Ask yourself how a business can provide you a lifetime of a service that requires powerful servers running in expensive data ceners connected to a fat data pipe in multiple locations throughout the world, with technical expertise, customer service and legal expertise for a one-off payment of €14. It simply isn't remotely possible. They will close, or open a new service and mothball the old, or provide you with a service that is not what was promised, or sell your data, or more likely a combination of the above. It's simple economics - you cannot provide a longterm quality VPN service for €14. if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

I have a lifetime KeepSolid account since April 2018, coming to 2 years, still working away. I paid $18 at that time, so definitely got my money worth. Just to be clear, I only use it for streaming from certain services. I have surfshark too, good VPN as well.

I need to download a few torrents weekly (Linux Distros :pac: ) and I have had very hit & miss with successfully being able to use the VPN. I had for a while very good results using one of the French ones that was marked for torrents, but lately I get 0 speed until I switch off the VPN.
