    I had this as a lifetime plan. Although it kinda worked, It was never good. Very few servers, very slow speed, god awful apps/extension, and none of the servers close to me. I would use it as a backup of a backup. So the usage was very low.

    They suddenly went dark, idk for how long. Then they came back. I decided to give it a try after I figured I should check if anything was working again. It worked but still shit and even less servers to choose from.

    Yeh, I’m good. Never used it again.

    It’s a surprise to me it was listed on sale and probably sold for 6 figures.

    This is a clusterfuck. Let me get things straight: They bought a company without due research, got screwed (or so they say) in the deal and the customers are somehow the ones to pay? Like it’s MY fault that YOU didn’t do your job?

    Way to ruin your reputation as a company.

    On a side note tho, a vpn lifetime sub for only $40 didn’t sound sus to people buying it?

      It was only $40??
      Geez, just refund those folks at a minimum. They’re going to lose way more off the negative PR.

    Enshitification.

    Also this is what PE firms do. They buy companies and consume until it’s all gone and move onto the next target.
