lots of browsers

Inconvénients

It has limited support for many countries. They don't even have any server in the whole of Africa. It has slow servers compared to ExpressVPN.

Avantages

Using Tunnel bear on all my devices (Phone, Tablet, Computer) works seamlessly

Inconvénients

Not always obvious to what city I am connected to. Connects to "a country" but cannot select my city. However using the "fastest" connection I assume it is n a nearby city

Avantages

Great UX and the easy of use is really impressive. When using on iPhone it's really nice they suggest you to turn on TunnelBear when you are about to connect to a very insecure network

Inconvénients

Literally nothing. The company is always very open even about the third party security companies do about them.

Alternatives envisagées 

Pourquoi passer à TunnelBear

Avantages

TunnelBear is free and very easy to use. Moreover, it is user friendly and it's also available on mobile devices, which is very convenient for me. Furthermore, the VPN protects me by hiding my IP address, which also protects me from becoming a victim of a cyber attack. Therefore, I feel safer because I know that unauthorized persons will not gain access to my personal or company-related information on my devices.

Inconvénients

The servers are very slow which cause web pages to take a longer time to load. Furthermore, when I use TunnelBear on my phone, it automatically disconnects from the server, which caused me to reopen the app several times to reconnect. This is very frustrating.

Avantages

I have experienced more VPN Softwares & TunnelBear is remarkable. It is simple and delightful to watch during the initial animation of the connection process. It always provides some free amount of data every month & it is really useful. Tunnelbear provided the most stable & uninterrupted connection and also internet speed also not too bad.

Inconvénients

The connection wise, I don't have any bad impressions. Sometimes the locations are limited and provided free data bundles are not enough to browse videos and heavy searches. Pricing also little bit high when compares to other market available VPN services.

Avantages

The UI is nice, the connection is stable with multiple options. It has a kill switch which is very important for VPN services.

Inconvénients

It comes with a cost which makes it hard to use for freelancing when you are a student.

Avantages

TunnelBear is an nice VPN software that makes the process simple compared to other tools, being a nice offering for those who are less knowledgeable around computers but still want additional privacy.

There is a nice dedication to details in the interface that makes the experience more friendly, which is nice as it is easy to navigate as well.

A membership allows to five devices to be connected, and is compatible with both computers and mobile phones.

Inconvénients

The only aspect I dislike of this software is the uninstaller. While I understand it is a joke, being shared with the updating process, it feels like they intentionally shame you for doing it as an attempt to keep the software.

Be aware that the free plan is mostly for testing purposes, as it has a transfer limitation of 500mb, which can be increased by sharing a tweet.

Avantages

Tunnelbear replaced for me SwissVPN because it provides a free service for up to 500 MB per month with a large variety of locations. For irregular use it is sufficient and it spares you 10 USD/mo. Locations include Switzerland which is not very frequent among VPNs. The free version offers a quick connection; slow (up to unusable) connections are a problem with many other free VPNs.

Inconvénients

It does not offer VPN to Belgium but VPNs that connect to Belgium are very rare

Avantages

I love the Windows Application, this is so easy to use that a 10 years old child could do it. Just pick up the desired location/country and the "Bear" tunnels you there in a matter of seconds. I've been using the free version though, but I am considering paying for a month. Using it to unlock Netflix and it does the job

Inconvénients

I'd like to see other options and not only the 1 year plan, nevertheless it's better than NordVPN that forces you to get 2 years at pretty much the same cost. I wonder how much would a 2 year plan cost in TunnelBear
