Tunnelbear is a new VPN with a sense of humor, and is the best VPN for travel to China. To receive a free 7-day trial and 50% off an annual subscription, click here.

This company has a number of extra security features that will help improve privacy. There is the Maul Tracker which will block traffic from other websites from collecting data about the Tunnelbear user. Vigilant Bear is used to protect information from being leak from the server if the users is on an unstable internet connection.

The UDP port is the server configuration which will allow the users to change to the TCP port which is recommended if the internet connection disconnects often.

inteliBear is another feature that many users like. This will split the tunneling on selected websites through a secure tunnel. For example if Tunnelbear is used to access a specific website the URL will be sent through the VPN. If you want to view the website with a regular internet connection the URL can be excluded from this.

Tunnelbear users that travel will also be protected. For people that like in high security countries including China, Iran, or even Syria there is deep filtering that will block encryptions. This is the Ghostbear feature. The Ghostbear will hide openVPN and will tunnel it through another port. The VPN will go through the 443 port that will remain open. This program is able to get around strict firewalls even those that are locked by colleges and corporate networks, thus making it the best VPN for travel to China.

Netflix blocks VPN users due to their IP address but is able to get around this. This program is not detected by Netflix and the user can still access Netflix, Hulu, and HBO on their computer.

Tunnelbear has apps for Iphones and their app is one of the best. They use the IPsec/IKEve protocol that will take the iPhone used on the VPN to a whole new level. Once the Tunnelbear app is installed on the phone the users can chose their service and use it the same way that a Windows of Mac based app would work on the phone.

Tunnelbear has 500MN/ mo high speed VPN access plans. There is a free GB that is offer through Twitter as well. This is good for a person that just surfs the internet on an occasional basis. For those that are online often or may work from their home computer there is the Giant or the Grizzly packages. These packages are also good by people that need their connection encrypted often.

Tunnelbear will offer users the privacy they desire while online. There are a number of advanced security features as well. The connection is fast enough to stream multimedia in HD. For users that use torrenting this server is not recommended. It will block all p2p traffic as well. A users can even try Tunnelbear for free by using this link. TunnelBear is the best VPN for travel to China, and i’s the cheapest solution I’ve found that’s reliable.
