Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Chocolatey

Chocolatey 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 Chocolatey
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.

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

White-label VPN partners often ask how Chocolatey 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.

What Chocolatey is in your stack

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

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

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

Partners grep builds, store listings, and support macros for strings like `Chocolatey`. 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.

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

Store vs tunnel

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

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

When users mention Chocolatey

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

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

What the tunnel still does

Run quarterly content audits on blog posts that mention `Chocolatey` 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.

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

Branding checklist around Chocolatey

If you rebrand, update every surface in one release when possible. Half-old names confuse users and app review.

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