SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenClaw node connection and pairing issues disrupt access between companion apps and gateways. This skill provides structured guidance to identify where the route or auth fails and how to correct it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnose connection/pairing failures across local, LAN, Tailnet, and public URL scenarios.
  • Validate gateway settings (gateway.bind, gateway.remote.url) and authentication tokens.
  • Recommend concrete remediation steps for common OpenClaw pairing problems.

Quick Start

Provide your OpenClaw setup details and trigger diagnostics to identify and fix the node pairing issue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix OpenClaw node connection and pairing failures?▼

Diagnosing OpenClaw node connection failures involves validating gateway settings like gateway.bind and gateway.remote.url, checking authentication tokens, and verifying routing across local, Tailnet, and public URL paths to pinpoint the failure.

Why does OpenClaw pairing work on local Wi-Fi but fail on VPS or Tailnet?▼

OpenClaw pairing may fail on VPS or Tailnet due to misconfigured public URLs, invalid bootstrap tokens, or routing restrictions. Diagnostics validate gateway.remote.url and Tailnet settings to correct these network-specific connection failures.

How do I resolve an invalid or expired bootstrap token error in OpenClaw?▼

Resolving an invalid or expired bootstrap token error requires validating your OpenClaw authentication setup and reconfiguring device pairing settings, specifically checking plugins.entries.device-pair.config.publicUrl to ensure proper token generation.

What steps should I take when QR code or manual host pairing fails for OpenClaw?▼

When QR code or manual host/port pairing fails for OpenClaw, diagnose the connection by verifying gateway.bind configurations, validating authentication routes, and ensuring companion apps can properly reach the gateway across local and public paths.

Does OpenClaw support diagnosing unauthorized or pairing required connection errors?▼

Yes, OpenClaw diagnostics support identifying unauthorized and pairing required errors. The process validates gateway authentication settings and routing configurations to provide concrete remediation steps for these specific connection failures.
