@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!
@robjama @ryandochuk Fellow Torontonian + TunnelBear fan checking in. Loved the little "clunk" sound the app made when activated.
Hey It's looking lovely :) When should I expect you on Appsumo with some amazing lifetime ( or yearly ) deals ? :)
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...
@chrisdolle Thanks Chris. I got used to commonly unreadable policies so haven't even looked there. This one is actually good.
@vladzima https://thatoneprivacysite.net/v... is a good resource. Just search for TunnelBear.
1 of 3 connection attempts are successful. Interesting, cause there was no such problem with previous version on Sierra.
@vladzima Hey Vladislav - If you aren't having any issues, we'd love to investigate tunnelbear.com/support. Engineering Bears are standing by.
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.
@ryandochuk I was wondering what "500MB of free data every month" represents? Can you illustrate as in "X number of movies" for example?
@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.
I only just discovered this product thanks to a recommendation by Product Hunt on their feed and boy, this tool is already so simple to setup and use. I really like the branding and app animations.
Nice work. I'll be going Premium.
This is definitely the best VPN. I used it to watch the BBC's coverage of the Olympics. It works wonderfully!
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 :)
Guys, good job!
I've been trying your product these last few days and I love it.
It's simple to use, the UI is super sleek, and the free plan (plus the extra 1Gb) to try it out is awesome!
This is what I was waiting to find for years! Finally a VPN that includes UK proxy in the free tier and is fast. Thanks!
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*
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! :)
I want to love you guys (great design, awesome privacy policy) but after opening a connection on my Mac with nothing else running, the Mac client is counting down MBs from my connection when I am doing nothing. I have no programs open, no other tabs, and it is already down to 347 MB of the free 500. The free 500 feels kinda scammy to be honest. What gives?
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.
