Perhaps more interesting, though, is that TunnelBear appears to have become the second app to have built support for a notably effective anti-censorship extension into its Android application.

In a recent release, TunnelBear claims to have successfully circumvented a nationwide VPN block in Iran, while offering 10GB worth of free VPN usage to individuals inside the country. However, split-tunneling is not available on any other OS. TunnelBear doesn't offer a multi-hop option nor Tor-over-VPN, but it does offer limited split-tunneling in its Android client so you can pick which of your computer's connections you want to encrypt.

The software includes a kill switch, which prevents network data from leaking outside of their secure VPN tunnel in the event the VPN connection fails. I'd like to see TunnelBear offer the latest VPN protocol WireGuard, but for now it offers only OpenVPN and IKEv2 protocols.
TunnelBear's encryption is standard AES-256, and it supports Perfect Forward Secrecy, which means it frequently changes encryption keys to avoid security compromises. No IP address, DNS or other potentially user-identifying data leaks were detected during our testing, but in the past TunnelBear was observed to have been leaking WebRTC information on at least two occasions. As is the US, where its parent company McAfee is headquartered.
You want to torrent? Yes, TunnelBear offers P2P torrenting on all of its servers but its home jurisdiction of Canada - a member of the Five Eyes international mass surveillance and intelligence-sharing agreement - is known to come down hard on copyright violations when they're caught. You want to unblock Netflix, BBC iPlayer, or another streaming service? TunnelBear isn't the best choice. Jurisdiction: Canada, with US parent company.As has been the case for every VPN I've tested, German servers underperformed compared to French. The lowest averages were found in Europe, at 65Mbps overall. TunnelBear's connections routinely faltered when testing in the region. Speeds bottomed out in Singapore, though, with a low of 4.95Mbps and an average speed of 68Mbps. Australia followed in third place, with an average 100Mbps. UK speeds came in second place, averaging 104Mbps. Non-VPN speeds in the same round averaged about 244Mbps. That's more than fast enough to torrent, game, or browse. In my tests, US servers delivered the peak speed of 176Mbps, with an average of 112Mbps. TunnelBear's speeds have steadily improved over the years as measured by other review and testing sites, though, and the US scores I recorded saw a speed loss of only 54%. It struggled to catch up to the popular NordVPN's overall 32% speed loss, and catching up to other speed-intensive VPNs such as Surfshark and ExpressVPN (which in previous tests experienced overall losses of just 27% and less than 2%, respectively) could be an even bigger problem. Speeds I recorded for TunnelBear placed it near the middle of the VPN pack.

In the case of TunnelBear, nearly 63% of average internet speed was lost. That's one reason I'm more interested in testing the amount of speed lost (which for most VPNs is typically half or more) across both high-speed and slower connection types, and in using tools such as to even out the playing field.
