Two VPNs. Two very different reasons to be careful.
Avast SecureLine VPN carries a privacy record that still bothers people.
TunnelBear carries a server network that barely counts as a network.
Both are simple. Both are cheap. Neither is a fast VPN.

Avast VPN nedir?

You may already know the company from Avast antivirus.
The VPN service runs on Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Android TV.
One subscription covers up to 10 devices simultaneously.
SecureLine VPN keeps around 700 servers in 34 countries.
That is small next to most VPNs in this price band.
Avast VPN
A plain VPN app for people who want one click and nothing else. Smart VPN mode can automatically connect on public networks. You can test it for 60 days before paying.
Avast VPN Fiyatlandırması
Avast sells the VPN inside its wider product bundles. Here is what our records show.
| Plan | Fiyat | En İyisi İçin |

| Ücretsiz Antivirüs | Özgür | Basic device security with no VPN |
| Premium Güvenlik | 49,99$/ilk yıl | Households wanting security plus VPN access |
| Nihai | 49,99$/ilk yıl | Users who want the full set of Avast products |
Pricing verified September 2026.
Ücretsiz deneme sürümü: Yes. Avast SecureLine VPN has a 60 day free trial on all supported platforms. You must add payment information to start the 60 day trial, but no charge lands until it ends.
Para iade garantisi: Avast has historically offered a 30 day refund window on paid subscriptions. Check the terms at checkout before you install.
📌 Not: Avast does not sell a monthly subscription plan for SecureLine VPN. You commit to a year at minimum, which is worth knowing before the free trials end.
⚠️ Pricing conflict flagged: Our CSV lists Avast bundle pricing (Free Antivirus, Premium Security $49.99/first yr, Ultimate $49.99/first yr). Third-party sources quote standalone SecureLine VPN yearly plans near $4.59, $4.29 and $4.39 per month. We publish the CSV figures and flag the gap. Confirm on Avast’s own checkout page before you buy.
Avast VPN'in Başlıca Faydaları
Here is what you actually get:
- Smart VPN mode: Set rules so the VPN tunnel opens by itself. Smart VPN can trigger on banking sites or an open public network.
- 60 day free trial: One of the longest free trials in the VPN market. Two months is enough time to run your own speed tests.
- Ten device coverage: One subscription, ten devices. You are not stuck protecting one device at a time.
- Protocol choice: You get the OpenVPN protocol, WireGuard and the proprietary Mimic protocol. Mimic is Avast’s answer to blocked VPN traffic.
- Acil durdurma düğmesi: If the VPN connection drops, your internet connection cuts with it. No accidental leak of browsing data.
- Public Wi-Fi cover: Using Avast VPN raises security on unsecured public wi-fi and blunts man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Less tracking, fairer prices: Hiding your IP address stops your internet provider and advertisers from following your online activities. It also helps you dodge price discrimination when you shop.

TunnelBear nedir?
TunnelBear, Kanada merkezli bir VPN hizmetidir ve sahibi Kanadalıdır. McAfee, and a genuinely safe VPN by audit record.
İnternet trafiğinizi şifreler ve gerçek IP adresinizi gizler.
The bear theme is the point. The TunnelBear app is built for VPN newbies.
You pick a country from a world map and connect.
TunnelBear has a small server network with 48 server locations.
O Mac app, Windows app and mobile apps share the same design.
It does not support installation on routers or Linux devices, whatever operating system you run.
TunnelBear
The friendliest VPN app you can install in five minutes. A free account gives you limited data every month. Cure53 has audited it more than once.
TunnelBear Fiyatlandırması
Three tiers, and the cheapest one costs nothing. Here is the breakdown.
| Plan | Fiyat | En İyisi İçin |
|---|---|---|
| Özgür | Testing and limited usage | Trying the VPN app before you pay |
| Sınırsız | 3,33 ABD doları/ay | Individuals who want unlimited data |
| Takımlar | Kullanıcı başına aylık 5,75 ABD doları | Small teams sharing one account setup |
Pricing verified September 2026.
Ücretsiz deneme sürümü: The TunnelBear free plan caps you at 500 MB per month. You can lift it to 2 GB of data through promotions, such as posting about the service on TunnelBear’s Twitter.
Para iade garantisi: None. TunnelBear does not offer a money back guarantee, so a paid subscription carries real risk.
📌 Not: Published TunnelBear cost figures elsewhere list $9.99 monthly, $39.99 yearly and $120 for three years, with the annual plan auto-renewing at $59.88. Our table follows the CSV. Payment is credit card only since Bitcoin was dropped.
⚠️ Uyarı: With no refund policy, treat the free version as your trial. Test the nearest server and your streaming sites before you purchase TunnelBear.
TunnelBear'ın Başlıca Faydaları
What TunnelBear offers that Avast does not:
- Bağımsız denetimler: Cure53 has run security audits since 2016. Each security audit found issues, including critical ones, and those were then fixed.
- Sınırsız eş zamanlı bağlantı: The premium plan covers all your devices. No counting seats, no upgrade prompt at device six.
- A real free plan: The free version has a data limit, but it is the same VPN. Good enough to check speeds before paying.
- VigilantBear kill switch: It blocks all incoming and outgoing internet traffic until the VPN connection returns. That prevents data leaks.
- SplitBear split tunneling: Choose which apps or websites use the VPN and which use your normal connection.
- GhostBear stealth: It disguises VPN traffic to get past censorship. Expect slower download speeds while it runs.
- Transparency reports: TunnelBear publishes requests for user data and says it has never had any data to share.

