Most people are running AI agents on their local machine — which means they go offline when your laptop closes, have full access to your personal files, and can brick your dev environment if something goes wrong.

This video is all about how to deploy OpenClaw securely on a VPS where it's available 24/7, the right way.

OpenClaw is the open-source AI framework with 181K GitHub stars (as of this video being live) that gives you ONE AI with ONE memory across ALL channels — no more juggling Cursor, Atlas, CodeCowork, ChatGPT, and 5 different MCP servers that don't talk to each other.

I'll show you how to set up your own AI agent on a secure Hostinger VPS, lock it down with Tailscale VPN and Fail2Ban, connect it to Telegram, and put it to work — from reviewing GitHub PRs to transcribing YouTube videos to generating Remotion shorts while you sleep.

We'll cover:

✅ Why you need a VPS instead of running locally (blast radius & security)

✅ One-click Hostinger deployment with the KVM2 plan (use code SUNNY)

✅ OpenClaw CLI onboarding — choosing your model & setting up API keys

✅ Creating a Telegram bot with BotFather and pairing it with OpenClaw

✅ Installing skills: ClawhHub, MCPorter, Whisper, Vercel, Remotion

✅ Securing your server with Tailscale VPN, loopback mode, and Fail2Ban

✅ Real demos: daily reminders, YouTube transcription, video generation

✅ Security best practices — prompt injection risks, access control, monitoring

This isn't just another chatbot tutorial. This is how you deploy an always-on AI agent the right way — isolated, secure, and available 24/7.
