This is exactly why I’m skeptical of “lifetime” deals - they rarely last. I’ve been using vpn unlimited devices on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) with their unlimited device support, and honestly it’s been mostly positive. Setup across devices was straightforward, speeds are decent for streaming, and the multi-device feature actually works well for my family. Had occasional connection hiccups and support took a day to respond once, but overall it’s reliable and good value. Much better than risking a “lifetime” subscription getting canceled.

VPNSecure is the company.

Is this even legal? I mean people paid for the lifetime version.

This is going to be Plex Pass in a few years if Plex sells out even more

I assume most companies write somewhere in their terms that "lifetime" means effectively "whenever the fuck we want".

If there is a company that uses the word lifetime properly they may be worth a mention.

I remember when AT&T had "unlimited" data when the original iPhone came out and severely underestimated how much data people used.

Today, every cell phone provider has an "unlimited" plan and in the fine print says "up to x GB, after which you will be throttled."

That shit should be illegal.
