Big fan of the TunnelBear team and product (we work out of their old office here in Toronto). It's my VPN of choice. Congrats on the launch @ryandochuk and team! Looking forward to trying the new MacOS app.
@robjama Thanks Robleh for hunting our new app!
When TunnelBear got started five years ago, we really wanted to build a privacy app that was so simple and fun that anyone could use it. With this, our second major redesign we think we're closer than ever.
A few of my favorite things about this design (besides the bears) is the detail we able to go into building unique app that felt respectful of the differences for how people use Windows and macOS. On macOS, for the minimalist, we also have a "mini-mode" where you can hide the visualization and get straight down to business.
One last thing, if you miss the warm wood, don't be disappointed, with the app open type "wood" and you'll have a nice little surprise. ;)
Thanks!
I apologize in advance, but @ryandochuk could you please in plain words explain your privacy standards concerning logs, keeping user information, that stuff in particular.
@vladzima They have a great Privacy Policy that's written to be informative and understandable which answers this question well, I think, with justifications for what they do keep: https://www.tunnelbear.com/priva...
I'm a big fan of Tunnel Bear. It's a dead simple VPN with good speeds at a great price -- and unlike certain others, they don't log users' activity. PLUS THOSE BEAR PUNS!
In addition to the face-lift, which is what everyone will immediately notice in this update, the new app features a trusted networks feature that's just great: you can set TunnelBear to activate automatically on any network that isn't your home (or whatever Trusted Networks you specify) so you never have to worry about remembering to activate it the next time you're out -- now I'm hoping they figure out a way to bring this to iOS! Great service, great update.
I really like the love given to the whole VPN user experience. One quick comment: I often judge VPN providers by looking at how clever they are with security and privacy stuff. To do so, I go check their blog. Last blog post was written in August 2015. Kill it or keep it alive, never let an injured bear out in the woods :)
So, I tried to get to the site but it's not working in Chrome or Firefox. Getting errors about the SSL. http://imgur.com/a/3uQ6V
EDIT: now it works, all good! :)
@marcsnyder 500MB is probably a few hours of casual web browsing, but only about an hour of 360p video on Youtube. The good news is we also have a twitter promo where you can get another 1GB of data for free.
Tunnel bear has limited bandwidth so i am using ipvanish vpn on my firestick for streaming. If you are planning to use VPN only for streaming then I suggest you to buy ROKU. This blog (https://rokupoint.com/) will help you to setup roku for your smart tv.
You should add Romania as an endpoint, too. I would love to connect back home when I am travelling in Western Europe, as we don't block websites or protocols around here. It's called net neutrality or something. *joke*
