Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Fdroid

Fdroid 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 Fdroid
Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

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.

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

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.

White-label VPN partners often ask how Fdroid 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.

What Fdroid is in your stack

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

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

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

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

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

WireGuard versus OpenVPN
Klox ships four protocols: WireGuard by default, OpenVPN when UDP fails.

    First successful connect

  1. 1Download the app from klox.app/download — not a random APK site.
  2. 2Sign in with the account you paid for.
  3. 3Press WireGuard. Wait for the connected state.
  4. 4If it fails, try OpenVPN. Still failing: note the network (hotel, campus, home) before you write support.
Desks that must not share a checkbox. Confirm branded Android packaging with engineering. Not a Klox F-Droid dashboard. Not a claim that every partner ships F-Droid. Not a claim that consumer Klox ships on F-Droid.

Store vs tunnel

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

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

When users mention Fdroid

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

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

What the tunnel still does

You inherit server capacity, protocol maintenance, and core app updates from Klox infrastructure. You own front-line support and brand promise.

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

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

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

Device cap

five devices per subscription is still enforced. Your pricing page should say so clearly.

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

Protocol choice

WireGuard first, OpenVPN fallback — same as consumer. Document that in partner FAQs.

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

Branding checklist around Fdroid

Confirm `Fdroid` still appears where you expect: installer metadata, about screen, support templates, and marketing site.

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

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

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

Download, sign in, connect WireGuard, fall back to OpenVPN
Install from klox.app/download. WireGuard first. OpenVPN if UDP is blocked.

Comments and CMS plugins

Some partners embed comment systems or CMS tools named `Fdroid`. That is website plumbing, not VPN configuration.

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

2FA and admin panels

Protect reseller panels separately. See admin 2FA checklist if you have not locked down logins.

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

Support scripts that work

Escalate tunnel failures to infrastructure. Escalate storefront or installer naming to your release manager.

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

Ask: OS, app version, protocol, and whether Connect ever worked on another network. Only then dig into build strings like `Fdroid`.

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

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

Refund policy

Mirror 7-day money-back on your first purchase in your terms or explain differences in writing before checkout.

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

Launch week

Use launch checklist so `Fdroid` questions do not land on day one.

What not to promise

Point enterprise buyers to /trust-center for what Klox publishes today, then add your own policies honestly.

No invented "Fdroid encryption." No secret city counts. No SOC 2 badge unless you actually hold one.

Competitor comparisons
