BulletVPN abruptly shuts down, leaving lifetime subscribers out in the cold
BulletVPN has officially gone offline, discontinuing service for all users and voiding its once-promoted lifetime subscriptions. The Estonia-based VPN provider, founded in 2015, posted a shutdown message last week confirming that operations have ceased permanently. The announcement, titled “BulletVPN End of Life,” marks a sudden end for a service that had offered $39 lifetime plans as recently as last month.
The company stated that the decision followed “careful consideration of various factors,” including changes in market demand and operational sustainability. The closure reflects a broader trend in the VPN space, where smaller providers often struggle to remain viable after offering deeply discounted lifetime access. Just this past May, another VPN service, VPNSecure, made a similar move by cutting off lifetime plans after a change in ownership.
Unsurprisingly, affected BulletVPN users are expressing frustration. However, some support is being offered. Rival provider Windscribe is extending a 6-month free subscription and discounted long-term plans to former BulletVPN lifetime members. Eligible users can contact support@bulletvpn.com to claim the offer.
