There are a number of things that separate TunnelBear from the rest. Its user interface, for instance, is straightforward, a thing that is apparently too much to expect from a tool of this league. Interestingly, TunnelBear doesn’t fully work as a traditional VPN tool. Quite the contrary, it only encrypts the data streaming to your browser and out of it.

(Oh, and don’t tell him you use an iPhone....

The iOS app, though, is heavily limited by comparison (and, of course, Truemessenger can’t even exist on iOS). Truecaller can’t really scan calls or actively look at your call log. But if you’re using iOS 8 and up, there is one simple way for looking up any unknown number from your call log. Or any contact that you copy to your clipboard. This is nowhere near as helpful as Truecaller just flashing all the details while you get the call, but it’s something....

Wozniak is believed to have sold his HP calculator for USD 500 and Jobs sold his VW microbus (and was ready to sell a bicycle too).
