    Love to know how many that makes now. I remember when they bought out PIA VPN. And Express was always one of the highest-cost VPNs.
    Kape Technologies must have a huge stack of money sitting around to keep buying out these VPNs.
    Nord VPN is like the second or third highest in price, and a while back bought out Surfshark VPN.
    Just don't buy any if any still claim to offer lifetime, as many of those who did shut down. It's not feasible to offer lifetime.
    I cut out many that I was trying. Even though Surfshark was reasonable in price, I cut them out; Nord is getting cut out because of price.
    I can still get access to Windscribe, PIA, and one other.
    Things can't be fully accomplished without proper access.
    Things need to be done with active moderatoration.

      Their first VPN acquisition was Cyberghost for €9.1M back in 2017,
      followed by Private Internet Access for $127M
      Zenmate for €4.8M in 2018
      Express VPN for $936M in 2021

      And they own many VPN review sites ..

        Kape, of course, is (in?)famous for something else...

              Well, I am sure they can spy on you when the VPN program is active. But as far as them trying to inject any adware or malware, good luck in getting by Malwarebytes.
              I locked in an amazing price for PIA and don't want to give that up, plus I don't use the VPN as much as I thought I would.
              I never bother with using VPN for streaming, enough stuff can be found and downloaded available to the US, I don't bother with locations outside of the US.
              I have VPNs more for torrenting, but the need for VPN is slowly being phased out for torrents, as there are other ways now.

                All anti-virus &c software works on known patterns, not intent... but it goes further than that- one gives full control over network to a known malware distributor... the old fable of a scorpion and a frog comes to mind
