VPN firm says it didn't know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.<p><pre><code> Lifetime subscriptions that get canceled. Unlimited data plans that are really limited. Unlimited storage that is actually limited. Perpetual software licenses that are no longer supported. &quot;Free&quot; software licenses with no support of any kind whatsoever.</code></pre>

I was one of the affected customers, guy offered me 2 years subscription at cost zero, it&#x27;s something, but I will never trust this company again, neither lifetime subscriptions.<p>Same with web hosting, nice 30 bucks deal some years ago, ended this year, saying they cannoy support the costs anymore, wow, who would guess that a business is not profitable when you give stuff away.

Just like receipts that fade so you can prove that lifetime warranty on items, I guess now you have online and digital receipts but if you buy at the store they fade overtime. Maybe it’s cheap ink or paper but I know how businesses are, they probably do it on purpose

Lifetime VPN is roughly on par with Nigerian princes on credibility.<p>This isn&#x27;t even the only one that went down like this on stacksocial. Got scammed by a different one (forgot name). Lifetime somehow turned into $1 a month
