I believe it might have something to do with people complaining about the "lifetime" aspect of the offer, plus Stacksocial trying to avoid such overhead on their own support.
Same here. Got another five years without discussion about a forthnight ago.
Wrote them via chat and they reacivated the account for another five years in seconds.
(stacksocial lifetime)
Thank you. It seems they changed their attitude regarding this offer.
Changed or were made to change their attitude regarding the deal (Trustpilot reviews, Stacksocial). But yeah, at least people are getting their lifetime now. Or at least another 5 years, whereafter we'll again have to see..
Interestingly in the app my account still says it is active till February '23. On their site the next due date is correct. If it lasts another 5 years the 16$ were well spend.
Till now only RA4WVPN of my lifetime subscriptions died without even last words. (Which had a working port forwarding.)
the port forwarding is actually quite generous considering you can use all ports. i have it on a cheap VPS that i’m using as a seedbox. i was having trouble with openvpn though so i’m using ikev2
only problem is purevpn has no torrenting servers anywhere near north america that also support port forwarding
Yeah, RA4W is also the only ltd that died out for me and I don't really count it, since I basically never used it.
lifetime subscriptions died:LightyearVPN,Boxne SSD Hosting,CasVPN,TigerVPN,RA4W VPN
Windscribe just emailed me $29/year right now for their Pro reoccurring.
It's not lifetime, but it's a great deal. Offer Valid til May 1st

And what did you think about this deal ?
Slick lifetime subscription -> 19$
https://stacksocial.com/sales/slickvpn-lifetime-subscription
it’s not half as good as ivacy so i’d say not worth it
I'd also skip it. Ivacy is likely way better.
guys any good VPN deals to buy now?
Keepsolid for 100$ if still available. Solid lifetime.
If you didn't get it for cheap on Stacksocial, get it now before they'll remove it some time, too.
link to the offer?
Unfortunately it seems it currently is back to 199$ again. But I'm sure they'll do another 99$ sale sometime. Keep track of this page: https://www.vpnunlimited.com/lifetime
They have stopped offering lifetime on Stacksocial, and not because they got bad reviews (like Ivacy). They are very stable and performant VPN provider, but they only sell lifetime on their own Homepage now (before on stacksocial was 39.99$ or sometimes even 15$).
Too bad missed it. Is this any good?

I have not tested SlickVPN. I guess it works. Upon some investigations the address behind it is in USA.
Keep in mind every VPN sold on Stacksocial now works. Nobody knows about the future. One can see it as an investment, or as a gamble.
In my opinion there will always be lifetimes. Even if some companies will fall, other investors will create startups to take their place and sell their own lifetimes. So it is more a matter of perspective for you as a consumer, since obviously you wish to buy the "longest" and the "strongest" lifetime, as you wish to feel good as consumer but also small investor who benefits more from their own investment in lifetimes.
To try and guess which lifetime will last, just look at what investors do, and what company does.
Please use a VPN (any VPN) and stay safe. The future is not bright with all the economic turmoil caused by corrupted politicians and greedy corporations (maybe I am wrong, I want to be wrong). Meanwhile I hope this opinion helps.
Since you joined in 2015 you might have missed "just a few" of my Keepsolid Lifetime VPN sale threads haha
But yeah, now only the more expensive option directly through their website is left. Nobody knows how long they will keep selling lifetime on their website as they have pulled out from Stacksocial. While now, they won't have to pay a cut to Stacksocial, lifetime isn't sustainable in the long-run although I am sure they have a lot of subscription customers, too.
What I am trying to say, now that lifetime is gone from Stacksocial, they can pull the plug on lifetime any time (and maybe they will, maybe not). I only know that I am happy I snagged Windscribe before they discontinued their lifetime plans. I'm not sure if I would pay 200$ for Keepsolid lifetime as that's a huge upfront payment (not that I doubt they will be around for more years to come). For 99$ on sale, I'd probably just get it, even if others paid only 15$ or 40$ via Stacksocial. Likewise, I imagine there are many who would happily buy Windscribe lifetime for 99$ if it was available again.
One thing: With Keepsolid/Stacksocial you won't get any crappy "5 year lifetime" or the like.
You also won't get an expiry date like with Windscribe, where lifetime users still have expiry dates set in 3-5 years ahead, which, however, gets extended automatically (if you are an active user?).
Keepsolid is solid. That means they just put lifetime. That's it.
Only OpenVPN as Protocol.
"If a valid DMCA complaint is received while the offending connection is still active, we stop the session and notify the active user of that session, otherwise we are unable to act on any complaint as we have no way of tracking down the user."
So they can not track down the user, but can notify him?
"We operate a complex business structure with multiple layers of Offshore Holding Companies, Subsidiary Holding Companies, and finally some Operating Companies to help protect our interests. We will not disclose the exact hierarchy of our corporate structures, but will say the main marketing entity for our business is based in the United States of America and an operational entity is based out of Nevis."
Security by obscurity?
Thank @Ympker, the vpn is worth every penny. Speed is ok, port forwarding is great
Happy to hear
Am I supposed to have this grayed out? I bought ivacy lifetime some time ago.

"Your Settings:
You donot have Port Forwarding included in your package. Click here to get."
There's no link on "here" lol.
Probably, yes. I also have an old lifetime Ivacy from 2017 and one from the recent sale. The one from 2017 came without pf, the recent one included it as a free addonm
boooo
I always liked it.
Brandable, a sense of humour and kind of descriptive; be underground; hide.
Request to OP: if any of the VPN deals include port forwarding, include that in the subject for most eyeballs. I'm holding out for port forwarding VPN's from now on only.
Thanks
So I guess there was a date cutoff for port forwarding (older accounts don't have, vs newer do?)
I just checked mine from 2019 and it appears I have port forwarding.
