TunnelBear Alternatives for Linux

As a virtual private network app that emphasizes ease of use and simplicity, TunnelBear can be found on Windows, macOS, as well as on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. However, as a freemium and closed source option, it is understandable if you would prefer to go with an open source alternative to TunnelBear for your VPN needs.

Alternatives to TunnelBear for Linux with any license

  • Tor Browser

    The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software.

In addition, these reports claim that Hola user's bandwidth was sold and that users are unknowingly part of a "botnet." For more information on the claims and findings refer to the posts here: http://adios-hola.org/ The response to these claims and the vulnerabilities from the Hola CEO can be read on their website here: https://hola.org/blog/the-recent-events-on-the-hola-network/
    • Real VPN's cost money to operate, someone is paying the bill. If you're not paying for it (Hola), you're not the customer you're the product. If the VPN is 100% Free then chances are there's a business model that involves your data. This might be fine for you - just make sure you're aware. zimmerhans425 • Jul 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
