Haha - No thanks. The fact that TunnelBear rely on reviews from the MSM, who are gvt mouthpieces defending the NSA spying through sneaky wording techniques, this just puts me off. I mean come-on, they're getting Yahoo to vouch for them? With the amount of hacks Yahoo have had recently! Yahoo didn't even use SSL between their severs for christ's sakes... and not to mention the NSA are all over their users' data!

I like the idea, and the interface is attractive. But only a solid review from the likes of TorrentFreak (or a similar 'forward-thinking' media outlet) would reassure me enough. Does TunnelBear even accept cryptocurrency?
