TunnelBear 4.1.3
- A little mystery helps keep a relationship exciting, so to keep the romance alive between you and your Bear, we've made some changes we think you're going to like. We just can't tell you about them yet. Shhhhh, it's a secret. No bears added this release. Ok, maybe a little one.


TunnelBear 4.1.2
- Staying indoors for the winter gives you a lot of time to get stuff done. Like finally getting around to hanging that picture that’s been sitting on the floor in the den for six months. Or moving your couch around to create a more inviting social area. Or maybe adding new Upgrade buttons to the Account Settings page TunnelBear’s free version. While we were at it, we updated the nav menu to feel more like a native Windows 10 app. We’ve also had a bit of a bug feast.

Fixed bugs:
- No more out of data popups to paid TunnelBear owners

TunnelBear 4.1.0
- For this release, the Bears finally get to move into their new home. Bears don't move often, so it's an exciting time when they do. They've got more space to move around, throw parties, and keep track of all their tunnels. You can visit the Bears new home just by updating your TunnelBear app. You may notice that your Bear feels a little faster, more self-confident, and is always ready to tunnel to an exciting new place.
