Guys, I want to buy VPN but for a lifetime. There are many VPN available but only for monthly and yearly subscription. so please give me any suggestion for it.

In an ever evolving world, a "lifetime" subscription to anything is a pretty bad idea.
On the VPN front, a longer subscription will cost more, and who knows if they'll still be around in 5+ years. Even if it was 'only' say 10x the annual cost, and you paid it upfront ($100/lifetime vs $10/year), you've 'pre-paid' and may not get the service*.

NordVPN (and others, I'm sure) offer a ~3 year plan.... A lot of YT'ers have codes for 60%(?) off of said plans too. That's probably the longest I'd commit to something like a VPN.

*Could you imagine still being bound (or already paid for) lifetime subscriptions to AOL? Napster? MegaUpload? Not quite the same situation, but you get the idea.

I doubt that there is, software companies in general need the constant revenue stream to maintain the hardware and software to run the service. One time payments are a thing of the past unfortunately - things need to stay up to date to stay compatible and that costs money.
In general I would also recommend getting something like NordVPN for a couple of years and if it still seems alright after that just stick to it or get a different provider.

Yes, they need money to maintain their hardware and lifetime subscription will be grave for them.
