TunnelBear VPN 2.2

The general consensus is that the Internet should be a free environment, one where content isn’t blocked or held off for users in any corner of the world. Of course, the reality is a bit different. There are plenty of countries out there where Internet access is censored, where entire platforms are blocked in an effort to keep people’s knowledge of what’s going on in the world limited to government-served information.

There are also instances when content is blocked due to copyright issues. This usually happens to European users, for instance, when it comes to content from the United States where there are licensing problems. While YouTube is one of the main places where such practices have been detected, it’s nowhere near the only site with such issues.

Mobile VPN

For any of these instances, hope is not lost and there are things that can be done to bypass the blockade by fooling the system into thinking that your IP address is actually from another country. While the practice may seem to be a little shady, there’s nothing wrong with it and that’s why VPN tools have grown so much in popularity in recent years.

TunnelBear VPN is an app that can bring the service that many have used straight on their browsers and desktop computers to the mobile phone.
The app itself is very simple to use. As you launch it, you’ll have to create an account and validate your email address by accessing the link sent there; so make sure you use a real address and not a spoof.

Pick a place

There are no settings that you’ll have to set or any other type of technical details that you’ll need to go into, which means the app will do everything in your place.

All you need to do is decide which country you want the app to spoof as being the one you live in. There are quite a few to pick from, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Japan, Italy and Spain.

The VPN can be turned on and off at any time by tapping the button on the screen. Free users have 500 MB of Internet traffic every month, but you can get additional traffic for tweeting about the app, for instance. There’s also the possibility to upgrade to a Pro account for a few bucks each month.
