Free Secure Browsing for Digital Rights Defenders
The fight for an open and uncensored internet is strongest when technologists, activists, and organizations combine their talents. As such, we're doing our part to provide our allies with the secure browsing environment necessary to effect real change in this space. We’re proud to empower their network to the tune of free TunnelBear annual accounts.
Are you an organization that provides counsel to activists, journalists, and human rights defenders fighting against cyber-censorship? If so, we want to hear from you.

- Kristi Arbogast, Community Manager at D4D CoalitionThe Design 4 Democracy (D4D) Coalition connects global grassroots civil society organizations and technology companies to tackle some of the most pressing democratic issues. D4D does this, in part, through serving as a tech request and content escalation channel for members, while also connecting tech companies with members who can provide on the ground contextual knowledge from around the world. Our partnership with TunnelBear has proved invaluable in this, as their VPN services have enabled our members to safely do their work while also being able to inform TunnelBear of new threats.
