Show HN: Serverless VPN for Lifetime

It sure seems like they purposefully not calling that out so they keep parroting “lifetime”. So will this software get updates to support new API versions or other changes these clouds might make? Will it automatically support new regions/instance types? It looks like you have to run the control panel somewhere (not serverless) so that will cost money or require setup to expose it running on local hardware.
I’m having a really hard time not seeing this as borderline scammy.
Other than that I'll answer the questions some of which already have information on website or the installation or product walk-through videos.
how much it will cost you to run on whichever cloud you use: Hetzner being the chepeast at the moment ~$4/mo. Ofcourse your own hardware $0/mo
will this software get updates to support new API versions or other changes these clouds might make?: So far I haven't seen a cloud provide deprecate their APIs (please do provide real example if so) but this would be handled as software update
Will it automatically support new regions?: Via software updates
Will it automatically support new instance types?: Yes already supported, more info on website and product walk-through video
If you'd like to have civil discussion other than calling "scam", futher questions are welcome
The site is well setup and the service known however what are your plans in the long term?
For sake of argument for "lifetime": even if some of these cloud providers go out of business the probablity of all of going out of business is low, and so software will keep on working.
I'm also expecting new cloud providers to appear over long period of time worth adding support for.
