Generally a good little VPN. Would occasionally require a full uninstall & reinstall if it stopped working properly, but no biggy. Unfortunately, however, the latest update means you can no longer pick a location on the free version, rendering it all but useless. What a shame. Let's hope they change their decision in the near future, as I won't be returning otherwise.

Rawr! 🐻🐾 Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’re really glad to hear that the VPN generally worked well for you, even if it sometimes needed a full uninstall and reinstall to get things running smoothly again.

Tunnel bear no longer lets you choose location. I use less that 2GB a month for work related things so I used the free version of tunnel bear. it was easily the best. this latest update has brought a change that no longer allows you to switch location of the free version. it just connects you to the closest, which guess what, that's the country I'm already in. It's just not plausible for me to pick up a paid copy of any VPN for the little amount that I use it. Uninstalled.

Rawr! 🐻🐾 We’re really sorry this change has made TunnelBear no longer fit your needs. Free users can now only use the Fastest tunnel, and country selection is part of paid plans. We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. Our support bears are here at tunnelbear.com/support.

Was a good app, with a generous data allowance and good speed, but after the new update was rolled out, the split feature and the country selection is now paid. I relied on that country selection to access content, but now I cannot use the app. The split feature I also used, which again - is now unuseable without giving them £8 a month... Won't be using this app again.

Rawr! 🐻🐾 We understand this change is tough. Country selection and split tunneling are now part of paid plans so we can keep TunnelBear strong and still offer a free option. Free users connect via Fastest tunnel—always ad-free, no tracking, and never selling your data.
