Golden Frog VyprVPN vs. TunnelBear

This is a VPN for a technical user. It's not the easiest VPN to use and, while very secure, the quirks and issues it has will frustrate your standard users. It's a great backup and secondary VPN option for me as a technical user, but I think for the average user I would recommend something a bit more friendly. For all you IT folks out there or more tech-savvy people, I would definitely recommend checking it out though!

I think the best scenario is a business trip where you are forced to connect to open networks without any protection from the administrator, such as in some airports, hotels, cafes, public squares... Thanks to TunnelBear, you can surf the net more safely. To be honest, I wouldn't use it if I had to deal with sensitive personal information or similar scenarios, as VPNs are often not fully transparent with data usage.

• The speed you get is actually really good. I have connected it to multiple locations and very rarely had issues with slow speed.
• There are multiple servers across different locations. So you always have a lot of choices.
• Simple to use. The UI is really clean and easy to navigate. Works almost with a single click.
• You also get access to the mobile version which works really nicely as well.
• Good support. They were really helpful and responded quickly when I contacted them.

• Untraceable connections.
• Very stable connection to network.
• Great user interface.
• Effective support.

• Not enough options on Mobile/iOS.
• Their Trusted Wifi Access Points feature just doesn't seem to work.

• I would like to be able to have total clarity about the use of my data.

I tried a few alternatives (Cyberghost, Private Internet access etc) before settling on this. Of all the different options I looked into this one performed most reliably for me. It was also the fastest of the different options I tested. It was also backed up by good reviews online and solid support team. It is a little pricier than some competitors but I feel I get good value out of it.

• A single leak of data or hack easily makes this worth it.
• Its low cost makes ROI and justifiability easy.

Incentivized

• Great protection of my data.
• Stay anonymous on public networks.
• Possibility of knowing tools not available in our country of origin.
