Pros / Cons
  • With software its good to test drive it and Tunnelbear offers a free plan but the amount of data that you get with it is quite small (2GB a month) compared to other products like Windscribe (10GB a month).
  • I only dislike that TunnelBear has limited server locations on free version compared to alternatives such as Hotspot Shield.

  • I love this VPN, I'm only using the free version which has only 3 countries but it works perfectly, it's fast and reliable
  • The free plan comes with limitations on server selection and speed, which may not suit heavy users.
