安全加固防锁死：把 SSH/Fail2Ban/UFW/Tailscale 改为分阶段上线

问题/场景：一次性加固 SSH、防火墙与网络隔离时容易把自己锁在门外。前置：有控制台或备用回滚入口。实施步骤：先备份现网，再单项变更并逐项验证，最后再叠加策略。关键命令：`sshd -t`、`ufw status verbose`。验证：每一步变更后都能保持 SSH 与 OpenClaw 可用。风险：无 out-of-band 控制台时，高风险变更应延后。来源：Reddit 实战复盘，结合常见运维基线整理。

Prerequisites

You have a break-glass access path (cloud console, serial, or KVM).
Current SSH + firewall config backups are saved before changes.

Steps

Start from inventory: list active listeners, current SSH auth mode, firewall rules, and OpenClaw bind/auth settings.
Apply one control at a time (e.g., SSH key-only), validate with a second terminal session before proceeding.
Enable Fail2Ban/UFW incrementally; whitelist required management IP/VPN paths first.
Move OpenClaw exposure behind private networking (Tailscale/VPN) and keep gateway auth in token mode.
Run post-change checks: SSH reconnect, `openclaw gateway status`, and one real command from your messaging channel.

Commands

sshd -t

sudo systemctl reload sshd

sudo ufw status verbose

openclaw gateway status

openclaw doctor

Verify

After each hardening step, SSH remains reachable and OpenClaw still responds through the intended channel.

Caveats

Do not enable multiple blocking controls simultaneously on remote hosts without console fallback.
Fail2Ban/UFW exact policy values depend on traffic profile and may need host-specific tuning（需验证）.
