Free Upgrade to 5GB on Basic TunnelBear Accounts (Usually 500MB)

3840

Pretty well regarded free easy to use VPN, perfect for travelling. Normal basic account usually has a 500mb limit, but found this link thanks to Techradar that gets you 5GB instead. Should be more than enough for most people using it on their phones.

Edit: People are reporting the link is still only giving them 500mb, so try going via the link via Techradar

Edit 2: Link updated. This one seems to work, sorry about the earlier stuff up.

Edit 3: Seems to be new accounts only, and verifying your email nabs you an extra 500mb!

      • To use when travelling to China so you can check gmail,dropbox and youtube etc.

        • Cool! good to know TunnelBear is available when I'm travelling there

  • And from the sounds of it, seems like it's a 5GB a month kind of thing rather than just a one-off. Thanks!

  • tunnel bear is so slow today :( wasnt like this before the promotion~

    Thanks OP!

    Use this to listen to Pandora

    Not sure why but I too cannot get this to work, despite using an unused browser, clearing cache and cookies and attempting to create a new account.

    • +1

      same…it says 209mb left.

    • Get different browser, perhaps?

      I managed to score one by logout the existing subscription and switch on incognito from android phone

  • +1

    just signed up, only 500mb

  • Thanks! Just got 5.5GB.

    Anybody having trouble getting it to work, try the following method as that is how i got it to finally work for me

    Delete account using the link posted earlier above thanks to ChronoSphinx : https://help.tunnelbear.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2770…

    Go into incognito/private mode on your mobile/ipad/pc browser & sign up again using the link posted earlier above thanks to GreenOllie : http://click.tunnelbear.com/aff_c?offer_id=42&aff_id=2940

    Once signed up, if you click on the tunnelbear logo up top & on the following page go to your account, you will see the 5GB & that will change to 5.5GB once you verify your email.

    Hope that helps

    • Thanks heaps - it did work

    • Yea that worked a treat!

    • Thank you, this worked for me too!

    • —EDITED— Found how to do it. Thanks a million!

    • can't get it to work. Deleted account 3 times and tried, and still only get 500MB. Tried with a new email that's never been used before and still only get 500MB

      • @cNelson144 - are you in private/incognito mode when signing up? That is the only way i got it to work. If its not working on your pc then maybe try on your mobile or vice versa. But you need to be in private/incognito mode the whole time during signup for it to work.

      • need to clear cache or delete cookies before deleting account

    • nope :( showing 490mb on mine after doing this.

    • Worked for me also. Thanks!

    Thanks OP.

    Works a treat on my Nexus 5X, went straight to Pandora for first test - like xmas morning, very happy chappy.

    Tried the same on PC (Windows 10 and chrome) and it just kills all internet - cannot reach any sites when tuned on. No idea what the problem is. And it consumed 22mb whilst trying.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Tweet it and you get another 1GB.

  • Thanks OP, just signed up and received 5.5Gb

  • The only VPN I found to consistently work in China. The others I downloaded would wind up blocked within 24 hours. Thanks heaps =)

  • Where are they based at, hope not within the 5-Eyes jurisdiction

    • They are from Canada.

      • -1

        Should've called it TunnelMoose then…

      • +1

        They are from Canada

        Useless VPN, they're within jurisdiction to hand over your details and logs which may well result in your charge and extradition.

        Get a VPN that's headquartered in Indonesia or Seychelles,

        • Recommendations?

        • @R3XNebular: Depends what you want to do:

          • If you want a VPN to just to bypass Regional Media Streaming such as watch your favourite BBC documentary or series that's not streamed here, then you can go with the OP's mentioned VPN or any VPN for that matter.

          • If you want a VPN to mask your activity because you're posting (commenting) on things which may be seen illegal, you wish to 'state your mind' on Twitter without being politically correct, you wish to expose a government conspiracy which could see locked up, then go for something outside the 5-eyes,

          e.g. https://www.bolehvpn.net/

        • @R3XNebular: I use Ivacy, they don't keep any logs. - https://www.ivacy.com/

  • If you've already tweeted, the delete account trick won't work. You'll need a new email to get the 5GB, and I guess a different twitter account for the extra 1GB.

  • Thanks Op. I got the 5500MB quote after email verification.

  • +2

    Thanks, with the Twitter promo, and email verification = 6.5GB

    • Then give the deal a +ve vote man!

    • 6500MB = 6.347GB

  • so does this get renewed every months?

    • Yes, every one month's.

  • Did no more than 10 or 20 MB and was out of data, getting the message:
    Grrrr! Your TunnelBear is out of free data for the month. Upgrade to a bigger bear, with unlimited data below.

    Is this typical? Waste of time.

  • Just came back from Beijing. I can confirm it works in China, but connection can take quite a while (either to HK or Jap servers)

  • +1

    It should renew today but says "500MB"

  • Tried the delete account trick
    Signed up again, still only 500 MB
    No big deal as my other new account has 5GB
