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
  • Positive overall user sentiment / loyalty
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

This is weird. So I updated my info since renewal on yearly Grizzly account is due in 2 weeks and shortly after updated info was provided it doesn’t work anymore?! No connection no matter what ?! Really?! I don’t see how this would be connected but it is strange that within minutes of updating info everything stops working! Renewal? I don’t think so!
