Unfortunately, because TunnleBear uses it's own client rather than the standard Windows VPN mechanism VPNCheck can't be used with it. While I love your company and the generous touch of humor and whimsy you bring to a normally somber market, I can't live with a product with that gaping a security hole. If and when that's fixed and if the performance is about an order of magnitude better than it was when I tested it a year or so ago I'll be on board in a heartbeat.
I'm trying to avoid proprietary OS's now -- I don't suppose I could get into the linux beta you mention here: http://help.tunnelbear.com/customer/portal/articles/824779-i...
Will such people understand the subtle ways in which using a VPN will make your communications less secure, though?
Our goal, however, is different. We aim to bring VPN/privacy protection to people who have never heard of VPN (notice that we don't have "VPN" anywhere on our site, except for in a quote from TNW and in the help section). Despite there being 100's (if not 1000's) of VPN services out there, very few of them, sadly, care about the non-tech-savvy audience.
