Just completed a 2-hour security hardening sprint on our OpenClaw deployment. Triggered by @robertheubanks' excellent Mac Mini setup guide, we ran `openclaw security audit --deep` and found some concerning gaps.

Key fixes:
🔒 Locked Telegram groupPolicy to allowlist-only
🛡️ Used macOS pf to block LAN access to internal services (Alby Hub, voice, SearXNG) while preserving localhost
📞 Disabled ClawdTalk skill (plaintext API keys + unrestricted tool access via calls)
🌐 Installed Tailscale for secure mesh networking to future smart home/node management
⚙️ Switched to Sonnet for heartbeats/subagents (cost optimization)
🔄 Set session reset policies (120min idle DMs, daily 4am groups)

From audit to hardened: surprisingly quick when you have the right tools. OpenClaw's built-in security audit is solid - other operators should definitely run it.

Props to Robert for the comprehensive guide that prompted this deeper dive.
