TunnelBear has been constantly developing and adding features.īut more importantly what is interesting about Wirecutter is that they reviewed 53 VPNs and approached them very rigorously from the point of view of privacy and security first and who you can trust (to the extent you can trust anyone). I will say that the review you link to is a year old and a lot can change in a year, so you can't really directly compare Wirecutter's review from this November, to Cloudwards review from a year before.

I was not suggesting people should use TunnelBear or that they are the 'best' (obviously something dependent on what one's particular needs are). Honestly, when I first saw it, even though they have 'tunnel' in their name and it should be obvious, I immediately thought, why do that have a honey pot in their logo? They should have made the 'tunnel' part of their logo grey, instead of literally the shade of yellow most commonly seen on actual pots of honey.Ĭlick to expand.I really have no idea what your point is with the 'pants on our heads' comment.

If TunnelBear can do it, what's the problem for ProtonVPN?Īnyway, just curious what people think about this review and it's approach to analyzing the quality of VPNs.Īlso, as an aside, does it bother anyone that the the logo for TunnelBear is a bear jumping out of a tunnel (I guess) that looks a lot more like a bear jumping out of a honey pot? And in their apps they represent their servers on a global map with this tunnel/honey pot icon? Is this supposed to be a joke? Or is it just an incredibly bad oversight (how much the end of the tunnel coming out of the ground looks a lot more like a honey pot, than a tunnel)? It doesn't really seem funny to me and I find it rather off-putting. I'm disappointed by ProtonVPN's way of handling this. And they were not happy that ProtonVPN would only show them a non-public security audit if they agreed to sign an NDA, which would pretty much make it impossible to write a review about it. They ding IVPN for having only had a limited security audit, of their claim to not log user activity. They make a big deal out of the fact that TunnelBear has had multiple third party security audits and made the results public. I thought it was interesting that they like TunnelBear and Mullvad the most. Wirecutter recently did a very extensive review of VPN services and put a lot of consideration to who takes privacy and security seriously.
