Reviews for TunnelBear: Secure VPN & Wifi

T.E.B.H.

Was good, NERFED by a paywall in 2026

Recently, Tunnel Bear began to paywall basic features. Features like being able to connect to countries other than the one you presently live in. Most user of VPN services will note that that is one of the main features of a VPN, connectivity to other countries’ internet. Thats now paywalled, on top of limited data for free users (which I never had a problem with) And it’s a shame too. This app was incredibly intuitive and easy to use. But if you live in a large country, it’s now worthless because you can only connect to a select number of nearby hubs. So if you’re in Europe, maybe you can connect to a neighboring country, but in the US your options are a different US location, or sometimes Canada. So this app is now pointless.

Disappointing

Nice that it works on both iOS and PC, which wasn’t true for Nord or Express. However, TunnelBear drops out or fails to connect way too often. Unreliable.
