TunnelBear will not allow you to enable GhostBear if your computer is running a custom proxy. If TunnelBear is already connected, you won't be able to enable GhostBear. If you don't need GhostBear to connect, turn it off for higher speeds. This is caused by the extra ‘scrambling’ needed to further obscure your encrypted connection.

Some speed loss is expected when GhostBear is enabled. Troubleshooting issues with GhostBear Slower connections: Then select "Options" and check off the GhostBear box. If you want to use GhostBear on Android, click on the "Menu" icon in the top left corner (the three horizontal stripes). Select "Settings" and then check off GhostBear. If you're using GhostBear on Windows or macOS, enter your TunnelBear preferences by selecting the Gear icon within the app (located on the left side of the app for Windows, and the top right corner for Mac). If you don't notice any improvement, please make sure to turn GhostBear back off before reaching out to our friendly Support Bears. If you’re not able to connect to TunnelBear or find that your bear can’t maintain a connection normally, we recommend that you try enabling GhostBear.

You’ll still be protected by the latest and greatest encryption technologies. Leaving GhostBear off doesn’t make you less secure. If you’re already able to connect to TunnelBear without enabling GhostBear, you should NOT enable GhostBear. Using GhostBear when it's not needed can make your connection slower or cause it to not work at all. GhostBear is not available for iOS due to restrictions in the way iOS is designed.
