![]() TunnelBear taught us that people love to use a security app that is thoughtful, simple to navigate and fun. With the free version you can store an unlimited number of passwords on one device (although you get 30 days of access to premium features as a trial), while for anyone who pays $3 per month there's the addition of cloud backup and cross-device syncing.įuture versions of RememBear will add support for not only secure notes, but also two factor authentication (2FA), although there's no word on just how far off this is at the moment.įor RememBear, we tried to recreate the same ease-of-use, humour and beautiful design that makes TunnelBear so much fun.Īs with TunnelBear, there are free and paid-for versions of RememBear. RememBear is available for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and there are also extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. RememBear is a brand new password manager, currently in beta, from the developers behind the VPN client, TunnelBear. Grab your copy from here.Figuring out which TunnelBear is right for your device can be a little tricky because the difference between the apps and the extensions isn't always clear. Available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices, it's pretty much like any other password manager and bears a striking resemblance to Dashlane. People regularly ask us what the advantages of the different versions of TunnelBear are, if they need more than one version, and if they should use different versions at the same time. The short answer is, you can use any version that works for your device, but the apps and the extensions have different use cases. Let's quickly go over the differences between the apps and the extensions, and some of the reasons why you would choose them. Which version of TunnelBear should I use?Ĭhoosing which version of TunnelBear to install really depends on what you plan on using it for. Using the desktop or mobile app means that all of the data you send and receive through your device is encrypted. Whether you're using WhatsApp, FaceTime, or downloading a file, TunnelBear will protect that data by routing it through the app and out into the wild. TunnelBear's browser extension only protects what's sent and received through your browser (Chrome, Firefox or Opera). The pages you browse, the searches you make everything inside your browser is protected.Īpps that use an internet connection outside the browser, like video chat or music streaming, won't be encrypted. Apps will use your real IP coming from your actual physical location. The TunnelBear extension can only protect what happens in your browser, not the standalone apps you use, like FaceTime or Spotify. Why would I want the extension then?įor a lot of people, the most sensitive information they send or receive goes through their browser. TunnelBear works best when it's always on Network testing: VPN add extra variables when troubleshooting connection problems that make it harder to fix the root cause Online gaming: Unless you're routing your game through a nearby server, latency could be an issue However, depending on what apps you're running outside the browser, using your real IP can be a big help.įTP downloads: If you're connecting to an FTP server that only accepts known IP addresses, you can't connect with your VPN It shouldn't be a surprise, but using TunnelBear regularly will help protect your online privacy. Our free trial gives you 500MB, which is enough data to try out your favourite apps and online services to see if TunnelBear is right for you. However, if you take online privacy seriously and plan on keeping TunnelBear on all the time, unlimited annual TunnelBear subscriptions start at just $4.99 a month.
