OpenClaw uses SSH tunnels for dashboard access and keyless remote command execution

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This guide explains how to use OpenClaw, an open-source agent gateway, with SSH for secure access. It details two primary methods: accessing the OpenClaw dashboard via an SSH tunnel and enabling the OpenClaw agent to execute commands on other servers without exposing SSH keys. The post emphasizes the security risks associated with storing SSH keys directly on the gateway, especially given the potential for malicious skills in marketplaces like ClawHub, and introduces Termalin as a keyless solution for remote command execution.

    OpenClaw and SSH: tunnel to the dashboard, and let the agent reach your servers without a key

    <p>Two different jobs hide behind the phrase "OpenClaw SSH", and mixing them up is where people get stuck. One is reaching OpenClaw itself: its dashboard runs on localhost, so you open it over an SSH tunnel. The other is the reverse — letting the OpenClaw agent run commands on yo…
