Hosted on your website
The download lives on your domain, next to your pricing and support pages, so the whole purchase journey stays inside your brand.
VPN apps
Branded Windows VPN Software
A desktop VPN client with your name on it, distributed from your own website, signing in against your admin panel and offering the locations your packages allow.
Context
Desktop is where business customers live
Consumer VPN traffic is mostly mobile, but the customers who pay yearly and rarely cancel are often working on a laptop all day. If you sell to small businesses, remote teams, freelancers or anyone who needs a VPN for work rather than for streaming, a Windows client is not optional.
Windows also has a practical advantage over mobile: there is no store review between you and your customers. You publish the installer on your own website and distribute it immediately. For a business that has been waiting on a mobile store decision, that difference is significant.
The trade-off is that you take on the parts a store would otherwise handle: signing the installer so Windows trusts it, hosting the download, and telling customers when an update is available. None of these are difficult, but they should be planned rather than discovered.
The client
A small window that does one job well
A desktop VPN client should be quick to open, obvious to use and easy to ignore once it is connected. Everything a customer needs sits in one window.
- Sign-in with the account created in your panel
- A clear connect and disconnect control with an unambiguous state
- The location list your customer's package allows
- Account details: plan, expiry date and days remaining
- Your brand throughout — window title, icon, colours and wording
Optional behaviour such as starting with Windows, reconnecting automatically or minimising to the system tray is agreed during scoping so it matches how your customers actually work.
Panel integration
The same rules as every other platform
The Windows client is not a separate product with its own logic. It signs in against your admin panel, and the panel decides everything that matters.
- One account across Windows, macOS, Android, TV and iOS
- Subscription expiry enforced by the panel, not by the computer
- Device limits counted across every platform together
- Server locations added in the panel appear without a new installer
- Suspend an account and the desktop client stops connecting
Distribution
Getting the installer onto customer machines
Signed installer
A code signing certificate in your company name stops Windows warning customers that the software is untrusted. It is the single biggest cause of failed desktop installs.
Update process
How customers learn about and install updates is agreed up front, rather than becoming a support problem six months after launch.
Questions
Windows VPN client FAQ
They download an installer from your website and run it. Desktop software is not distributed through a store review process the way mobile apps are, which makes Windows the platform you have the most direct control over.
You should have one. Without a signed installer, Windows shows a warning that stops a meaningful share of non-technical customers from completing the installation. The certificate is bought in your company name; we help you use it in the build.
Yes. It signs in against the same admin panel, respects the same subscription expiry and counts against the same device limit as every other platform.
Behaviour such as launching at startup or reconnecting automatically is a scoping decision. Tell us how your customers work and we will confirm what is included in your build before it starts.
Currently supported versions of Windows are the target. Exact version support is confirmed in your scope rather than promised on a marketing page, because it depends on the components your build uses.
