If you are paying attention to current events, it’s become evident that privacy whether from the government or a marketing company has become big news and big business. TunnelBear is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that masks your IP, forming a secure connection with servers around the globe reducing your digital footprint and the amount of your data that is shared with social media. What people seem to like most about it is the simplicity; a simple on/off button suffices but the negative that comes with that is that there aren’t a lot of advanced options available for different settings.

Free users are granted 500MBs of data each month. If you are willing to pony up the extra dough, you get unlimited data for $2.99 a month or $29.99 per year.

Price: Free $2.99/Monthly $29.99/Annually
