Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Cortex

Cortex can sit on a branded KloxVPN client. It does not replace WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, Shadowsocks, the five-device limit, or the 7-day first-purchase refund.

White-Label VPN and Cortex
Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-label VPN partners often ask how Cortex fits next to a branded Klox client. Short answer: branding, billing, and support are yours; the tunnel is still WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, and Shadowsocks on five devices.

Cortex may appear in your stack — website, comments, installers, or admin tools. None of that replaces the VPN protocol or adds a secret "Cortex mode" inside the tunnel.

We keep commercial facts upfront: consumer pricing reference is $2.83/month on the yearly plan with 7-day money-back on your first purchase; partner economics live on /white-label and /reseller.

This page is for founders, agencies, and IT shops packaging Klox under their own name. It is not a consumer setup guide — end users still download your app build and press Connect.

What Cortex is in your stack

It is not a request for a new protocol. Klox white-label ships the same four-protocol core consumers get.

When unsure, link to /white-label instead of improvising specs in sales email.

Your brand promise should match Klox capabilities: WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, and Shadowsocks, five devices, honest refund language.

Partners grep builds, store listings, and support macros for strings like `Cortex`. That is a packaging question: does the name still ship, should it be renamed, or removed?

Document decisions in your runbook so marketing and engineering do not talk past each other.

Store vs tunnel

App Store screenshots and Play listing text are marketing surfaces. The tunnel handshake is engineering. Keep tickets separated.

Reseller and white-label paths differ; pick one story on your homepage.

When users mention Cortex

If a subscriber cites `Cortex` in a ticket, clarify whether they mean your website, your installer, or a VPN error message.

Your brand promise should match Klox capabilities: WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, and Shadowsocks, five devices, honest refund language.

What the tunnel still does

Regardless of brand paint, the client wraps traffic the same way: encrypted tunnel to your chosen server, DNS through the tunnel when configured, kill switch optional per platform.

Partners win when support scripts are boring and accurate. Excitement in copy usually means someone promised a protocol feature that does not exist.

Document which version removed or renamed `Cortex` so SEO pages like this one stay truthful.

Run quarterly content audits on blog posts that mention `Cortex` so partners do not contradict each other.

Do not promise features Klox does not ship — extra protocols, unlimited devices beyond plan limits, or compliance badges you cannot show.

Branding checklist around Cortex

When unsure, link to /white-label instead of improvising specs in sales email.

Store reviewers compare screenshots to real behavior. Mislabelled `Cortex` strings are an easy rejection reason.

If you rebrand, update every surface in one release when possible. Half-old names confuse users and app review.

Keep /download logic in mind: consumer links on your domain should point to your build, not klox.app, unless that is intentional.

Keep marketing, engineering, and support in one thread when `Cortex` changes. Silent renames cause refund spikes.
