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
