Network hub

This hub links the core docs for how OpenClaw connects, pairs, and secures devices across localhost, LAN, and tailnet.

Core model

Pairing + identity

Local trust:

Local connections (loopback or the gateway host’s own tailnet address) can be auto‑approved for pairing to keep same‑host UX smooth.
Non‑local tailnet/LAN clients still require explicit pairing approval.

Discovery + transports

Nodes + transports

Security
