Great VPN and Servers

I've used this to ensure cybersafety and bypass region blocks for the better part of a few years, it is excellent at this.

PROS

Free Data every month is a massive plus for when you need a reliable VPN quickly. In addition, sharing to social media accounts and referring friends gives you even more!

CONS

The VPN servers are usually great, however at certain times I notice a bit of slowdown.

it is good overall, but there are better alternatives.

I used TunnelBear for two years and finally decided to switch. Reasons: 1. unstable software 2. slow speed 3. narrow set of exit nodes per country 4. small list of countries - that making the service useless to tests. 5. somewhat high price compared to offered services. 6. this one is very subjective - rumors of keeping session data. Should not be true, as they did pass the security audit more than few times, though

PROS

It is somewhat cheap and selloffs are regular, just you wait a bit. Interface is nice and clean. It has apps for Android, iOS, MacOs, Windows. Developers found their own original mascot and style, they are doing there best to tell sort of a story about the bear, drawing different icons for trial and even having a special minification screen when you are about to cancel the service (trust me, I hesitated for a good week before I could transform bear to cub). They have a decent list of European countries, which is shortened during last days, but it is still acceptable. Network speed is not bad most of the time. They seems to pass independent security audit and this is very important characteristic.

CONS

Software stability is something developers need to work on, both in term of applications and servers. Application may start to eat the battery, network may completely disappear after vpn is switched off (very often on android). Too few exit nodes. If exit node is located in one of less popular countries the speed may be as slow as 56k rendering the service unusable. They lingered quite a while before deciding to stop cooperate with Russian that wanted them to share private data. There was some humors that wasn't quite dispelled that TunnelBear actually saving some session data.

Reason for choosing TunnelBear

4 years ago they seemed to have desired country set, their app looked very smart designed and easy to use and there was a huge selloff (yeah, right)
