I also had a lifetime subscription. I think like with many of these things, they might’ve included a usage monitor rather than a carte blanche closing of accounts. I rarely used it once someone told me Opera had a built in VPN but it’d still be nice to have it available. I would’ve used less than 1gb a year, maybe less than 100mb. I haven’t used at all in in the last three years. What harm does my account bring to their financial outcome?
Comment on VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

I was a VPNSecure with a lifetime subscription that was canceled by them recently. I was annoyed by the experience, but I also admit that I paid about $25 IIRC and that was over 5 years ago.
I used it occasionally as a backup and it was nice to have, but I definitely got my monies worth.

Yeah. I bought it at least 5 years ago as well for fairly cheap. I ended switching a few years ago because I had problems with my IP leaking, customer service wouldn’t back to me, and I noticed the canary page went blank, so I assumed that something happened to them.
