Do not trust a company that refuses to honor their past subscription options, if they cannot aquire a company correctly do not expect to provide a good value product. Paying for a life time subscription (Even if it was technically 20 years) should be honored at least on an optics level, it just shows the terrible leadership.

VN Secure promised lifetime access and backtracked on their promise. Well, if you are loosing money because you sold lifetime access then don't offer it and do a research. ou could have keep the lifetime access and get new customers, not to drive your existing customers off. Well, good luck, worst customer experience. Definitely won't be coming back, or recommend your service.

Three years ago I purchased a lifetime subscription. "LIFETIME" does not mean "as long as we feel like it". You have a duty to refund your customers for deactivating their accounts.

Not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. The company welcomed replies and bounced back emails. When I wrote their support directly with my concerns they gave me a very pointed, borderline rude reply.
We can make statements with AI too... Some food for thought - not enough characters to give the full breakdown, but it looks like they are likely liable despite denying liability. Here is the extremely summarized version.
"Despite VPN Secure's claims of an asset-only purchase and ignorance regarding "Lifetime Deals" (LTDs), they are highly likely to be held liable for these obligations. This is due to the "mere continuation" doctrine, as they operated under the same brand, offered identical services, and customers were initially unaware of any ownership change. The company even acknowledged the perception of being the same entity and supported LTD accounts for two additional years, further solidifying the argument for successor liability given the original entity's likely dissolution."

First of all, I wouldn’t trust most negative reviews on them. A lot of these folks signed up for a “lifetime” subscription to a VPN service more years ago than they can count (I did it too). Before their acquisition I had quit using the VPN so many years before because it was so bad. I thought the email sent out couldn’t have been better about clearly laying out their “asset only” purchase and was clear about stating the terms of such. I thought it was incredibly vulnerable and human of them and for that, they have my respect. But sharks will be sharks and they sensed that vulnerability and instead of showing support have review bombed them. I personally opted to renew for 3 years at $55 which is far below even the basic tiers of their competitors. I did end up requesting a refund after several days of issues setting up the VPN but the customer service I received was both professional and timely and I appreciate that. Once I asked for a refund it was refunded in no time and the subscription was cancelled. I really wish the best for the new owners and hope they can find new customers willing to pay a fair price for a VPN service.

Do not buy from this company. I paid for a lifetime subscription and they removed access to their services. Completely screwing me over. I switched to surf shark and haven't had a problem. Yes it is more expensive but they haven't screwed me like Secure did.

Oh, boo hoo, you're the victims now? You kept lifetime accounts that people paid for active for two years, even though they weren’t making you money. Yet, you retained the company name, website, branding, logo, and user base and reputation and now you get to offload the liabilities, namely the lifetime accounts, while still pretending to be the victim?
Is this all because it's taking too long to turn a profit? You could have honoured the existing lifetime accounts and simply stopped offering new ones which would’ve solved the problem in the long run. But no, you had to squeeze every last penny out of the very people who helped build your reputation.
You also had the option of disabling inactive accounts temporarily and allowing users to reactivate if they chose to a far more reasonable and ethical approach.
People buy VPNs for privacy and trust. And whichever “genius” thought this move was smart has now eroded all remaining trust down to the bare bones. Well done. And I don't need to mention if you were going for bad press for popularity the VPN Market is the least favourable for that.
And spare us the “we didn’t know there were lifetime accounts” excuse. If you genuinely bought a company and didn’t uncover that in your due diligence, then you’re either incompetent or you think your customers are idiots. But I don’t believe you’re fools, I think you're just playing the fool to dodge accountability.
I want a full list of the other companies you own so we can shame those too because I won't be surprised if this scam is your business model. This kind of unethical, deceptive behaviour needs to be publicly condemned to discourage other shitty company owners like you from doing this sort of thing.

New management is a bunch of scumbags.
They killed the lifetime subscription I had and throws their lack of research before their purchase on the customers...

Reply from VPN Secure
Bought a lifetime license in October 2020, and they removed my access.
The company is now claiming that they didn't know about lifetime subscriptions sold between 2015 and 2017, but this has nothing to do with my purchase.
There are way better VPN providers out there. Avoid VPN Secure.

if you buy a company, you dont get to decide what parts of it you inherit, you cant decide to not get the liabilities because you just said you dont want them, you said you didnt notice them in the profit and loss, because its in the assets and liabilities, you either pretend to be stupid or hired some third rate lawyers and accountants that didnt look at the assets and liabilities

