Private Connect

Secure remote access to your Clawdbot gateway, plus access to private services by name. No VPN or SSH tunnels needed.

What it does

1. •

   Remote Clawdbot Access: Access your Clawdbot gateway from anywhere (phone, laptop) while it runs on a VPS or Mac Mini — without exposing it publicly.

2. •

   Private Service Access: Reach private infrastructure (databases, APIs, GPU clusters) using simple names instead of IPs and ports.
