Despite BulletVPN's sudden closure, customers can still sign up for a free membership with another company.
Investing in a VPN entails more than merely anticipating connection encryption and anonymity. You want to be able to use your VPN for as long as you have paid for it, and if you have purchased a lifetime membership, you can assume that this will be the case.
Although the major VPN companies don't sell lifetime offers, many of their smaller rivals do, primarily as a marketing tactic to increase their clientele and possibly eventually compete with the best VPNs. After all, whether it's encryption, streaming support, or gaming VPNs, they're controlling the industry.
"This decision was made after careful evaluation of several variables, including shifts in market demand, evolving technical requirements, and sustainability of operations," according to a statement posted on BulletVPN's website.
Despite being unexpected, the news that BulletVPN's servers have been shut down takes impact right away. This implies that the client ought to have ceased functioning if you were a subscriber to BulletVPN. It also means that your internet connection's guaranteed encryption is no longer available.
Positively, users with active subscriptions can take use of a complimentary 6-month membership with rival VPN Windscribe, which can be extended into a cheap long-term plan. Current BulletVPN members are encouraged to get in touch with support@bulletvpn.com if they would want to take advantage of this offer.
You might assume that Windscribe has acquired BulletVPN because the lifetime VPN provider was shut down so quickly after the issue over VPN Secure's cancelation of lifetime plans. The release, however, makes it plain that Windscribe has neither purchased BulletVPN nor taken over any portion of its business. Additionally, Windscribe has not received any user data, such as email addresses or account information.
