Ivacy VPN acquired by PureVPN, lifetime deal no longer automatic

for two cents compensation. :rofl::+1:

22

How did you go? For some reason it wonā€™t even let me migrate.

23

Support usually says: ā€œno problem, just contact us right before expiration.ā€. Problem is that many will forget :wink:

24

Any success? In the same boat as well and I see that when I have to port it says renew and what not.

25

I remember people complaining that when ā€œrenewalā€ time arrived they didnā€™t honor it.

26

Unless you bought Ivacy just weeks ago and are still under StackSocial refund period, you cannot.

27

Yes, Ivacy is no longer, you must migrate to PureVPN asap if you still can!

28

Yea my app stop working on android and, but computer was still working. Thatā€™s when I went looking for what was wrong.

There was an email back in August,

Was able to migrate so, a little bit of a pain, but got it fixed.

29

I got it done after sending them my StackSocial lifetime invoice. Best of luck!

30

Porting is easy, the question is what will happen when itā€™s time to renew.

31

Ivacyā€™s customer support seems to be non-existent now. I contacted PureVPNā€™s customer support instead and it turns out my account was ported over despite the error messages I got every time I tried. Like others on here have said, Pure confirmed I need to contact them 1-2 weeks before my sub expires. Iā€™ve put a reminder on my calendar

32

I only participated on one of those 20+ years ago before I understood how it workedā€¦

33

I was never informed about the acquisition and the service being discontinued. I can still connect to Ivacy manually. How do I migrate to PureVPN?

34

I was able to migrate my account which was easy. Iā€™ve been having issues with the desktop app. I think manually connecting to Ivacy is still easier

35

What did they do after you sent your invoice? My port was successful and I was put onto the 5y plan. Iā€™m wondering if they can just make it lifetime? Or do I have to email before the 5y period is up?

36

You gave them card info? They wonā€™t port mine. My lifetime renewed until 2028 a few months ago with no mention of a merger. All this is bs.

37

same herešŸ¤ Have you tried Adguard dns on your devices? Works great at blocking ads on everything even app related ads or apps you have to pay for ad free. By putting: dns.adguard.com in your private dns settings of the device. Also blocks malicious sites and downloads and avoiding random dns hosted by the network provider.

38

Login here and see if you can still migrate. I already did so no longer have same screen:

Letā€™s see for how long that lastsā€¦

You need to email them when your period is over, there is no automatic lifetime.

Even Ivacy had us on those 5 year plans that were auto-renewed, but not anymore. I have commercial websites running for 25+ years, but they think 5-year is the normal lifetime of services :wink:
