Whenever we discuss something about geo location restricted services like Hulu and Spotify here on Compixels we do mention how to override it using VPN services. We used to recommend Hotspot Shield for US and Expat Shield for UK restricted web services. Though these are unlimited bandwidth VPN services, set up was not quick and it was infested with ads. And being populated with thousands of users world-wide the speeds were not descent. Meet this two-in-one goodie TunnelBear VPN app.
TunnelBear, is a free (upto 1GB/ month) VPN service that offers both US and UK servers under a single desktop app. This simple and polished app available for Windows and Mac is easy to set up and quick to respond. Switching between US and UK sessions are very easy through the TunnelBear interface. Once after downloading and installing TunnelBear VPN app you need to create an account with them. Now confirm your email address and then login to choose between the free account with initial 500 MB data or unlimited data for $4.99 per month. As a promo offer TunnelBear is offering 1GB of data per month for all those who are tweeting and requesting on Twitter. We recommend TunnelBear as it’s the best VPN service for accessing US and UK restricted services like Hulu, Spotify, Pandora, BBC etc.
The following IP information was recorded for both US and UK sessions which shows TunnelBear uses servers based in Florida, Lincolnshire respectively.
