User Reviews

Reviews are mixed: some praise TunnelBear for location masking and business privacy, with mentions of being the 'best VPN'. However, many reviews focus on paywalls removing free country access, frequent connectivity issues, post-update breakages, Chromebook/device compatibility problems, and regional restrictions. Overall, it works for some users when functioning, but reliability and access limitations drive widespread dissatisfaction.
Pros
  • Location masking via country connections (e.g., Australia) for privacy and business use.
  • Positive perception in some reviews as a high-quality VPN (e.g., 'best VPN', 'I love it').
  • Protection of user location for business use.
Cons
  • Paywall removal / free access to country servers, forcing subscription for country options.
  • Frequent connectivity issues: cannot connect, servers blocked or unresponsive.
  • Post-update regressions: features removed or broken connectivity after updates.
  • Device compatibility issues: reported as unusable on Chromebook.
  • Geographic restrictions and regional blocks (e.g., unusable in Russia).

Used to be a good app that had a good free mode and you can pay if you need more. Now it's extremely over monetized. Oh you can't pick your country of connection without premium now. 😒 I paid for it last time I needed it but I'm not now out of principle.
