TunnelBear, founded in 2011 in Toronto, Canada, is a technology company providing Virtual Private Network (VPN) services that prioritize online privacy and security. The platform enables secure browsing by encrypting user connections and masking their actual location, helping prevent data tracking and bypassing geo-restrictions. Known for its accessible and user-friendly design, TunnelBear appeals to both cybersecurity experts and beginners with its playful interface. The service operates on a freemium model, offering a limited data plan so users can try it out before subscribing to a paid plan that provides unlimited data usage.
