All this means that the outside snoopers can’t block your VPN traffic. To accomplish this, GhostBear uses a technology called Obfsproxy which alters a number of identifying features like the size of packets or the order they’re sent in. Specifically, it changes your VPN traffic signature to appear as a different kind of traffic to third parties, like your ISP or government agencies.

That said, SplitBear is only available on Android devices running on Lollipop (5.0) or later.Īdditionally, the GhostBear feature prevents outsiders from ever finding out that you’re using VPN software. Such apps include any that may restrict VPN access, or which you trust with your location/IP address, or any apps that might need your local IP address to work properly. The split tunneling feature called SplitBear gives you complete control over which apps will be directed through the secure and encrypted VPN connection, and which you want to leave on your regular Internet connection. VigilantBear can be enabled in the client’s settings and it automatically stops your traffic in case the VPN connection is interrupted for any reason, thus protecting you from unencrypted data leaks. The provider gave its kill switch option a catchy name - VigilantBear, as the term kill switch 'sounds like a switch you activate manually in an emergency'. Its list of features is also somewhat limited, although it does include the standard mechanisms like a kill switch. Specifically, it provides access to an undisclosed number of servers in only about 20 locations.

TunnelBear doesn’t really excel with its server count. 36 month plan - US$3.33 per month (US$119.88 total cost) (opens in new tab).
