App description :
WHAT DOES TUNNELBEAR DO?
Put simply, by using TunnelBear you can browse from anywhere with peace of mind knowing that your online activity is more private from hackers, ISPs, and advertisers.
HOW DOES TUNNELBEAR WORK?
TunnelBear VPN for iOS is a really simple app that encrypts your web browsing and data (making it unreadable) as it leaves your iPad or iPhone. It makes public Wi-Fi safe and secure, and also keeps your browsing private from ISPs. Websites and advertisers will have a more difficult time tracking your physical location and browsing across the Internet.
HOW CAN I TRUST TUNNELBEAR?
Your browsing habits are personal and shouldn’t be trusted to just anyone. TunnelBear is proud to be the first VPN service in the world to be independently audited by a 3rd party. You can feel confident that we deliver on our promise to secure your data.
One-tap connect: App so simple, a bear could use it
Trustworthy: Along with a strict no-logging policy, we’re the only consumer VPN app to have completed a 3rd party, public security audit
No logging. Your browsing stays private
Grizzly-grade security: TunnelBear uses strong AES-256 bit encryption by default. Weaker encryption isn’t even an option
Global VPN network: With servers in 22+ countries and lightning-fast speeds, access the websites and apps you love. Anytime, anywhere
Helpful support that always responds within 24 hours

Wonderful and simple experience
So I had an iPhone 6 – I would get a ton of spam calls and fake anonymous messages as well as a ton of anonymous gmail emails trying to get me to “click on a link”. I had my ig and Snapchat hacked as I rarely use them when I’m at work. When I actually had some time to check my emails on the security issues I downloaded tunnel bear for secure browsing on ways to mitigate and remove current spyware. Luckily my financial and work apps are encrypted. With tunnel bear’s premium service I automatically saw an increase in device performance and was able to take correct actions to prevent future un wanted access. Cheat and a valuable service to keep your data secure…. in today’s world data and attention is the new source of currency… thanks Tunnel bear dev team for having an app that is seamless to use with no bugs. I owe you a shot of tequila for maintaining my personal information and identity secure while browsing. I also recommend duck duck go, tor, and tunnel bear if you’re experiencing slow internet and spammy messages.
[update] Love it! Latest update w/iOS 11 stopped auto connect
The company responded to my concern within about 24 hours, very timely, especially over the weekend. They informed me that they were aware of the issue and a fix was already in place, pushed to an update: 2.7.1. I updated and voila! it appears to have been resolved. Thanks for your positive and timely response! Very happy with the performance of the app, as well as the ethics and care from this company so far.
I absolutely love TunnelBear. After researching a ton of VPNs and their behaviors and perks, I decided upon TB. No logging. Excellent encryption. Auto connect. No speed loss that I’ve noticed.
I only have one gripe with the latest update / move to iOS 11. The VPN never seems to auto connect anymore. Every time either the device loses or sleeps the connection, or switches between cellular and WiFi, TunnelBear disconnects and never attempts to reconnect like it used to.
Please fix this. It’s now incredibly frustrating to have to manually go to the app to reconnect to VPN every time this happens. And it happens way more often than I thought or ever noticed. Thanks.
Developer Response ,
Rawr! We’re extremely sorry about this! It appears that our latest version had a pesky bug in it that prevents TunnelBear from automatically reconnecting when the connection is lost. We do however have a fix for it – please download the latest version of 2.7.1. If you run into any issues contact our support bears directly at tunnelbear.com/support
