TunnelBear 3.0 Intros a Redesigned Interface, Dumps Retro Wood
TunnelBear, the versatile and incredibly easy to use VPN solution, has reached an important milestone: version 3.0 has just been released.
According to the development team, nearly everything about TunnelBear has been improved. But the thing that will strike you most is the redesigned, brand new interface. The new TunnelBear 3.0 drops the retro wood interface in favor of something that's completely different.
Let’s take a before-and-after look and compare the old visual experience with the new one, shall we?

- Redesigned and reengineering from the paws up, we proudly present the new TunnelBear for Windows app
- We've improved nearly every aspect of your TunnelBear, including a beautiful new design, stronger security features and faster connection times
- We've shed the retro wood from our original app and redesigned a simple, beautiful new app that feels more at home on Windows
- Trusted networks feature automatically connects to any network not in your trusted list. E.g. You can list your home Wi-Fi as trusted and have TunnelBear automatically connect the next time you're on a public Wi-Fi that might be less safe
- Be alerted on unsecure networks that use WEP, or no admin passwords
- Improved "Vigilant" mode will block all unsecured data while you connect and reconnect
- Connect and reconnect up to 60% faster than our old app
- Much, much more
- 3853% more Bears
