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.
Play Protect may appear in your stack — website, comments, installers, or admin tools. None of that replaces the VPN protocol or adds a secret "Play Protect 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 Play Protect 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 Play Protect is in your stack
Document decisions in your runbook so marketing and engineering do not talk past each other.
Reseller and white-label paths differ; pick one story on your homepage.
Partners grep builds, store listings, and support macros for strings like `Play Protect`. That is a packaging question: does the name still ship, should it be renamed, or removed?
Partners win when support scripts are boring and accurate. Excitement in copy usually means someone promised a protocol feature that does not exist.
When unsure, link to /white-label instead of improvising specs in sales email.
- 1Download the app from klox.app/download — not a random APK site.
- 2Sign in with the account you paid for.
- 3Press WireGuard. Wait for the connected state.
- 4If it fails, try OpenVPN. Still failing: note the network (hotel, campus, home) before you write support.
First successful connect
| Surface | Job | Lie | Who feels it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Play Protect (store scan) | Google looks at the uploaded package | Calling it Play Integrity | Listing flag, appeal queue |
| Play Protect (on-device) | Phone scans installed packages | Same as a verdict API you call | Yellow sheet on sideload |
| Play-installed graph | Apps Play actually installed | Sideload sits on that graph | Unrecognized-app copy |
| Play Integrity | Verdicts about app, device, Play context | A scan old is attestation | Silent Connect refuse |
| Play Licensing / LVL | Check a Play-licensed install | Protect as a license gate | Sideload users refused |
| Play App Signing | Who holds the store signing key | A scan rotates the jks | Lost keystore, wrong ticket |
| AAB upload | Publishing container Play reads | A bundle is the scanner | Console old, AAB essay |
| Sideload APK /download | Real Klox consumer path; brand path is yours | Protect covers that file like a Play Get | Refund, 1-star |
| Cookie on klox.app | Site cookies | A scan old is a cookie | See /cookie; neither is Protect |
Play Protect is a store scan old. The APK on /download is not on that Play-installed graph.

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