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).

Recent reviews

Use to be great, now it doesn't mask my location especially the US region barely works.
