Security Best Practices

What is Security Best Practices?
Use a local machine setup only for single-user personal use. Bind the Gateway to localhost so it is never exposed to the internet, set a strong randomly generated auth token, and store all API keys in environment variables rather than config files. Run Open Claw as a non-root user, keep your sender allowlist to just yourself, and enable device pairing so unknown devices cannot connect. Run openclaw security audit --deep after any configuration change and keep Open Claw updated regularly.
