Question 1

Is TunnelBear free?

Accepted Answer

TunnelBear has a free plan, but it’s not very good. You only get 2 GB per month, which is only enough to browse the internet for a few hours. But TunnelBear’s free plan is decent if you just want to test out the VPN — it gives you access to all of the features of the premium plans. TunnelBear’s free plan lets you connect unlimited devices and allows you to connect to a server in all of TunnelBear’s 45+ countries.

I usually don’t recommend that you use a free VPN because many of them aren’t safe, may keep logs of your online traffic and files you download, set a limit on your data, and have slow speeds. But if you’re looking for the best free VPN, I recommend Proton VPN, which allows unlimited data and bandwidth and maintains good speeds.

Question 2

Does TunnelBear work in China?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TunnelBear is able to bypass the Great Firewall and overcome heavy internet censorship in other restrictive countries like Iran. TunnelBear’s obfuscation tool (GhostBear) is very good at masking your VPN connection, making it seem as if you’re browsing the internet without a VPN.

Question 3

What is GhostBear in TunnelBear?

Accepted Answer

GhostBear is TunnelBear’s name for its obfuscation feature. Obfuscation is a tool that makes your traffic look more regular and helps you get around internet censorship in restrictive countries like China and Russia.

Plus, GhostBear doesn’t slow down your speeds too much, and it’s really simple to use — all you have to do is toggle the switch in the settings menu.

Question 4

What is VigilantBear in TunnelBear’s app?

Accepted Answer

TunnelBear allows unlimited simultaneous connections, including on its free plan, so you can install it and use it on as many devices as you want. This makes TunnelBear a great pick if you live in a large household or if you often travel with a lot of family members. When I tested it, I had my entire family connect to 11 devices in total, and TunnelBear maintained stable connections on all devices at once.

Question 5

Is TunnelBear good for streaming?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TunnelBear has decent streaming support. It has good speeds for streaming, and it works with streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. The only popular sites it can’t access are Disney+ and ESPN+. The good news is it also works with less popular apps and websites like Pluto TV.
