  Bing is used a lot more than most people think. It’s also used by sites like DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Swisscows, etc.

  The [new] owners told customers that they didn’t know about the lifetime subscriptions when they bought VPNSecure, and they cannot honor the purchases.

  … however, its terms of service names the company “HOLDXB Trading FZCO trading as VPN Secure, IFZA Business Park, Dubai - UAE.”

  Aha, yeah they don’t care and the service should be dead to anyone who uses VPN.
