Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Macos Hardened Runtime

Macos Hardened Runtime 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 Macos Hardened Runtime
Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

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 Macos Hardened Runtime 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.

Macos Hardened Runtime may appear in your stack — website, comments, installers, or admin tools. None of that replaces the VPN protocol or adds a secret "Macos Hardened Runtime 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.
