Clear TunnelBear Cache on Mac
Clearing the TunnelBear cache helps when the app connects slowly, shows an outdated server list, or its log folder keeps growing. Quit the app first, then clear only the cache and log files, and leave your account and plan untouched.
Clear the TunnelBear cache without guessing

TunnelBear cache folders you can clear
TunnelBear has no separate cache folder. Its folders hold settings and your own data, so there is nothing to clear safely by hand.
What the TunnelBear cache holds
Specific to TunnelBear
The app's support folder holds small settings, logs and cache data, and the app stores only small files locally. Its data typically takes 100 MB – 500 MB. The cache and log parts are the ones that grow or go stale over time. If the app offers its own option to clear the cache or logs, use that first, because it avoids touching files by hand. Otherwise, quit the app before removing anything from the folder.
What changes after you clear the TunnelBear cache
Your plan and data allowance are tied to your account, not this Mac, so they stay as they are. The VPN configuration and network extension that the app added to macOS are separate and stay registered until the app is removed, so clearing the cache does not remove them. Open the app afterwards and check that it connects and shows the current server list. You may need to sign in again if the app asks, but this depends on what the app stores.
