January 2024 (Partially updated)

All VPN Lifetime Deals should be cheaper to purchase on the likes of Stacksocial rather than on their official site. "Honey" Chrome plugin can find discount codes for Stacksocial.

In this chart I want to give an overview of the Lifetime VPN deals I have purchased and rate them according to different criteria. I'll try to update the rating ever so often. A rating of (+++++) is the best, (+) the worst.

A VPN does not make you anonymous. You will have to TRUST the VPN Provider with your data (instead of your ISP). Turn it off for crucial things like banking etc

This spreadsheet was created in relation to the respective threads on LES and LET :-)

------------ LTD Canary ----------------

LTD Canary: So far none of the Lifetime VPN Deals was suspended or terminated due to inactivity, or any other reason. I will update this if anything changes.

RA4W VPN seems to have shut down 4 years after I purchased it.

Ivacy Update, March 2022:

I purchased Ivacy in 2017. The Stacksocial terms of the Ivacy lifetime deal state that after 5 years you need to contact the Ivacy support to renew your license free of charge.

I was indeed recently presented with a new invoice. After contacting support and some back and forth, the invoice has been waived. It appears like my service has been extended free of charge. If a new invoice appears, I'll let you know.
