TunnelBear

TunnelBear is a consumer VPN offering a limited free plan and paid Unlimited subscriptions. Its pricing page identifies TunnelBear LLC and Toronto, Canada, and the privacy policy explains its handling of data under Canadian law. A separate download page provides the route to the applications. The basic homepage returned little extractable text, but the pricing, privacy and download pages supplied substantive branded product evidence.

The pricing comparison lists country selection, split tunneling, unlimited browsing and unlimited devices for the paid plan. It separately offers Teams for organizations, which is not the consumer plan evaluated here. The free tier is intended for testing and limited use and includes 2 GB of data. The paid page advertises a starting monthly equivalent, but the fetched comparison did not establish its associated full consumer billing commitment, so no definitive introductory or renewal price is asserted here.

TunnelBear’s privacy policy says it does not store originating IP addresses while connected or records of the applications, websites and services used through the VPN. It nevertheless lists account data, current-month data consumption and operational events, so its privacy position should not be described as collecting nothing whatsoever. The pricing page claims annual security audits with published results; this collection did not review an individual report or establish its exact scope. The stored terms provide automatic renewal unless canceled. Their 30-day money-back guarantee applies only to the first year of annual subscriptions purchased directly from TunnelBear; monthly subscriptions, Teams and iOS or Google Play purchases are excluded. Shipping, handling and taxes are not refundable, and partial refunds are not guaranteed. Other refunds are discretionary. Application behavior, speed and streaming access were not tested.
