What This Skill Does

The vpn skill is a sophisticated meta-orchestrator designed for OpenClaw agents to navigate restrictive network environments. When an AI agent encounters access blocks—such as geo-fencing, IP-based rate limiting, or regional censorship—this skill serves as the intelligent layer to diagnose and bypass these obstacles. It does not simply toggle a connection; it performs a multi-stage validation process that includes detecting the nature of the block, validating the tunnel path (via WireGuard, Tailscale, or native provider CLIs), verifying the new exit node's public IP, and performing DNS safety checks. It is designed to be fully compliant with user security policies by requiring explicit authorization before modifying system routing, ensuring that every network change is intentional, auditable, and logged for transparency.

Installation

To integrate this skill, ensure the core dependencies are available in your environment. Run the following command in your terminal:

npx -y clawhub@latest install shell-scripting curl-http wireguard tailscale dns ipinfo moltguard

After installation, verify that the required binaries are reachable in your system path by running npx -y clawhub@latest list. Ensure that relevant environment variables such as IPINFO_TOKEN are exported if you require higher geolocation precision.

Use Cases

• Regional Parity Checks: Automatically switch to specific global regions to verify if data, pricing, or content differs based on the user's apparent geography.
• Blocked Workflow Recovery: If an automated task, such as scraping or API interaction, returns a 403 Forbidden error, the vpn skill can analyze the blockage and attempt to resume the task through an alternative, secure route.
• Privacy-First Web Browsing: For agents handling sensitive data, this skill ensures that all outbound traffic is routed through verified encrypted tunnels, preventing DNS leakage and ensuring traffic obfuscation.

Example Prompts

1. "I am getting a 403 on the prediction-market-arbitrage task. Please diagnose the network block and switch to a German exit node using Tailscale to attempt a resume."
2. "I need to test if our site's landing page changes for users in Japan. Use the provider-cli to switch regions and verify the public IP and DNS settings before proceeding."
3. "My current task is being blocked by a local firewall. Can you set up a WireGuard tunnel using my local config, verify the connection safety via MoltGuard, and then retry the API request?"

Tips & Limitations

This skill is an orchestration layer, not a VPN service provider itself. You must provide the necessary tunnel configurations or account credentials. Always ensure your system's kill-switch settings are reviewed if you are dealing with highly sensitive operations. It is not designed to bypass legal restrictions in jurisdictions where such technology is prohibited; please exercise caution and compliance with local laws. Use diagnose-only mode first to ensure your network environment is healthy before performing automated switches.
