You wouldn’t like it if someone else accessed your computer and was poking around inside your browsing history, so why are so many of us happy to share our activities when we go online? We don’t do it willingly, of course, but almost every website we visit tracks our behavior, while many ISPs are keeping an eye on things as well.Īnd yet, it’s so easy to put a stop to it. However, you may want to look elsewhere for advanced VPN features. It not only ensures that everything you do online is hidden from the websites you visit and even your internet service provider (ISP), but it’s fast, reliable, and easy to use. It does have a pretty strict data cap, but for those who need more, there are several affordable subscription options to choose from.Īnd in all likelihood, you’re going to want to pay to use TunnelBear if you can afford it. It’s one of the few that offers a truly free option to those who want to protect their privacy on a budget. 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.There are lots of VPNs that offer Mac support, but TunnelBear is unlike the majority of them. 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.
