   {
     "gateway": {
       "port": 18789,
       "mode": "local",
       "bind": "loopback",
       "auth": { "type": "token", "token": "your-super-long-secure-token-here" },

   Bash

   tailscale serve --bg --yes 18789
   openclaw gateway restart
   

5. In the Claw To Talk app Enter your Tailscale MagicDNS address (e.g. wss://your-machine.tailnet.ts.net) and the gateway token.

6. Approve the device

   Bash

   openclaw devices list
   openclaw devices approve \x3Cdevice-id>

• "Not authorized" → Run the approve command
• Voice sounds robotic → Add ElevenLabs API key
• Port issues → Use exactly port 18789 as shown above
