User Reviews

Users generally praised TunnelBear for being easy to use and historically reliable, with many noting it helped access geo-restricted content by switching countries. However, a large number of reviews report major stability and usability issues after recent updates: the on/off toggle and disconnect feature often fail, users are frequently signed out and forced to re‑log in, and key features like international country switching have been removed or gated behind payment without warning. Connectivity remains inconsistent or slow, and support or refunds appear lacking. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong past performance but growing reliability and policy concerns today.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly interface
Historically reliable and functional over years
Helps access geo-restricted content by switching countries

Cons

On/off toggle and disconnect often fail after recent updates
Frequent sign-outs and mandatory re-logins
Removal of geo-switching feature and forced paid upgrades without warning
Connectivity is inconsistent or slow; frequent reliability issues
Poor customer support and lack of refunds/clarification

I’ve had a paid subscription for years. This year I’ve had nothing but problems. It continually drops the connection & sometimes I can’t connect at all. I won’t be renewing my subscription.
