Used to be good

They have changed their free tier until slowly and now you can’t choose a country and are limited to 2GB PER MONTH??

Really disappointing because this used to be my go-to. The 5-star rating is definitely from back when they weren’t punishing people for not wanting to pay.

Works fine in US. In Mexico blocks some sites. Customer assistance is prompt and in person which is rare today

Pile of Bears**t

Was good but they’ve decided to go all “let’s make money from every aspect of this app” Avoid, there’s better options out there%
So got an email from tunnel Bear saying sorry etc but no mention of changing their price plans that they started with. Definitely now a smash and grab company with its pricing model.
