What is TunnelBear?

TunnelBear is a VPN service for browsing the web privately and securely. It describes itself as a "really simple VPN" and also lets users reach websites that are blocked in their region.

It has apps for Mac, PC, iOS and Android, plus a Chrome extension, so one service can cover desktop computers, phones and the browser.

TunnelBear suits people who want an easy VPN for everyday privacy or for opening sites blocked where they live. The pages we received don't give details on pricing, server locations or protocols, so check the official site for those.
