What TunnelBear VPN does on your phone
TunnelBear VPN is a VPN app for Android. It routes your phone's connection through a remote server, so websites see that server's IP address instead of yours, and the data leaving your device is encrypted. The listing says it is meant for everyday users who want privacy and security without setting anything up, and a single tap starts the connection.
Because the connection goes through a server, the app can also get you past blocked websites and apps. The listing presents this as one of its main uses.
Choosing a server location in 47 countries
The network has more than 9000 servers spread across over 47 countries. Picking a different country changes which region's servers your traffic appears to come from, which the listing gives as the way to browse content that is only offered in other places.
The listing does not describe a separate mode for this. The same one-tap connection and server list handle both privacy and location changes.
Privacy on public Wi-Fi and while traveling
The listing names three settings where the app is meant to be used: public Wi-Fi, home networks and abroad. On a shared network, the encrypted connection keeps your browsing from being read by others on that network.
The developer also lists protection against hackers, advertisers, trackers and people snooping on your activity. Private browsing is part of the package, and the listing says it keeps searches private. The developer states a no-logging policy, meaning the company says it does not keep records of user activity.
Encryption, protocols and security audits
The app uses AES-256 bit encryption. It also supports WireGuard, a VPN protocol the listing describes as fast and stable for private browsing connections. The developer says it uses anti-censorship technologies sourced from researchers worldwide.
According to the developer, the apps undergo annual independent security audits. Unlimited connections mean one account can cover every device you own, which the listing presents as a way to protect all of them at once.
Free data allowance and premium plans
The free tier includes 2GB of browsing data each month, and the listing says no credit card is required to use it. Once that allowance is used up, unlimited data is available through premium plans purchased inside the app.
The premium plans cover the same features on all of your devices. The listing does not present the free tier as a trial.