Özellik Karşılaştırması
Here is where the two VPN providers actually split. We walk through ten areas that decide which VPN service fits your setup.
| Özellik | Avast VPN | TunnelBear |
|---|---|---|
| Başlangıç Fiyatı | Free / $49.99 first yr | Free / $3.33 mo |
| Ücretsiz Plan | ❌ (60 day trial instead) | ✅ |
| Sunucu Ağı | 34 ülkede ~700 kişi | 48 locations |
| Eşzamanlı Cihazlar | 10 | Sınırsız |
| Bağımsız Denetimler | ❌ | ✅ |
| Acil Durdurma Anahtarı | ✅ | ✅ |
| Bölünmüş Tünelleme | ❌ | ✅ SplitBear |
| Canlı Sohbet Desteği | ✅ | ❌ |
| Para İade Garantisi | ✅ | ❌ |
| En İyisi İçin | Avast users wanting one app | Beginners wanting a free plan |
1. Sunucu Ağı ve Konumları
Avast VPN: Around 700 Avast SecureLine VPN servers across 34 countries. Many VPNs run thousands, so your choice of exit point is thin. It is still wider coverage than TunnelBear on paper.
TunnelBear: 48 server locations, listed elsewhere as 47 countries. If you ever wonder how many servers sit behind those flags, TunnelBear does not publish a count. Picking a Canada server or a UK one lets you access global content, but any country TunnelBear skips is simply unavailable.
2. Hız ve Performans
Avast VPN: Performance is inconsistent. Nearby servers hold up well and distant ones drop off sharply. Avast tunes its network to avoid bandwidth throttling during heavy downloads.
TunnelBear: Download speeds average around 40% of the base speed across tested locations. Different servers vary a lot, and connection times can run past 10 seconds. Neither of these is a fast VPN, and neither promises a fast connection on distant hops.
⚠️ Uyarı: Run your own speed tests during the trial period. Stress tests on distant servers tell you far more than any published average.
3. Yayın Erişimi
Avast VPN: It can reach Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video, with mixed results on some libraries. Reports on Hulu and BBC iPlayer are weaker. Expect to switch servers.
TunnelBear: Netflix usually returns a proxy error, and Amazon Prime and Hulu are shaky too. Smaller platforms sometimes work. The data limit on the free plan also rules out long viewing sessions.
4. Güvenlik Özellikleri
Avast VPN: A kill switch cuts your connection if the tunnel fails. DNS leak protection and WebRTC leak protection are standard expectations here, and Avast covers the basics without much beyond them.
TunnelBear: AES-256 encryption, VigilantBear as the kill switch, and SplitBear for split tunneling. Your encrypted data stays unreadable even if someone intercepts it on TunnelBear’s servers. The privacy policy rules out logging DNS queries, IP addresses or browsing history.
5. Privacy Record and Independent Audits
Avast VPN: This is the weak spot. The no logs policy has no third-party audit behind it. In February 2024 the US Federal Trade Commission announced Avast would pay $16.5 million for compromising consumer privacy, tied to a subsidiary called Jumpshot that sold data collected by the antivirus without consent.
TunnelBear: Cure53 has run independent audits since 2016 and the findings were published and patched. It still collects operational data such as the OS version, app version and monthly data use, none of which identifies you. The catch is location: Canada belongs to the Five Eyes alliance, which exposes it to data requests from partner countries.
⚠️ Uyarı: Avast records timestamps, data volume and connection details, though not identifiable information. Without an independent audit, you are trusting the policy metin yalnız.
6. VPN Protokolleri
Avast VPN: OpenVPN, WireGuard and Mimic. The Mimic protocol dresses VPN traffic up as ordinary traffic, which helps on networks that block a VPN tunnel outright.
TunnelBear: OpenVPN and IKEv2 are confirmed. Sources disagree on WireGuard, and GhostBear handles obfuscation instead by making VPN traffic look like ordinary browser traffic, at a real cost to download speeds.
⚠️ Conflicting sources: Some documentation lists WireGuard among TunnelBear’s supported protocols. Other records state it is missing. Check the protocol list in your TunnelBear app version before you rely on it.
7. Cihaz Desteği ve Platformlar
Avast VPN: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Android TV, across multiple platforms with one account. Ten devices is the ceiling.
TunnelBear: Desktop and mobile apps, plus browser extensions for your browser of choice. Routers and Linux are out, which hurts if you want an Apple TV or console behind the tunnel.
8. Kullanım Kolaylığı
