About:
TunnelBear is a consumer VPN client that encrypts your internet connection to protect your privacy on public Wi-Fi and at home. It provides a simple interface for selecting virtual locations to bypass geo-restrictions and maintain anonymity online. The service includes features like VigilantBear (a kill switch) and GhostBear to disguise VPN traffic.
Key Features:
  • One-click connection with a simple, animated user interface
  • VigilantBear kill switch to prevent IP leaks if the VPN disconnects
  • GhostBear mode to make VPN traffic less detectable on restrictive networks
  • Access to servers in over 45 countries worldwide
Use Cases:
  • Securing your connection on public Wi-Fi hotspots at cafes, airports, and hotels
  • Bypassing geographic restrictions to access region-locked content
  • Preventing ISP tracking and maintaining online privacy
Alternatives:
  • ProtonVPN – Focuses on privacy with a strict no-logs policy and offers a robust free tier
  • Mullvad – Privacy-centric service with anonymous account numbers and a focus on advanced security
  • OpenVPN – Open-source protocol that can be configured for maximum control, but lacks a dedicated GUI client
