tunnel bear is by far my favourite VPN because it is so reliable, Lightning fast (in Australia) and easy to use. The only problem with is that it is to expensive to commit to over its competitors such as nord VPN etc. Even though it has a free version, that is not enough for a month so if it was made a little bit more affordable I would definitely commit to it over its competitors. Also I would like to ask why people think it doesn’t work with Netflix and other streaming services because it works perfectly for me.

Great VPN
nozune
First when I saw this on the App Store, I was like another one of those “free VPNs” again? but then I read some of the reviews and decided to download and test it out. Then I googled that if this vpn actually hides your ip and it resulted that this vpn creates a new ip which isn’t your actual IP address and I decided to put that to the test by doing a google search of what is my ip with and without the vpn. And with the vpn, it actually creates a new IP address and with that ip I did an ip lookup and it wasn’t the same location without the vpn
Auto connecting unreliable

TunnelBear offers at least 50/20 speeds in Australia, can’t speak for high speeds or elsewhere. Great, user friendly interface. Wish more tech firms were so relatable & approachable instead of using meaningless tech jargon.Only thing that could be improved is the service’s automatic engagement of VPN when connecting through untrusted connections.

I noticed my app icon had gone monochrome and was concerned something had gone wrong. I checked if connected, checked it seemed to be working, gave up, came back next day to worry a bit more, then thought maybe there was a critical update I had not applied. Checked updates and received a BLM message. Still no explanation about why my icon was monochrome and no apology from TB for my wasted time and worry. What next month? Maybe pink, maybe rainbow? If the app is to be used as a social media platform this should be clearly stated in its promotional material so potential users are warned. We are paying for a VPN not to be social justice campaign fodder.
