Remote Access: Tailscale Tunnel-only Workflow

This page documents the only supported remote-access model.

Policy

  • Host machine keeps ClawControl bound to loopback (127.0.0.1:3000).
  • Remote machine accesses host via SSH local forwarding over tailnet.
  • tailscale serve is not allowed for ClawControl.

Host Steps

  1. Start ClawControl normally.
  2. Verify loopback listener.
lsof -nP -iTCP:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN

Remote Steps

ssh -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 <user>@<host-tailnet-name>
Then open http://127.0.0.1:3000 on the remote machine.

Not Allowed (repeated for operator safety)

  • tailscale serve
  • non-loopback bind
  • reverse proxy/public tunnel exposure
