Oxrion

Modern PHP code protection

Protect your PHP source with the free Oxrion Desktop app. Your code runs everywhere but can't be read or copied — and production servers need only the free loader.

How it works

Protect your project in one pass.

Create an account, protect your code in the desktop app, and deploy. Production servers run it with the free loader — nothing else to install.

  1. Step 01

    Create your account

    Sign up at app.oxrion.com, pick a plan, and get your Encoder Key. The key powers the desktop app and carries your daily limit.

  2. Step 02

    Protect in the app

    Open Oxrion Desktop, point it at your project, and every PHP file is protected in one pass — folder structure preserved, nothing stored.

  3. Step 03

    Deploy & run

    Ship the protected files to any server with the free loader installed. PHP runs them transparently — full speed, OPcache and all.

The setup

A free app, a simple subscription

The Oxrion Desktop app is free and does everything locally — licensing, recovery, key generation. Only the encoder needs a plan, and every protected file runs on the same free loader.

Built differently

Everything you need, built in

Six things you'll notice immediately. The rest live in the docs.

Strong encryption

Your source is sealed with strong, industry-standard cryptography. The original code never ships — only a protected file that runs but cannot be read.

Tamper-proof files

Every protected file is signed and verified before it runs. Change a single byte and it's rejected — no silently modified code ever executes in production.

Always recoverable

Protected files are never a one-way street. The Oxrion Desktop app restores your original source offline, on your own machine, with your recovery key — no account, no upload, no lock-in.

License system included

Bind a protected file to a specific customer, domain, or expiry date. The licensing tools are built into the Desktop app and free — no add-ons, no extra modules to buy.

Public or licensed files

Choose how each file is allowed to run. Public files run anywhere; licensed files run only where you permit. The rule travels sealed inside the file itself.

Free, minimal runtime

You protect code in the Oxrion Desktop app; the server you deploy to needs only the free Oxrion loader — small, fast, and identical everywhere. Nothing that does the protecting ever ships to production.

Your code stays yours

We never store your code

Sending your source somewhere to protect it should make any developer nervous. So we built Oxrion to keep nothing. Your files are protected in memory and the result is handed straight back — then everything is gone.

No source on our disks. No copies in a database. Licenses are generated locally in the app, never held by us. There's simply nothing for us to leak, lose, or hand over.

No source stored

Files are processed and immediately discarded — never written to permanent storage.

No database copies

We track usage counts, not your code. Your files never touch our database.

Licenses on your side

License files are generated for you to keep — we don't retain a copy of any of them.

Encrypted in transit

Everything moves over a secure connection, start to finish.

Who it's for

For anyone who ships PHP they'd rather not give away

If your code leaves your hands the moment you deliver it, Oxrion keeps it working without handing over the source.

Plugin & theme authors

Sell your work without sending readable source. Protect each release and tie it to a license so it can't be cloned or resold.

Agencies & freelancers

Deliver client projects on their servers while keeping your work protected. Bind each build to a domain so it only runs where it should.

Self-hosted software vendors

Ship an on-premise product to customers' own servers without exposing your codebase or your licensing logic.

Why Oxrion

A fresh approach to a tired problem

Built for today

Tampered files fail to load — instantly, not silently. The format is designed so visibility metadata can't be forged or stripped.

No lock-in

Two-way by design. From your account you can restore every file you've protected back to its original source. We don't hold your code hostage.

Fair pricing

$5 to start. Free tier is real, not a teaser. The license system everyone else upsells is included from day one.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

  • What does Oxrion do?

    Oxrion protects your PHP source code. You protect your files with the free Oxrion Desktop app, then ship the protected versions to your customers or servers. The code runs exactly as before, but the original source can't be read, copied, or modified.

  • Is my source code safe when I protect it?

    Yes. To protect a file, the Desktop app sends it over an encrypted connection, it's processed in memory, and the protected result is returned immediately — then everything is discarded. No source is saved to disk, no copies go into a database, and your licenses are generated locally in the app. There's nothing left on our side to expose.

  • Will my protected files run on my server?

    Yes. Your production server only needs the free Oxrion loader installed as a PHP extension. Once it's in place, protected files run just like normal PHP — no changes to your application required.

  • Can I protect a whole project at once?

    Yes. In the Oxrion Desktop app, point it at a folder or drop in a ZIP and every PHP file inside is protected in one pass, with your folder structure preserved.

  • Where are my licenses stored?

    On your machine, not ours. Licenses are generated locally in the Oxrion Desktop app and never uploaded to us. Your ability to license and recover your own code never depends on us — and there's no license database on our servers to be breached.

  • Can I get my source code back?

    Yes. Recovery runs inside the Oxrion Desktop app, offline on your own machine, using your recovery key. There's no account dependency, no lock-in, and no risk of losing your own code.
