As a matter of experimentation, I did discover that it's still a good idea to turn off IPv6 and set my DNS to something I trusted. However, once this is done, everything will typically just work. The configuration files must be imported one at a time into Network Manager, and you will need to supply your user name and password. You'll need to hang on to the entire set so that you can connect to the different servers.
Ultimately, you'll want to download the latest TunnelBear OpenVPN configuration files and import them. That being said, the instructions are clear and will work on the most common distributions.

If you can afford to pay for one year at a time, then you can get a pretty significant discount that brings the price to $4.99 per month.

Along with the no-frills front end, you'll also be settling for no BitTorrent support and a performance number that was merely middling when compared to NordVPN (for Linux) and Private Internet Access VPN (for Linux), our Editors' Choice winners in this category. The product charges $9.99 for its Giant service tier, which seems a little steep since, even though its overall back-end functionality remains similar, the Linux front end lacks a graphical user interface (GUI), making configuration a bit of a chore. As a Linux virtual private network (VPN), it remains a solid choice but leaves a little to be desired when compared to what the company offers for more mainstream operating systems (OSes). TunnelBear did well when we reviewed its Windows and Mac incarnations, standing out on performance and also including a bunch of cute bears where we usually see some hacker-oriented, Matrix-style art.
