![]() Not a single free provider will give you a lag-free gaming experience, let alone TunnelBear and its tiny amount of bandwidth allowed each month. Poor gaming performance is what you can expect from free services, generally speaking. However, TunnelBear VPN supports none of them, and with its limited bandwidth, gaming for more than 5 minutes will be an impossible task, depending on the game. Although it supports “gaming” platforms like Windows and Android, don’t expect anything else.įor example, ExpressVPN is one of the best VPNs for PS5 and Xbox Series X, so it’s a perfect choice for gaming on these platforms. What about gaming with TunnelBear? Well, I’m sad to report that our grizzly bear doesn’t love gaming, except if we’re talking about playing with fish in the river, which gaming has nothing to do with. Keep in mind that its bandwidth limit is too low, so you won’t have many chances to use it for unblocking blocked streaming sites or downloading. I had no issues using it on my TV and connecting to a server was done in a few seconds with no problems. The TV app looks pretty much the same as the desktop app, with the same awesome animations and features. ![]() Therefore, it’ll work not only on your TV but also on your phone and tablet. Remember that it has a native Android client, which can be installed on every device with this system. But if you want to use an Android Smart TV VPN, you can do that with this provider. Now that I touched on other platforms, TunnelBear doesn’t officially have any TV apps. However, I also must criticize its mediocre, if not subpar device compatibility that renders TunnelBear unusable on a myriad of devices and platforms. For now, I can just say that its apps are excellent in terms of how they work and feel. Later in my TunnelBear review, I’ll talk about these settings and features. To find all VPN settings, simply click on Connection and you’ll be able to fully control its behavior. Moving on, the Settings menu is opened via the gear icon on the left and it reveals a stunningly-simple menu. The app looks identical across these platforms, and its browser extensions are more like a proxy, and not a full-fledged VPN, so it’s not great. Browser Extensions (Chrome and Firefox).Nevertheless, its mobile app follows the same path in terms of look and animations, and since I touched on that, it will work on the following desktop/mobile platforms: Might I add, it’s also unique, as we rarely see providers with animated apps that do something like this. This indicates that the connection is successful and it’s so cute that you’ll love connecting and disconnecting from a server just to see this animation. Once you do that, the brown grizzly bear will dig out a hole in your location and escape through another hole in the location you’ve chosen on the map. Connecting can be done in two ways – you can click on the country from the map or unwrap the server list above. You get a big world map in monochrome that turns colorful every time you connect to a server. I’ll admit right away that TunnelBear offers one of my favorite VPN apps out there. But how does this provider feel to use on all of its supported devices? Let’s see. If you want to use it on multiple devices, you’ll have to make a new account with a new email and do that for every consecutive device. ![]() Since it’s a free provider, beware that it supports no simultaneous connections, and instead, you get just one. The provider supports several platforms and systems, so it’s still somewhat versatile and usable. This TunnelBear review will start with the user experience and its applications. TunnelBear VPN User Experience & Device Support Therefore, if you’re interested in getting this provider, I recommend reading my TunnelBear VPN review and test first. We’ll not only cover this VPN’s security and performance but also its apps, streaming capabilities, customer support, and even pricing – just in case you decide on its premium plan. ![]() Today’s TunnelBear review for 2023 will tell you if everything you’ve heard about it is true. This provider is known for a somewhat decent server network for a free VPN, as well as beautiful-looking apps with great animations.įurthermore, the provider promises a no-logging policy and offers a decent number of security features that make it – seemingly – a good choice for those looking for a safe and secure VPN. However, in 2023, TunnelBear isn’t as popular as it once was, although it improved bit by bit in some departments. If you’ve ever watched Linus Tech Tips, you know this provider was the main topic of the majority of his advertisements and sponsorships. In the world of free VPNs, TunnelBear garnered a pretty large user base as a result of aggressive marketing campaigns all over YouTube. ![]()
