Reliable VPN alternativeWith the rise of the internet, it is not surprising that VPNs are growing in popularity. Nowadays, more and more security apps are being released, offering various features that aim to protect your digital data. TunnelBear is among those. It is a high-speed VPN that operates servers in more than 20 locations. It offers some of the best security features today, including high-end encryption and an automatic kill switch. This software comes with a limited free and two premium subscriptions. VPNs security TunnelBear high-speedVPNhigh-end encryptionautomatic kill switchfree premium VPN for novicesTunnelBear aims to make VPN usage easy for everyone. And looking at its interface, they’ve certainly done that. The app is sleek and subtle, built around a central map of the world, displaying the company’s server locations. To connect to any of the servers, you only need to choose one from the menu above, switch the protection button.VPN easy sleek and subtleTunnelBear didn’t have many servers to choose from. It only has 22 server locations. Also, it doesn’t have a location search box and lacks a list of servers with some basic information, such as load and ping time.22 server locationslacks However, should you find a server that you trust, you can configure the app setting to connect or disconnect to that server automatically. Don’t worry about changing the server, as doing so is also simple. All you need to do is click on the location you want to tunnel to on the map, and the app will do the rest.configure click on the locationAmong the popular VPNs today, TunnelBear is one of the easiest to use. It is recommended for beginners. A word of warning, though, installing the app takes ages to complete. More so, it does not work on devices running an older operating system.beginnersSmart advanced featuresWhile TunnelBear comes with limited servers, it does include some advanced features. Among those is the Trusted Networks, which is basically a whitelist of Wi-Fi networks that you trust. Another important feature is the Vigilant mode, which prevents data from slipping through your internet connection when your device gets disconnected.Trusted NetworksVigilant modeThere is also the GhostBear function, which avoids VPN blocking by disguising VPN traffics as normal HTTPS traffic. However, you should use this function sparingly as it reduces the app’s performance.GhostBear disguising VPN trafficsStrong security, lackluster speedAs mentioned, TunnelBear offers both free and premium subscriptions. However, the free version is only limited to 500 MB of bandwidth per month. To get unlimited data and enjoy other features, like multiple simultaneous connections, you need to pay for either the monthly or annual subscription. The annual subscription is advisable as it offers the overall best deal. It is also heavily discounted.500 MB monthlyannual subscriptionTunnelBear uses the industry standard, OpenVPN protocol, and the 256-bit AES encryption to ensure your privacy while you surf online. With this, all the digital data you have are safe from snoopers. Additionally, the app has a strict no-logging policy and is leak-free for your peace of mind.OpenVPN protocol256-bit AES encryptionno-loggingleak-freeHowever, while the app uses stronger encryption and higher security protocols, it lags when it comes to speed. Sure, it is not the worst. But they’re bad when you put it against reliable VPNs, like NordVPN and ExpressVPN. The app also cannot bypass geo-restrictions from streaming sites.lags NordVPN ExpressVPNcannot bypass geo-restrictionsstreamingProtect your privacyTunnelBear is a great choice if you just want something to protect your privacy while you browse. The app provides one of the strongest digital protection without complicated options and interfaces. You might suffer a bit on the speed site, and there is a limited choice of servers available. The bottom line, there is no disputing that it is very easy to use and provides solid security. However, due to its lackluster speed, this app cannot be a recommended go-to app for everyone.strongest digital protectionlimited solid securitylackluster speed
