Doesn't like to connect in the first place, often fails to let you know that it didn't connect, and won't stay connected. Best thing about that last part is that it doesn't even let you know if it disconnected. Don't waste your money on the premium version either, as it's just as bad as the free one, AND seems to forget that you've got the paid version, so it constantly harasses you about upgrading. Save your money, get a different no-log VPN.

We’re sorry if you're having problems with your bear. Please reach out to tunnelbear.com/support or email support@tunnelbear.com and one of our support bears can help.

I really, really want to like this VPN, but dear god, the bugs are unbearable (no pun intended). Half the time the app will log you out within hours of your last use. Unfortunately, every time you're logged out, your settings (including split VPN) are completely reset. I've logged numerous tickets and their response is non-existent. Update 4 Nov: the connection issue seems to have resolved, but it'd be nice if they changed it so the promo notifications had their own category to turn it off!

It randomly activates at times when the app is not even open. And when you do want to turn it on or off the switch in the app works less than 20% of the time. Update: Latest update broke the app completely, endless green spinning circle when trying to launch.
