## Reviews

### "TunnelBear review" — 4.0/5

> **Emmanuella** | *17 March 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the easy to use interface, the quick and efficient connection speed, and the ability to customize settings to suit my needs. TunnelBear also offers a generous free plan with 500MB of data per month, which I found to be very helpful. The customer support team was also friendly and helpful in answering my questions. Overall, TunnelBear provided a great service at a very reasonable price.
> 
> **Cons**: The least thing I like about TunnelBear is that it can be slow at times. This can cause a decrease in page loading speeds and can be quite annoying.

### "Easiest VPN service" — 5.0/5

> **Ernesto Enrique** | *28 December 2018* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about this service is that it is very easy to use. One click and ready to navigate. The interface is another point that I would like to highlight because other services can be very easy too but they do not have an interface as polished as TunnelBear has it. It's gamified and I like the drawing of the bear very much. For the free version you have 500mb of navigation that you can increase by an additional 1GB if you make a tweet, very good.
> 
> **Cons**: If we talk about cons, TunnelBear is very well done, however I would like to expand the number of servers that can be connected.
> 
> In general TunnelBear is an excellent opportunity for a fast, simple VPN service that has a very good free plan. Additionally, it improves the user experience with its extension for the browser.

### "A VPN that used to be great but went downfall." — 2.0/5

> **Horacio** | *1 May 2019* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have been using this VPN for quite some time and It worked great with a good balance between features and monthly cost, even the UI was fun to watch.
> 
> **Cons**: After the acquisition from McAfee, we felt the security was compromised as all the traffic wasn't encrypted and secured but it actually may have been stored. As the company that used to be in Toronto now has to comply to US security and privacy requirements means no information is really private in their servers.

### "TunnelBear is the most reliable, secure and easy-to-use VPN of 2021" — 5.0/5

> **Antonio** | *7 July 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like the most about TunnelBear is that it is a VPN with a very simple and intuitive interface that provides guaranteed security and protection. I would say that TunnelBear is the best VPN option for people who have no experience using technology precisely because of its simple and intuitive design.
> 
> **Cons**: What I don't like about TunnerBear and I think they can improve it is that it does not provide geolocation options by state or specific region.
> 
> Because to carry out my work I need to spend most of the time browsing the internet handling very sensitive financial and business information, TunnelBear represents for me an extremely useful tool when it comes to guaranteeing my anonymity and the security of all the information that I handle. In Internet.

### "Addressing the Needs of International Clients While Ensuring Security" — 5.0/5

> **Shayna** | *7 September 2019* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The internet has changed the face of producing content by expanding clientele from a local pool to an international one. Many clients need writers to be able to view sites and broadcasts as if they were local, but sometimes your IP address is a barrier. With TunnelBear I was able to toggle between my US IP address and an address local to my clients so I could stay abreast of local broadcasts. It was actually only after discovering TunnelBear for this purpose that I discovered it's full use as a VPN to protect privacy.
> 
> **Cons**: Toggling between my home IP address and an international one takes a little more time than simply surfing directly, but it's isn't too long and is as close to seamless as possible.
> 
> Overall, I was very pleased with TunnelBear. It did exactly what I needed to affordably, allowing me to work with international clients on their content from a U.S. IP address. I appreciated TunnelBear's candid FAQs which helped me to better understand what VPN was and what the benefits and considerations were for using it. While those projects have ended, I will definitely consider using TunnelBear in the future specifically for privacy and security purposes as I often work remotely over highly vulnerable public WiFi.
