The idea behind TunnelBear is to make these often complicated features easy for everyone to use. This lets you block dangerous website categories, such as those offering gambling and crypto services, as well as malware and advertisements for a safer online experience overall. Updated on 05-13-2015 by Andy Boxall: TunnelBear is now available as a Chrome extension. Windscribe has a feature known as "R.O.B.E.R.T" too, which is available to customers on the free plan. Note: This is a standard warning from Chrome. Click on Add extension to grant permission for TunnelBear to add the extension. Click the ‘Add to Chrome’ button on the top right corner of the Chrome Web Store website. While OpenVPN isn't available with this provider, you can access UDP, TCP, and WStunnel, which TunnelBear does not offer. Visit our website then click the ‘Chrome’ button at the bottom of the page. The provider similarly offers a range of VPN protocols, including WireGuard, TCP, UDP, Stealth, and WStunnel. Like TunnelBear, Windscribe's free VPN service also uses AES-256 encryption.

Additionally, TunnelBear lets you use its kill switch feature (known as VigilantBear) that lets you terminate all online connections if the VPN connection is lost. You can also choose between various protocols, including IKEv2, WireGuard, and OpenVPN, with TunnelBear's free plan. TunnelBear's free VPN plan uses AES-256 encryption to secure your internet traffic, an incredibly strong cipher that's never been cracked.
