Brand the app; the tunnel stays the same.

White-Label VPN and Winget

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 Winget
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.

White-label VPN partners often ask how 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.

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

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 Winget is in your stack

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

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