We have exciting news to share!

For 11 years, we’ve done our best to ensure that users could try out TunnelBear before committing to a subscription. Resetting monthly, we’ve provided all users with the option to create a free account and have access to 500 MB of VPN data, with the option to participate in monthly bonus data promotions.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve made the decision to increase our free data limit to 2GB per month, and in doing so, we will also be removing the extra leg work required to partake in our data bonuses.

What does this mean for you?

Over the course of the next month, you should see your free data limit increase automatically to 2GB. This will occur on your next monthly data reset - typically on the anniversary of when you created your account. We ask that you ‘bear’ with us until this happens.

You may still see the option to partake in a data bonus within the TunnelBear app, but these will be removed in future updates. Our aim is to make things as easy as possible for our users. There are no extra hoops to jump through to get the increased data.

Our goal has always been to provide an easy-to-use, secure service, and promote a more open internet. By removing our data bonuses, and increasing our free data limit, we hope to make our service even more accessible than it was before.
