Automated TunnelBear Renewal Tracking

Every Monday, WebRun opens your TunnelBear account, checks the subscription renewal date and this month's data usage, archives the latest invoice to Google Drive, and posts a renewal summary to Slack so the plan never lapses without anyone noticing.

In short

How do I track my team's TunnelBear renewal date and usage?

WebRun checks your TunnelBear subscription every Monday for its renewal date, data usage, and auto renew status, archives the latest invoice to Google Drive, and posts a summary to Slack. It never touches billing itself, so your team always sees the renewal date coming instead of losing VPN access mid week.

  • Renewal date gets checked every week instead of expiring by surprise
  • Data usage is visible before a device gets throttled
  • Every invoice is archived automatically in Google Drive

Questions, answered

Does WebRun renew the plan or update billing details?

No. WebRun never touches billing or payment on your TunnelBear account. It only reports the renewal date so your team can act before it lapses.

Does it flag if we're close to the data cap?

Yes. It reports this month's data usage every week, so a plan approaching its cap is visible before connections start getting throttled.

What if auto renew is already on?

It still posts the renewal date and marks auto renew as on, so the team knows it will renew on its own.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
