Hello fellow pirates:

Planning to sell access to the accounts for 50 cents per month with guarantee. I mean one time charge depending on the remaining subscription time would be the final price.

Unlimited devices only thing people can’t change the account password.

Anyone would be interested?

      There are a lot of idiots. $0.50 is honestly too small. Pretty sure you can buy hacked computer proxies for that amount and it would be as safe.

        They are VPN premium accounts from mainstream VPN providers with no log policies and unlimited devices support, so people will have 50+ locations to choose from and P2P support.

    Why should anyone trust you to run a VPN for them? How would we know you’re not a malicious actor?

      I will not run the VPN servers by myself I would just pay for a premium VPN account of 100USD and resell it to idk maybe 20 persons for 50 cents per month with guarantee, if you lose access to the account then I provide you another account with at least the remaining loss time.

      The account will be from a well known VPN provider with no log policies and multiple devices support.

      Basically a shared VPN account.

        Would that be worth your while? I mean if you’re talking about an one year plan here, that’d mean you’re making $20 per year off these 20 people. Or $1 per year by handling one customer of yours. Let’s say you find 600 people and manage all of that. That’d give you a monthly salary of $50. There is quite some uncertainty to your business model, it is work and you’re violating the TOS of your VPN suppliers and committing tax fraud. I’d advise you to do the maths first, before starting with a business like that.

    What’s the value proposition for the customer over just going to the VPN service provider directly?

      Also, what if someone just like you is one of your customers? Taking the account info you give and reselling it? How would you handle it?

        A personal account it’s like 50 bucks per year, a shared account will be like 6 bucks per year, but thinking about what you say maybe would be a better idea if I use not unlimited devices services, like for example 10 devices limit and sell the account by number of devices too so that way someone who bought one wouldn’t be allowed to resell it or the account wouldn’t work at all.

        If people start reselling the accounts there is a bigger chance they get taken down so they will have to replace it or if they don’t people wouldn’t keep buying from them, and if people buy it from me as I am the one making them I will be able to replace it until the paid lapse passes. So the guarantee would be a point here I believe.

          At $0.50 a month I see people buying a single month prepaid to do evil things, and getting the account shutdown. Or just posting the credentials to 4chan.

          If it’s a year prepaid, then it’s starting to compete with the multiyear VPN providers who offer services at like $1 month but prepay 3 years.

          I think your idea is fine to share amongst friends who know each other. But with strangers… It will be a huge headache.

            My idea it’s for example, prepay 3 years of a premium VPN for 120 bucks, and then resell the account multiple times for 18 bucks, there are people who can’t afford a VPN for 120 backs for personal use which could pay 18 for a shared one so if I resell it to 7 persons I will recover the original price and if I resell it to 14 I will be able to make another account for 3 years more, so basically that’s the idea, use multiple providers and different time subscription to offer a variety of prices, obviously I will cover up my ass at the moment of making the accounts, burner addresses pay with crypto and you know good OpSec. That way if someone do shady shit the VPN provider couldn’t find me.

              Okay. Good luck with that. Feels like a big headache.

              Worst case scenario, you become very successful, and force the VPN to limit devices to the same IP range.

              From my perspective, if you really want to do this, become a legitimate VPN reseller. Then you don’t have to do the user management
