Tunnel Bear is a VPN service. It looks like a sponsor Linus might want to use. Their marketing seems to fit in with the atmosphere of Linus Tech Tips.

Don't know if I can post this here though. I've used Tunnel Bear, it's great, and I would recommend it. And it's fairly inexpensive if you get their annual deal!

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Tunnelbear is cheap but you will get limited servers or even speed. It is more renowned as free vpn and they keep logs. If you want 100% online anonymity and over 100 bservers across globe then you should look at Industry's leading VPN providers like IPVanish or PureVPN. They provide you 7 day money back gurantee. They have servers in over 100 countries.

Purevpn is absolutely terrible. I just switched to expressvpn and it's so much better

Can you hook these VPN services up to Linux easily and use standard firewalling rules (ie: IPtables, etc.) with them?  With openvpn?  Or do they use some Windows installer that basically sets everything up for you? 

You can use expressvpn in linux without any client. Although I do recommend the application which espressvpn has for linux! Don't know about tunnelbear but I would think you can.