Avast VPN: A user-friendly application that is easy to navigate, especially for beginners. Smart VPN mode is the one setting worth learning, though some users report it misfiring.
TunnelBear: The world map interface is the friendliest in this category. Setup is short and nothing asks you to understand a protocol. The tutorial below walks through it.
9. Müşteri Desteği
Avast VPN: Support channels are wider, but satisfaction is not. Some users describe Avast’s customer support as unhelpful, and billing complaints show up often.
TunnelBear: Customer support runs through a web form and email, available around the clock but slow to answer. There is no live chat support. The FAQ library is deep enough to solve most common problems without the support team.
10. Fiyatlandırma ve Maliyet
Side by side, using our recorded plans.
| Plan | Avast VPN | TunnelBear |
|---|---|---|
| Özgür | Free Antivirus: Free | Free: testing and limited usage |
| Giriş ücreti ödendi. | Premium Güvenlik: 49,99$/ilk yıl | Sınırsız: 3,33$/ay |
| En üst seviye | Ultimate: 49,99$/ilk yıl | Ekipler: Kullanıcı başına aylık 5,75 ABD doları |
| Duruşma | 60 günlük ücretsiz deneme | Free plan with data limit |
Avast VPN: You are buying into a bundle. That works if you already want Avast products on the same machine, and it stings if you only want a VPN.
TunnelBear: $3.33/mo for unlimited data and unlimited devices is strong value for one household. The missing refund policy is the price you pay for that number.
Farklı Senaryolar
| İhtiyacınız varsa... | Seçmek | Neden |
|---|---|---|
| Web sitesinde net planlar mevcut. | TunnelBear | Free version, data limit applies |
| Audited privacy claims | TunnelBear | Cure53 audits since 2016 |
| A long trial before paying | Avast VPN | 60 günlük ücretsiz deneme |
| Android TV coverage | Avast VPN | Yerel Android TV uygulaması |
| Sınırsız cihaz | TunnelBear | No connection cap on premium |
| Auto-connect rules | Avast VPN | Akıllı VPN modu |
| Canlı sohbet desteği | Avast VPN | TunnelBear has none |
💰 Bütçeniz
TunnelBear is the cheaper entry at $3.33/mo, and its free account costs nothing at all. Avast asks for a bundle purchase, which only makes sense if you want the security suite too.
🔌 Teknoloji Altyapınız
Avast reaches Android TV and covers 10 devices per account. TunnelBear skips routers and Linux, so anything that is not a phone, laptop or browser stays outside the tunnel.
📝 Günlük Kullanımınız
For email, banking and public Wi-Fi, either is a good VPN for basic online privacy. For heavy torrenting servers or steady streaming, neither is the right pick.
🎓 Deneyim Seviyeniz
Both apps are beginner territory, and TunnelBear’s features in particular assume no prior VPN knowledge. Power users will find the settings list short on either side, and other VPN services give you far more to tune.
🆓 Ücretsiz Deneme Sürümleri ve Demolar
Avast’s 60 day trial needs payment information up front. TunnelBear’s free plan needs none, which is the lower-risk way to start.
🛟 Destek Seçenekleri
Avast has more channels but a mixed reputation for helpfulness. TunnelBear answers by email only from mobile devices or desktop, and replies can take a while. Both trail the bigger VPN services here.

İncelememizin Kapsamadığı Şeyler
We did not run controlled speed tests on either service for this piece, and we did not measure DNS leaks in a lab. Business deployments, router setups and Middle East censorship conditions are outside what we checked. TunnelBear coverage here leans on documentation rather than our own hands-on time, and both providers change server counts without notice.

🏆 WINNER: AVAST VPN
Avast VPN takes 4 of 7 categories and holds the higher rating at 3.7 against 3.5.
En uygun kullanım alanı: existing Avast users, households with up to 10 devices, people who want a long trial before paying
⚠️ Rating source note: Our CSV has no rating recorded for TunnelBear. The 3.5 used here comes from our published TunnelBear review. Avast’s 3.7 is the CSV value. We recommend adding the TunnelBear rating to the CSV row.
This is a narrow win, not a blowout. Avast VPN edges ahead on servers, platform reach and trial length, and that is mostly what separates them.
If audited privacy matters more to you than any of that, flip the result. TunnelBear is the only one of the two with published independent audits, and the FTC case still hangs over Avast.
Either way, both sit below the best VPNs on speed. If you need reliable streaming or heavy downloads, look at NordVPN or ExpressVPN yerine.
