Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Windows Winget

Windows Winget 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 Windows Winget
Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

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

White-label VPN partners often ask how Windows Winget 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.

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.

What Windows Winget is in your stack

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

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

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

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

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

Five devices on one KloxVPN plan
One account, five devices online at the same time.

    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 Windows packaging with engineering. Not a Klox winget dashboard. Not a claim that consumer Klox is in winget. Not a claim that every partner ships a catalog.

Store vs tunnel

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

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

When users mention Windows Winget

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

Run quarterly content audits on blog posts that mention `Windows Winget` 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.

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

Device cap

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

Download, sign in, connect WireGuard, fall back to OpenVPN

2FA and admin panels

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