How to configure a VPN without special knowledge and use it for $ 5 per month on mobile and PC

I had a desire to start to use the Internet only via a secure VPN channel with traffic encryption and, preferably, to make all sorts of Internet filters in various countries visited me not spoil mood. I began to search for the VPN-service with our listAs well as services such as vpn.sh. They are doing their job perfectly - provide sufficient, even for streaming HD-video, speed, encrypted channel, providing complete anonymity (one of payment services will only accept gift-cards of various retail chains, which does not issue your identity when registering), but there is one problem - to configure this connection to the PC, mobile and tablet, you have to have endurance, read long instructions and simply be extremely motivated man. I only lasted a PC, and the hands have not reached the mobile settings. And I began to look for a solution that:

• encrypts my channel;
• worth no more than $ 5 a month (for some reason to pay more, I do not want to);
• easy to configure;
• provides a secure channel for PC, mobile and tablet "out of the box";
• allows geographically change switch-on point, VPN-host.

In the end, I chose TunnelBearAbout which we wrote earlier, but who seriously revised pricing policy became make friends with mobile and just doing all the conditions, I came up with for this project.

Decision

Today TunnelBear - it's shareware, the VPN service, which for its operation requires account registration and helps to raise the "tunnel" with applications for Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.

Very easy to get started with it on a PC - putting the customer, are authorized, you select the switch-on point (US, UK, Canada, Germany, Japan, Australia or France) and includes tunneling. Now work with the Internet will be selected through a foreign host, bypassing all the prohibitions of the country where you are. Your traffic will be encrypted algorithm AES 128-bit. For public sites you will be overseas visitors, and in the territory of your country of residence you slipped over an encrypted channel directly to the country selected for the connection.

The mobile solution (smartphone + tablet)

C Mobile a little harder, but do not worry - iPhone Setup and then iPad, ranked second at 90. Shake TunnelBear client for your platform ...

... and set.

Then start the application, authorize in it, installing certificates - nothing fancy, just click on the button, the only possible and get a customized device. If we talk about iOS, the result looks like this:

However, iOS has a problem, and it is that, to reduce the discharge of the battery, this OS disables the VPN-connection. You will have every time in the settings to raise it again to the safe operation of the Internet. On Android, this is no problem.

Internet speed "before" and "after"

It is also evident that when the traffic goes through the remote from your host, and even encrypted internet speed drops. For example, on my internet speed up to 50M British host was 10M. This is a fee for security.

But it is possible to slightly reduce the effects of tunneling - you can register settings in TunnelBear sites that traffic will go directly. For example, I have so prescribed serial site soap4.me, which lacks tunneled internet speed.

Additionally TunnelBear can start filtering your data, which you leave on the website - not to give social and personalized buttons ship data such as Google Analytics system (there is no constant shipment of your personal data and social networking services and statistics collection lead generation).

issue price

Free you can use TunnelBear only within the limit of 500 MB per month. Tvitnuv the good news about the service, you will receive an additional 1 GB of traffic. If you need unlimited traffic solution for a personal computer and two mobile devices, choose the rate of $ 5 / month or $ 50 / year.

Output

Perhaps, TunnelBear not the safest solution (for example, because you identify yourself on the stage of payment by credit card or PayPal), but it allows you to secure it personal data transmitted over the Internet, and makes it nearly impossible to intercept data in public places, but also makes you a ghost for fraud Web resources. We recommend you start with him to develop the habit to work with global garbage and stay with clean hands.
