  IMPORTANT NOTICE

The ever-increasing amount of threats and data theft attempts brings privacy protection in the attention of every computer user. There are various methods to make sure that your identity is protected when going online, and one of them is making use of a virtual private network (VPN) application, such as TunnelBear.

The purpose of TunnelBear is to help you add an extra security layer to the data transfers that occur between your PC and the remote server by using anonymous services to encrypt the information. With its aid, you can navigate on the Internet without worrying that your data might get intercepted by unauthorized third parties.

Aside from securing information, this VPN software tool is capable of hiding your real IP address and assigning you one from another country. As a consequence, you can overcome geographical location restrictions that some websites impose.

The application requires you to log in to your account, and once you do so, things get very simple. The only intervention from the user's part is related to choosing the desired country from the drop-down list and turning TunnelBear on. If the connection fails, the diagnose mode can help you figure out what goes wrong.

Once you are connected to a VPN service, your identity is hidden, as the program automatically redirects all the data traffic through a proxy server in the selected location. On the downside, the traffic is limited to 500MB per month, which might be a bit less, even for regular users.

TunnelBear displays statistical data concerning the trackers (analytics, ads, scripts, social buttons on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) blocked by the application during your browsing session. It features desktop notifications to let you know about important events, while the 'Vigilant mode' is capable of adjusting the security level.

VPN technology is widely used for securing information exchange and protecting user identities. Taking everything into account, we have come to the conclusion that TunnelBear provides you with a simple, yet useful anonymity service that can prevent website trackers from reaching your computer.
