Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Windows Chocolatey

Windows 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 Windows 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.

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

White-label VPN partners often ask how Windows 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.

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

    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 Chocolatey dashboard. Not a claim that consumer Klox is on chocolatey.org. Not a claim that every partner ships a nupkg.
