Everything your network needs to monetize and scale

From automated mobile money checkout to offline agent networks and remote router control, VochaBox replaces five disconnected tools.

Instant Cashout

Mobile Money & Card Payments

Customers buy vouchers right on the captive portal via MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Flutterwave, or Paystack. Collect to VochaBox custody or link your own merchant keys.

Agent Portal

Agent Resale Counter Portal

Empower local retail agents with a lightweight mobile sub-portal. They sell printed voucher slips or digital codes over the counter while you track commissions automatically.

White-label

5 Captive Portal Themes

Select from Classic, HUD, Ticket, Sci-Fi, or Flyer themes. White-label with your company logo, custom colors, marketing slogans, and contact info in one click.

MAC Locking

Smart Multi-Device Roaming

1 voucher allows 1 primary phone and 1 Smart TV / laptop. IoT devices bind to MAC, while a self-service transfer code lets users switch their phone with zero admin support.

Zero Spam

WhatsApp & Telegram Alerts

Get alerted the moment a router drops or memory spikes. Smart flap detection waits for a failed reconnect — not a single missed beat — to prevent false alarm spam.

Fault Tolerant

Guaranteed Device Kick / Ban

Revoke access or ban abusive MAC addresses remotely. If the router is temporarily unreachable, actions queue securely in the cloud and execute the second it recovers.

Zero-Config Remote Management

Open native Winbox from anywhere in the world

Your router might be upcountry, behind a carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT), on a 4G LTE SIM card, or connected via Starlink. You never need a public static IP or open firewall ports.

  • Dedicated Cloud Port: Every router is assigned a unique port (e.g. remote.vochabox.com:40231).
  • End-to-End Encrypted: Raw TCP proxying. We never terminate Winbox TLS or inspect credentials — your RouterOS password remains private.
  • Self-Healing Dynamic Route: If power blinks or your router reconnects with a new IP address, the cloud proxy automatically rebinds the session instantly.

PPPoE accounts

Monthly subscribers authenticate straight against the same core — no separate billing system to reconcile against.

Whether customers buy printed vouchers from retail shops or pay digitally on the captive portal, all voucher sales and PPPoE subscriptions reconcile into the same unified core ledger.

Routers don't go quiet without you knowing

A background watcher continuously monitors your fleet. If a connection drops, it attempts automated self-healing reconnects before waking anyone up.

  • Active link verification ensures transient network blips are resolved automatically without generating false alarms.
  • Low-end boards sometimes misreport under memory pressure, so a failed reconnect — not a single missed beat — is what escalates.
  • Only a real reconnect failure notifies the tenant, sent straight to WhatsApp.
