After install

  1. Run openclaw onboard for your LLM provider and first channel.
  2. Pick a walkthrough: channel hub or Telegram quickstart.
  3. Set pairing policy before you expose the bot to untrusted DMs.
  4. On a public VPS, keep the Gateway on loopback; use a reverse proxy only if you need remote WebChat (see remote access).

VPS pricing does not include LLM API spend—see monthly cost guide and example setups & model routing.

Sizing and hardening

Start with 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM for one Gateway; add RAM for browser skills or local embeddings. UFW: allow SSH from your IP only; keep Gateway on loopback unless remote WebChat (remote access). Snapshot before upgrades (runbook).

Pick a nearby POP

With 18+ locations, choose a datacenter close to your users for WebChat latency. Telegram/WhatsApp still depend on provider networks—test from the target country if possible.
