OpenClaw rescue session
Stuck on OpenClaw gateway, auth, dashboard, or VPS access?
Book a focused remote troubleshooting session. We work through your live setup over screen share, restore stable access when possible, and leave you with a short recovery runbook.
What I help with
For broken, unstable, or half-working OpenClaw installs
Gateway and Control UI
Dashboard/chat access, gateway daemon health, foreground vs systemd gateway confusion, token propagation, and clean restart flow.
Token and auth failures
Gateway token missing, token mismatch, browser storage issues, OpenAI/Codex model auth repair, and verification that auth works end to end.
Secure remote access
Tailscale, documented SSH tunnels, secure browser context problems on public HTTP, reverse proxy sanity checks, and safer access paths.
VPS and cloud recovery
Ubuntu/Vultr-style server checks, firewall and port basics, process inspection, logs, updates, and recovery after reconnect or upgrade issues.
Project integrity checks
Verify your workspace files are still present, avoid deleting or restructuring your project, and separate app issues from OpenClaw issues.
Recovery runbook
You leave with concise notes: what was broken, what changed, how to restart safely, and what to check next time it fails.
Good fit
Use this when you need a second pair of hands now
- OpenClaw worked before an update, reconnect, or server change.
- The dashboard opens but chat, gateway, or auth keeps failing.
- You need a clean access method instead of random tunnel attempts.
- You want someone to diagnose live while you keep control of secrets.
Not a fit
This is not a full implementation sprint
- No guaranteed fix inside one call.
- No deleting or restructuring your project.
- No credential handling on my side; you type secrets yourself.
- No large feature build, agent design, or production migration in one rescue slot.
Session flow
How the rescue call works
Book and describe the failure
Paste the error symptoms, OS/VPS, OpenClaw version, and what changed right before it broke.
Screen share, you drive
We inspect logs, process state, config, tunnels, gateway health, and model auth without exposing secrets.
Stabilize or isolate
We either restore access or isolate the blocker enough that you know the next exact action.
Leave with notes
You get a short recovery runbook: restart commands, access method, known risks, and follow-up items.
Before the call
Useful prep
Do not send secrets. Have these ready so the session starts fast:
- OpenClaw version and install path.
- OS, VPS provider, and whether gateway runs under systemd, Docker, or a foreground shell.
- The exact error messages, with tokens redacted.
- Whether you want Tailscale, SSH tunnel, reverse proxy, or local-only access.
Ready when it is worth fixing live
Book the 60-minute OpenClaw rescue session.
$150 fixed scope. Optional 30-minute extension for $75 only if we both agree continuing is useful.
