Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Promtail

Promtail 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 Promtail
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.

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.

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

White-label VPN partners often ask how Promtail 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.

Store vs tunnel

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

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

When users mention Promtail

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

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

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.

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.

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

White-label branding versus the VPN tunnel
Your logo is packaging. The tunnel is still WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, and Shadowsocks.

Strip, rename, or leave. Those are the three moves. Inventing a dashboard is how you lie on a store listing.

Comments and CMS plugins

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

2FA and admin panels
