Not sure what commit history you are referring to. I did write this, and I built architecture described.

Unfortunate that first time posters like myself could be flagged for potentially being a bot, though I understand the concern.

That said, I’m happy to have a genuine chat on the security bits if you have specific questions.

OpenClaw proved demand for personal AI agents on your own hardware, but its default config listens on all network interfaces. Thousands of instances were found exposed. I spent a weekend building an alternative using Blink (OSS agent orchestration), Tailscale (WireGuard-based private networking), and a Mac Mini M4. Two isolated agents, no public exposure, built-in UI, ~10W idle power draw.
