How to Set Up OpenClaw (Clawdbot) Without Getting Hacked: Isolation + Least Privilege + Firewall

Описание: Meet Jerry - my new AI employee running OpenClaw on a Mac mini.

But before Jerry gets to work, he needs proper security. AI agents have kernel-level access to your computer, can execute commands, and connect to all your accounts. One mistake and you could lose everything.

I'm walking through a complete secure setup that defends against 10 documented attack vectors, including:
Exposed control panels
Browser session hijacking
Password manager extraction
Prompt injection attacks
And more

THE SETUP:
🔒 Layer 1: VM Isolation (Jerry lives in a cage)
🔒 Layer 2: Network Firewall (Lulu watches all traffic)
🔒 Layer 3: Least Privilege (standard user, separate browser)
🔒 Layer 4: Authentication (user ID allowlists only)
🔒 Layer 5: Monitoring (log everything, daily reviews)

This is the setup I'd use if I were running OpenClaw for a real business. Defense in depth, zero trust, and easy recovery if anything goes wrong.

By the end, you'll know how to:
✓ Create an isolated macOS VM with UTM
✓ Configure a network firewall to whitelist only approved sites
✓ Set up OpenClaw with proper permissions and logging
✓ Connect integrations (Telegram, Discord, Slack) securely
✓ Monitor daily for suspicious activity
✓ Respond to security incidents

Whether you're running OpenClaw for personal use or your company, this guide will be a good start to a secure environment for an insecure technology.
