SAVE 67%: As of July 21, you can try TunnelBear for free or upgrade to an unlimited plan and save 67% on list price.


There are a lot of VPNs out there with plenty of free services on offer. We don't generally recommend free VPNs because you either lose out when it comes to privacy or bandwidth. However, free VPNs still have their place in the cybersecurity world if you're just looking for something lightweight.

TunnelBear might be the best free VPN. You are limited to 500MB of secure browsing each month, but this should be enough if you're only using TunnelBear for certain tasks. If you're considering upgrading to a paid VPN, this free service gives you a chance to test out TunnelBear.

If you like what you see, a three-year subscription to TunnelBear is on sale for £2.43 per month as of July 21. We know that a three-year commitment is a big deal, but this is why you should test out TunnelBear with the free version first.

Save on cybersecurity for your online world with TunnelBear.
