TunnelBear’s free account isn’t as appealing as it used to be, as 500MB a month doesn’t compare well to Windscribe’s free 10GB or ProtonVPN’s unlimited free tier. TunnelBear also has an endearing ursine mascot, reasonably priced paid-for subscriptions, and recently changed its no-torrenting policy. While it used to feel very generous, that free allowance is overshadowed by rivals such as Windscribe and ProtonVPN’s free services. The Canada-based service is perhaps best known for its free VPN, which gives you 500MB of data every month to use as you please via any endpoint location. TunnelBear has been owned by US security firm McAfee since 2018 and little has changed in that time. Endpoints for 49 different countries: TunnelBear VPN has an astonishing number of endpoints, even with the free tier, which is useful if you want to use a server in a specific location.Free tier available: TunnelBear VPN has a free tier that gives users 500MB of secure browsing every month.If TB worked, it would be one of the best utilities of its kind, but as it is unusable (for me), I can only give it a half-star for effortless installation.

Un-clicking TCP override or changing other of the minimal options had no effect on this problem. Then I started having infuriating problems with connection stability, disconnecting and reconnecting on average every five minutes and showing notices that it was having trouble creating secure tunnels. Once I had a paid subscription, TB first refused to download bit torrents until I discovered this could be overcome by activating the TCP override option. I was impressed by the simplicity of the interface, appreciated the wit, and was pleased by the wide selection of servers in many countries. I tested it under the free 500MB trial after 2 years using BTGuard. To the developer of Tunnel Bear, I am asking for a refund of the year's subscription I purchased a week ago.
