In fact, another nice touch in TunnelBear’s service is the reassurance it provides by annually publishing independent security audits of its apps. Promoting unlimited bandwidth (for its paid users), no throttling, no buffering, and servers in 23 different countries, TunnelBear does what users expect it to – it keeps users’ browsing and location information private. The company will also award one gigabyte of additional data to users who tweet about the service, which can be used on up to 5 devices. Yet TunnelBear’s iPad and Android tablet apps (a nice touch, rather than just phone-ports) give away its game: The company’s VPN service doesn’t really meet the demands of desktop usage, despite the fact that it’s got plugins for the Chrome, Firefox, and Opera web browsers.īut for mobile data privacy in a pinch, Tunnelbear is worth keeping tucked away in one of your mobile device’s folders, if only because it will let users protect 500 megabytes of data for free.

Cute and colorful, TunnelBear’s apps may be easy on the eyes, but they are essentially just giant on/off switches overlaid on global maps of its servers.

A very simple, aesthetically pleasing VPN, TunnelBear operates on a range of desktop computers and mobile devices, with MacOS, Windows, Android, and iOS apps to keep users’ data protected.
