When it works, it's fine. Nothing special. Mid price. The problem I have is that it keeps disconnecting, even when I'm sat at home on Wi-fi and not going out of range. Installed a month or so ago. Seriously considering uninstalling and going with another provider. I wanted to love this VPN app, but I can't. It is inconsistent.

Seems broken on Android 10; can't connect to any countries or auto. Just says to restart my device, which didn't help. Desktop version still fine. I travel a lot, so being able to still use regionally locked Apps that I subscribe to is great. Rock solid stability. Fast throughput. Also use it on my Mac.

Disappointed - has recently stopped working, been a long term user. For over 3 years I had trouble free VPN. it worked great until recent. Now, it will not connect to anything. Sorry Tunnelbear, it's time for uninstalling. It's plus sides were it was a smooth, easy to use VPN. Both PC and mobile, reliable and easy to switch countries.
