TunnelBear - Reviews and experiences

Overall, this VPN just works and it's stupidly simple to use. I first found it because a buddy at work recommended it years ago, and I've stuck with it ever since. Setup took two clicks — pick a country or hit "Fastest" and you're done. I've mostly left it on Fastest and never had a dropout. Sometimes sites think I'm in a different place when I log into work stuff, which is kind of the point, so no complaints. Glad I tried it; it's been reliable and low-fuss. and affordable.

blocks the obvious trackers and keeps my work laptop a bit safer on public Wi-Fi. Still, the unpredictability creates a false sense of security — I can’t rely on it completely. I might give them another shot if stability improves, but for now I’m not renewing. Useful, but not dependable, and that makes the choice easier for me.

This VPN is just awful, eh? It disconnects whenever it feels like it, can't even get you on basic websites, and keeps needing to be reset. It's a real pain and a total waste of cash, so do yourself a favor and try a different VPN, eh?

I'm pretty happy with the VPN service overall, it's been giving me good speeds for my needs when I'm going from the UK to the US. But, I've noticed a problem where it keeps disconnecting after about 3 hours, which is super annoying, especially when I'm right in the middle of watching a movie. Despite that issue, the VPN does what I need it to do and works well for my online stuff. I think some of the bad reviews might be more about outside factors rather than how the service actually performs.