I have read many of the replies the company has made to other reviews and lets be clear this is a due-diligence issue. The acquiring company failed and is now punishing consumers because of it. Hiding behind the legal defense because "technically" they are within their right to do this. Just because its legal does not make it right. Many things in history were legal but not ethical.
At the end of the day, if they are willing to screw you over on this they will screw you over on anything if it hurts the bottom line.
Do not do business with a blatantly unethical company.
Keeping it running for two years isn't an act of good will, its a bare minimum facade to try and save face for a problem they caused themselves.
If the LTD customers would put them out of business then realistically they should have just went down with the ship as it is their own fault for not reading the fine print, they had access to the financials they knew what they were getting as much as they may claim to not know the info was all there whether they paid attention to it or not. At least going out of business is a justifiable excuse for not honoring the lifetime deal.
Edit:
You may not see this as its an edit but I read your response and do understand where you are coming from. If that is true and in an asset only sale you do not see the contracts and obligations of the company who's assets your buying then you successfully managed to buy your self a problem which is unfortunate but a risk you take buying other peoples failures.
I would say in that case you would have been better off just keeping the assets closing down "VPN Secure" and opening it as a new business with a new name as that is effectively what happened here but cloaked under the guise of this still being "VPN Secure" the original company that people bought into.
In a business area like VPN service where reputation is everything and makes or breaks the business this was a fairly big oversight to completely tank the rep of the business you bought rather than just starting fresh with a new name with no recognition which is likely what you will end up having to do now, but this will likely follow you to any other VPN company you start as the people who don't honor lifetime deals even though that is not technically what happened here.
Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose if you really didn't find all this out until a bit into operating the service then that is unfortunate but that is the inherit risk of continuing to use a name that people trust. That trust whether warranted or not gets transferred to you.
I sympathize to a degree but I still maintain that its unethical to operate a company under the same name without taking that company's liabilities as the name itself is the brand and the brand is built on trust so if you aren't going to honor the original agreements the trust and reputation that brand garnered is destroyed. I do understand however that this is not what you set out to do when acquiring the assets of VPN Secure but ultimately that is what happened and in this day and age when every company possible is trying to wriggle out of life time commitments like VMWare in the name of higher profits its harder for people to believe it was not intentional.

Disgraceful company who violate consumer rights by cancelling previous lifetime memberships because they want to make more money.

I've bought a lifetime subscription a few years ago - last month my vpn suddenly stopped working without any warning. Later next day I've got an email saying a new company bought vpnsecure and claimed they didn't know about the lifetime subscriptions at the time of the purchase but out of the kindess of their hearts they kept the service running but now they had to cancel and if I want to have the service back here is a new subscription plan. Also if I wanted to contact them here is an email address - obviously I've sent an email immediately which bounced back as it's a "no-reply" email. Now I see the new owner claims they didn't buy the actual company only it's assets so they are not liable to honor previous contracts - my problem is if they continue to use the vpnsecure branding they should have honored those lifetime contracts otherwise they risk quite a backlash - just as it happened. If they bought assets only they should have sent an email long time ago saying this company is going to disappear because of a buyout, we switch off the service on X date (in the future, not the prev. day!), if you want to come over to our new vpn provider here is a link for a discounted subscription. I guess they wanted to keep the branding but not the baggage with it and it backfired in a completely predictable manner.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed. Y'all are a bunch of scammers! It's insane how delusional you have to be to try to upsell your LTDs after scamming them.
Also can you at least have the valour to write your own replies instead of chatGPT? Thanks!

Reply from VPN Secure
Thanks for revoking the lifetime VPN using chatgpt 3.5 not even the premium chatgpt one

How does users that have not used their accounts for 6 months cost you money?
I think your logic is flawed, but im sure your brainstorm session about what excuse to use went great, you probably had some great laughs, there was probably clapping, and money signs in your eyes.
I think you just sunk your own battleship, not using your service ever again

I purchased a lifetime license that was cancelled by the new ownership, when they acquired the company. They claim they bought only the assets, and not the liabilities of the prior ownership. Not sure how it works in Australia or Dubai, but in the US you acquire both and must honor all contracts, unless the company has gone through bankruptcy. Very disappointed in the new ownership and will not recommend or do business with them in the future.

Your corporate problem should not be your customer's problem. I agree with Louis — this is a pathetic company, and your ignorance and incompetence when acquiring a company should never become your customers' issue.

Reply from VPN Secure
VPNSecure sold lifetime licenses and then one fine day without any warning my VPN stops working. No communication or notice or anything. When looking around I find posts from many people experiencing the same issues. I understand that the company got bought over but it seems the new owners didn’t honor existing contracts! There are a lot of BS arguments put forth by the company that this was an asset only sale, but it just shows that their legal team is either incompetent that they didn’t see or this is a way to extract more money from people. I would never do business with them again.
