公共WiFi上網怕被盜資料?TunnelBear VPN 能做什麼

TunnelBear for Windows 軟體圖示 TunnelBear for Windows 3.0.37.12 資料更新 2017-09-13 閱讀約 6 分鐘

出門在外連上咖啡廳或機場的免費WiFi,想收個信、登入網銀,手指卻停在輸入密碼那一步——總覺得這種開放網路不太安全,好像有人在旁邊看。你需要的不是防毒軟體,而是把這條網路連線變成只有自己看得懂的加密通道,讓別人截到的只是一堆亂碼。這就是VPN軟體存在的理由,而TunnelBear正是以「簡單到連熊都會用」為設計出發點的工具。

一般人的直覺是找免費VPN,但免費方案往往流量少、速度慢,甚至有些會偷看你的瀏覽紀錄。另一條路是研究那些功能滿滿的專業VPN,但介面複雜、設定一堆,對只想「按一下就連上」的人來說門檻太高。TunnelBear的切入點很直接:把伺服器畫成一張世界地圖,上面有可愛的熊圖示,點哪隻熊就連到哪個國家,連線狀態一目瞭然,把VPN最麻煩的部分藏起來。

01TunnelBear 連上之後,我上網到底會發生什麼事?

連上後,你裝置進出的網路資料都會被加密,ISP、網路管理員或試圖竊聽的人看到的只會是無法辨識的亂碼。同時你的虛擬位置會變成你選擇的伺服器所在地,網站和廣告服務無法用你原本的IP追蹤你的行為。簡單說,你在公共WiFi上輸入的密碼和個人資料,不會以明文方式在網路上流動。

02它除了加密,還有沒有其他保護隱私的功能?

有兩項。VigilantBear(Kill Switch)會在VPN連線突然中斷時自動切斷你的網路,避免資料在沒有保護的狀態下洩漏出去。GhostBear則是把VPN流量偽裝成一般網路流量,讓網站或政府比較難偵測到你在用VPN。另外官方宣稱有嚴格的無日誌政策,也就是他們不記錄你的上網活動。

03我想看其他國家的Netflix影片庫,用它可以嗎?

官方說明中明確表示,透過它的全球伺服器網路,可以存取不同國家的Netflix影片庫。它提供超過40個國家的伺服器位置,你只要在世界地圖上點選想連的國家,就能以該國的虛擬位置存取當地內容。不過實際能不能成功解鎖,會受到Netflix當下的偵測機制影響,這點官方沒有保證。

04它免費嗎?免費和付費差在哪?

有免費方案,但每月只有500MB的流量,對輕度使用(收信、查資料)勉強夠用,看影片或大量下載很快就會用完。付費方案則提供無限流量、更多伺服器選擇、城市級別的伺服器選取,以及優先客服支援。付費後最多可以同時連線10台裝置,免費方案能連幾台官方說明中沒有提到。

05我可以在手機和電腦上同時用它嗎?

可以。它支援Windows、macOS、Android、iOS,還有Chrome和Firefox的瀏覽器擴充功能。付費帳號可以同時連線最多10台裝置,也就是說你筆電、手機、平板加起來不超過10台,都能在同一個帳號下使用。安裝時需要先到官網註冊帳號,再下載對應裝置的版本。

06什麼樣的人會覺得這套軟體好用?

適合不想研究VPN技術細節、只想「開啟程式、點一下熊、就完成保護」的人。它的介面只有一張世界地圖和熊圖示,沒有複雜的設定選單。如果你只是偶爾在公共WiFi上網、想跨區看個影片、或不想讓ISP知道你瀏覽了什麼,這種直覺式的操作會比功能繁多的專業VPN更容易上手。

07它適合拿來下載種子(torrenting)嗎?

官方說明表示,它允許在某些伺服器上進行torrenting,但並非所有伺服器都支援。如果你有下載種子的需求,需要先查閱他們的政策和伺服器清單,確認哪些位置允許。另外要注意,免費方案的500MB流量限制對下載檔案來說幾乎不夠用,這部分要自行評估。

08我在中國或網路管制很嚴格的國家,它能翻牆嗎?

官方說明特別提到,雖然有GhostBear混淆技術,但「不保證」在像中國這樣高度管制的國家能正常運作。也就是說,它做了讓VPN流量比較難被偵測的設計,但面對深度封鎖的環境,能不能連上、連上後穩不穩定,官方沒有背書。如果你主要需求是翻牆,這套軟體不是有把握的選擇。

09它的介面是中文的嗎?我看不懂英文會不會很難操作?

這套軟體的介面語言是英文,官方資料中沒有提到支援中文。不過它的操作非常簡單——開啟程式、登入帳號、點地圖上的熊圖示,這幾個動作不太需要閱讀大量文字。但如果你對英文介面感到不安,或需要閱讀說明檔案、設定進階選項,英文能力不足可能會造成障礙。

10它跟其他VPN比起來,使用者評價如何?

在收錄的評分中,它獲得7/10分,共有134人評分。同類軟體中,Betternet有359人評分、Windscribe有106人評分、Avira Phantom VPN有79人評分、Hide.me VPN有78人評分。它的評分人數不算多,樣本數有限,但分數不算差。如果你在意社群共識,可以參考評分人數更多的選項。

11它的更新頻率如何?會不會很久沒維護?

收錄的版本紀錄顯示,從最早版本到最近一次更新,時間跨度很長,但近12個月只更新了1次,近24個月也只更新了1次。這代表它的開發維護步調偏慢,不是那種頻繁推出新功能或快速修漏洞的軟體。如果你很在意安全性更新是否即時,這點需要列入考量。

12我該不該選它,還是直接挑評分人數更多的軟體?

這取決於你的優先順序。它的優勢是操作極簡、有免費方案、跨平台支援廣;但它的授權型式是Demo(試用版),介面只有英文,更新頻率低,而且評分人數在同類軟體中偏少。如果你想要的是長期穩定、更新頻繁、社群回饋多的VPN,Betternet(359人評分)或Windscribe(106人評分)可能是更多人驗證過的選擇。
