Cannot verify

When I try to open the link to verify, it doesn’t load at all and therefore I can’t even login properly. I tried to open the link from all websites available (chrome, google, safari- all the same: just a blank loading page)

Used to be Free

Used to be able to connect to other countries for free with 2gb of data. No longer an option. Uninstalling.

TunnelBear

It keeps dropping off all by itself, especially when I am banking. It is useless and I want a refund!

Thank you!!!

Update: The free version no longer allows connection to other countries. What a bummer. I loved using this app for album releases.

Previous: I’ve used this app twice to listen to a few songs on YouTube that are not available in my country. Anywho, thanks to the developers for making this app!!! The free version is very easy to use.
