I never believe those lifetime BS anyway. Don't fall for it.

  Agreed. I do have a lifetime web hosting account that was purchased off of one of those same deal sites. However, the only reason I use it is because my usage of it is so minimal that I don’t really care if they ever shut it off. Lifetime service has to either be so expensive that it’s paid for by basically an endowment (interest income on your original payment is enough to cover the cost in perpetuity) or simply a Ponzi scheme (your service is paid for by people who have signed up this year). There’s no third option (that’s sustainable). The only other category would be situations where the service itself is now a money loser overall because growth stopped. Obviously exactly this happened to the original company and that’s how they ended up selling their assets. For something as small potatoes as a cheapo VPN subscription, I’d be amused by anybody who wasted their time trying to sue somebody over this. I bet the company sold certain assets rather than sell itself outright. Meaning the beef of these “lifetime” users is going to be with a defunct, broke, company. Good luck forcing them to provide you with lifetime VPN service or a refund.
