[Unlimited VPN Not Available Anymore?]

 Update from Kaspersky customer service:

"Kaspersky VPN in India for new users will not be available anymore due to regional law from the start of 2024. For existing users like you, the Kaspersky VPN will continue until its expiry date with no issues."

For other users from India, my advice is that KSK was justified in raising its prices via subscription services when bundled with the VPN. Without, it physical versions like Total or Internet security still available with resellers costs much less, even KSK premium costs much less. Without the VPN, buying from the official website isn't worth it.

I've sent them a mail via this method last night itself. They haven't got back to me yet. I'll update as soon as I hear back from them.

Hello @Durren, 

Welcome!

Even tho VPNs are legal in India, the Indian Government has made *user data collection* mandatory.  

Kaspersky has very strict Privacy policies for their VPN subscribers, including not collecting logs.

Support advised: No information is available at this time about the exact date wherein Kaspersky VPN will no longer be offered when purchasing KPlus or KPremium from the Kaspersky website in India.

However, as you've observed, the VPN is no longer being advertised. 

Thank you🙏

Thank you.

So, what happens to auto-renewals? Do we get an effective downgrade when we have to renew subscription? Or does everything work as before, just that it's not advertised? 

What does is mean for the remaining duration of my already purchased subscription?

"The use of VPN technology is subject to local laws and regulations.  Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection should only be used for its intended purpose.

And it is not available for downloading or activation in Belarus, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Pakistan, and Qatar. "

 

Kaspersky Lab works to ensure that the sale of the VPN in these countries does not take place

I am starting to think it's region-locked. The Kaspersky page with my country's domain has the VPN option conspicuously absent.

@DurrenWelcome

In the Kaspersky Plus subscription plan, unlimited VPN is included.

Download the VPN app (if not already installed) and connect your My Kaspersky account.

Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection → Download link

Here's what the product page is showing me

I purchased a Kaspersky Plus subscription last year which included an unlimited VPN. However, the product page now shows no trace of an unlimited VPN option in any Kaspersky plans. Does that mean during auto-renewal I won't be getting unlimited VPN?
