Lifetime VPN sub. Makes it a one-time purchase.
This sounds as unsustainable as free vpns
Because it is. Just recently some VPN provider I already forgot the name of cancelled all lifetime subscriptions. There were multiple posts on Lemmy about it.
How do you mean?
It is not that difficult to understand. Selling a service that costs money each month to run for a one time price is not sustainable.
Oh I see, you meant from the supplier side. I thought you meant it was unsustainable from the consumer side, thanks for clarifying ✌️
Now I'm wondering how costly it is to run Nebula, because they have a 300$ one time payment (equivalent of 5 years of subscription)
Not really. It depends on the pricing.
My issue is that the service have little incentive to keep up a quality standard, unless it's in the contract...
Ten years and counting for me and VPN Unlimited so far. Unsustainable? Capitalism is un-sustainable. Cheaper than paying monthly or yearly? Absolutely.
Personally, I use the VPN to do my searches, grab magnet links, and get the torrent started, then I disconnect the VPN and switch to Cell data, as that ISP has never sent me a nasty-gram about pirating.
Reasonably sure Nord is still turning a profit on my sub.
