@rubenmdh as @sgheghele said: they didn't terminate lifetime users. They stopped offering it to new customers (the offer/plan was removed).

That makes sense, wish I was there at the right time, even if I don't use commercial VPNs often (Image)

No, they offered lifetime for a limited period of time, then stopped offering it further, once it became popular. These already sold lifetime accounts are still going strong. They are even offering di

Just ordered a lifetime Rootserver (Germany) in addition to my Lifetime LXC (Finland), now that we can upgrade to latest OS with Netboot (thanks @rootnet !).

It seems like near enough all are obsolete for the lifetime servers, although it's not really surprising as they would have been just old/cheap stock. Even if it lasts ~2 years it would work out to be
