Summary: Tunnello VPN is Recommended

For free VPN services, I think TunnelBear is famous, but Tunnello can solve the need to use VPN only for browsers, so it would be good to use them properly.

As a side note, I learned about Tunnello through Product Hunt newsletter. I’ve been studying English recently and read the Product Hunt newsletter daily, which I also recommend.

That’s all from the Gemba.
