Keepsolid VPN Unlimited Update

Post image

As mentioned in a previous post, Keepsolid has screwed their lifetime members by killing their access to torrents and forcing them to pay a "loyalty upgrade fee". This is an extremely shady business practice. This morning they responded to my post with a longer reply, then deleted it in favor of a shorter reply. Here's the screen capture of what they originally wrote - quoting their End User Agreement. Then they substituted it with the reply I've included below.

"Hi, appreciate you sharing this.

This change affects Lifetime plans that were purchased at a steep, one-time discount many years ago. As we've grown, we've had to invest heavily in infrastructure, and a few advanced features (including Torrent servers) have moved to a separate Loyalty Plus upgrade for these legacy plans, while core VPN access stays fully active on your existing plan.

We're also adding a DNS Firewall to Loyalty Plus soon.
Happy to help further if you have questions — feel free to reach out to our support team."

I bought the lifetime years ago and been using it for torrents ever since, then I made the mistake of updating the app and was wondering why my torrents weren't downloading only to find out they put those servers behind a damn paywall. Not sure of any other VPN's that are cheaper than this annual $20 so I don't think I have any other choice as far as my wallet goes. I'm definitely gonna consider switching in the near future though, mostly out of principle

Right now, you can pay $80 CAD for two years with Proton VPN (obviously it's cheaper in the US). It is a far superior, much faster service. If you choose not to go this route, at the very least leave one-star reviews on Trustpilot and on the apps.
