==Company acquisition and deactivation==

According to an article from the registers from May 14th 2025, VPN Secure was acquired by InfiniteQuant Ltd in May 2023. According to their email to customers, they acquired "the technology, domain, and customer database — but not the liabilities." On April 28, 2025, all lifetime deal accounts were deactivated. https://web.archive.org/web/20250515211209/https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/vpn_secure_axe_lifetime_deals/

According to their email to customers, they acquired "the technology, domain, and customer database — but not the liabilities." On April 28, 2025, all lifetime deal accounts were deactivated. https://web.archive.org/web/20250515211209/https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/vpn_secure_axe_lifetime_deals/

The new owners claimed that they were unaware of the lifetime subscriptions when they made the acquisition, stating: "Unfortunately, the previous owner did not disclose that thousands of Lifetime Deals (LTDs) had been sold through platforms like StackSocial."

Here is an Internet Archive page from May 28th 2025 where the company owner changed to InfiniteQuant Ltd: https://web.archive.org/web/20250528093817/https://www.vpnsecure.me/terms-of-service/

Ultimately, we can see that there was a lack of communication towards the users of their VPN Service about the change of owners, the change of the Terms of service and the lack of an early statement of the removal of the lifetime license.
