When you're away from home, Tailscale (a free app) creates an encrypted peer-to-peer tunnel between your phone and your machine. No ports to open, no servers in the middle — just a private connection that works anywhere. Install it once, and forget about it. GETTING STARTED 1. Set up OpenClaw on your Mac or server (github.com/nichochar/openclaw) 2. Install Tailscale on both your computer and phone (free at tailscale.com) 3. Open RawClaw and connect — that's it On your home network, RawClaw connects directly with no extra setup. Tailscale extends that same private connection to anywhere in the world. The first time you connect, you'll approve your phone from your computer with a single terminal command. After that, it just works.
