Can I trust TunnelBear?
A VPN can have the strongest encryption in the world, but if it’s handing out user data to anyone who asks, it’s unlikely to survive in the industry. TunnelBear claims to follow a no-logging policy, storing only payment information and diagnostic data, such as whether you were active this month and how much data you used. Luckily, it’s one of the few providers to have backed this up with an independent audit – something it has done every year since 2017.
So, in other words, TunnelBear is trustworthy. The only downside is that it is based in Canada, a member of the Five Eyes alliance. But because no personally identifiable data is stored, this doesn’t really matter; it can’t reveal what you did online while connected anyway.
