History of TunnelBear
TunnelBear was founded in 2011 by Ryan Dochuk and Daniel Kaldor, two Canadian entrepreneurs with backgrounds in security and technology. The company aimed to provide a simple and user-friendly VPN service that would help users protect their online privacy and access geo-restricted content. With its bear-themed branding and intuitive design, TunnelBear quickly gained popularity among casual internet users who wanted an easy way to encrypt their internet connections.
In 2018, TunnelBear was acquired by McAfee, a major cybersecurity company, as part of its efforts to expand privacy-focused services. Despite the acquisition, TunnelBear continued to operate independently, maintaining its commitment to transparency and security. The company regularly undergoes third-party security audits and has built a reputation for its strong encryption, no-logs policy, and user-friendly experience, making it a popular choice for those seeking a reliable VPN solution.
