Is TunnelBear free for PC?

Is there a free version of TunnelBear?

No, there isn't. TunnelBear offers an ad-supported version of their service for free, however, you can't access your data and you only get a small amount of storage space. TunnelBear Pro, which is their paid version, offers unlimited data and storage.

No, TunnelBear does not have a free version. I can only give you TunnelBear's explanation of the difference between their paid and free versions: The TunnelBear Pro features unlimited storage and data, as well as access to the VPN service's customer support. The free version, on the other hand, only includes access to our customer support.

The reason for this is that TunnelBear is funded by VPN servers it's connected to, rather than by advertisements. What you can do, however, is try out their service with the free version, and then if you're satisfied, buy TunnelBear Pro.

Is TunnelBear free for PC?

I've used TunnelBear on the Mac and PC but haven't found that much to like about it. In fact, in spite of being super cheap (free), it's actually quite buggy on both platforms, requiring that I sign up for a third-party account in order to send data over wifi from my phone. It's not free to send data over 3G either, as I haven't found a way around that. The iOS app is even more problematic; I was unable to use it last month when it came time to upload the app to the app store because it didn't work well enough on my iPad. But other than that, I can see that some people might like it, and it's probably an OK service, so here's my attempt to make the service fair to use by anyone on any platform.

If you're reading this, then you already have a good idea what TunnelBear is about. This guide should get you to a state where you can send data to your phone over wifi from any device. Before we get into what makes TunnelBear different, I should mention that my review focuses on sending data from PCs, Macs, Android phones, and iPhones to Wifi enabled routers. That's not all that it can do; it will also send data over 3G on iPhone devices, but I don't care about 3G networks right now.

If you've read any reviews or blog posts about TunnelBear, you'll know that the company has one of those annoying we make everything just as great for you on all devices slogans. The reason for this is because the service needs to send data to servers in order to function properly. The software I'm describing here doesn't have a built in web browser, but it does have a web browser called Safari built in. TunnelBear is using Safari to connect your computer to a web server, and if there's any issue with your computer's WiFi connection, that's the service's fault.

So why is it possible to get good service from Mac users or PC users? Let's take a look at how the two operating systems differ.
