Provider cabinet

What the FlowLock provider cabinet gives you and how to connect your subscriptions to it in five steps.

The provider cabinet on flowlock.cc links your subscriptions with the FlowLock app for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is free, with limits; “Unlimited” lifts them for 1000 ₽ a month.

What you get

Your contacts in the app. Support, email and Telegram are shown on the subscription card and in “About the provider”.
Statistics. How many devices use your subscriptions, by system, growth by month, active in the last 30 days.
App management through subscription headers: an info block with a button, a renewal reminder, moving the subscription to a new domain, a fallback address, ping, auto-update and fragmentation settings, and more.
Notifications and commands. A message to all users or to selected devices, “refresh the subscription”, “change the domain”, “import data”, “change settings”.
Limited and HWID links. A subscription from such a link can be added to only N devices, and the user doesn't see the subscription address.

All of this works only for verified subscriptions: the subscription carries your ID, and its domain is verified in your cabinet. Someone else's ID in someone else's subscription gives nothing: the subscription's domain must belong to the same cabinet.

Getting started

Sign in to your FlowLock account on flowlock.cc (or sign up) and open the provider cabinet → “Turn on the cabinet”. You get a provider ID: 10 characters, for example k7m2x9q4bd.
Fill in the contacts: the name (users see it), a support link, email, Telegram.
Add the domain you serve subscriptions from (for example sub.example.com) and verify it with a TXT record or a file on the website. Details are on the “Domains” page.
Add the ID to the subscription as a response header, a line in the body or in the link fragment, see “ID in the subscription”.
Done. FlowLock apps with your subscription appear in the statistics after their first subscription refresh.

Then, if you like: app management, notifications and commands, limited links and the API.

Without a cabinet FlowLock still reads the subscription as usual: servers, profile-title, subscription-userinfo, support-url, announce, routing rules and the colour theme. The cabinet adds what requires trust in the provider. The list of headers that work without an ID is on the “Subscription headers” page.

If the cabinet doesn't open

Provider cabinets are being turned on gradually. If the cabinet page says the feature is off for now, prepare your subscription using this documentation and come back later.
