Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Installshield

Installshield 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 Installshield
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.

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

White-label VPN partners often ask how Installshield 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 Installshield is in your stack

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

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

Document which version removed or renamed `Installshield` so SEO pages like this one stay truthful.

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 `Installshield`. That is a packaging question: does the name still ship, should it be renamed, or removed?

WireGuard versus OpenVPN
Klox ships four protocols: WireGuard by default, OpenVPN when UDP fails.

    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 InstallShield dashboard. Not a claim that every partner ships InstallShield.
