![]() This will automatically open the account settings page on the TunnelBear web site.Ĭonclusion: TunnelBear extension for the Chrome web browser brings anonymity to the Chrome browser through the TunnelBear VPN proxy without having to install any software on your PC. This is ideal for those users who want the VPN proxy for only their web browsers. Instead, you can open the settings section from the TunnelBear extension drop-down menu and choose Manage Account from there. You do not have to manually open the TunnelBear website to manage your account related settings. The TunnelBear extension offers a self contained TunnelBear account management interface for you. It connects to the fastest VPN server available for your region by default, but you can manually choose any of the available VPN servers located in various countries. TunnelBear provides 500 MB download quota for free account holders and you can claim 1 GB extra download quota by tweeting about TunnelBear. To do this, you can click on the TunnelBear icon in the Chrome toolbar. After installing the TunnelBear extension in Chrome browser, you have to either create a new TunnelBear account or login using your existing TunnelBear user account. ![]() It provides anonymity only to the Chrome web browser – but for many users this is enough. The TunnelBear browser extension for Chrome browser does not provide VPN proxy for all the apps in your PC, as you can guess. We have posted about TunnelBear VPN service in the past, but if you are not comfortable about installing VPN software on your PC, then you can still use TunnelBear VPN inside your Chrome web browser through their browser extension. There are many ways to achieve internet anonymity but VPN tunnels are one of the most popular methods of all. Of course, there’s other VPN/proxy services available that’re also Linux-friendly, but Tunnelbear’s service is fairly popular and particularly easy to use.Web anonymity is something that is increasingly becoming more and more desired by users of various backgrounds. But for most of the users this is done to access the sites without exposing much information about themselves like the IP address and other information which can be derived from their IP address, for example, their geographic location. This Chrome extension makes Tunnelbear’s service appealing for Linux and Chrome OS users just looking for casual proxy usage. How CBC’s website videos look with Tunnelbear’s Chrome extension turned on. With the extension turned on, videos worked fine: How CBC’s website videos normally look for Americans. I’ve let my paid Tunnelbear service lapse, but I tried out the extension on my Linux Mint laptop in Chrome using Canada’s CBC’s website, whose videos are normally region-blocked for yours truly. However, it’ll be good enough for the average person’s general usage, such as accessing region-blocked streaming video services-Canadians who want to see the US version of Netflix, say-or those using unencrypted public Wi-Fi, such as that in many coffeeshops. ![]() It’s also not as secure-the extension uses AES 128-bit encryption versus the apps’ AES 256-bit encryption. Since the extension is an encrypted proxy, it doesn’t have the full range of detailed VPN options like what the regular Tunnelbear apps for mobile devices, OS X, and Windows offers. The Chrome plugin works with the free Tunnelbear package, though currently has a 500MB data limit, even if you increase the limit to 1GB via tweeting about Tunnelbear. That’s finally changed Tunnelbear’s released a Chrome extension that, when installed, serves as an encrypted proxy and lets one turn on/off support to a range of countries (Canada, UK, etc.) easily with an icon in Chrome’s toolbar. The easy-to-use VPN service Tunnelbear has had support for OS X, Windows, and mobile devices for awhile, but has never officially supported Linux, or by extension Chrome OS. ![]()
