What do I need to create an SSH tunnel to an OpenClaw gateway?▼

Creating an SSH tunnel to an OpenClaw gateway requires valid AWS credentials, an EC2 instance with OpenClaw installed, the instance's public IP address, and the specific gateway token.

How does port forwarding work for accessing a remote OpenClaw instance?▼

Port forwarding for a remote OpenClaw instance works by mapping the gateway's WebSocket port 18789 from the EC2 host to a local port, establishing a secure direct connection for WebUI access.

Can I connect to the OpenClaw gateway without manually configuring SSH commands?▼

Yes, you can connect to the OpenClaw gateway without manual SSH commands by using an automated tunneling process that handles port forwarding, launches the WebUI, and verifies gateway health.
