This is a great question! Let me give you a focused answer.

Hey there! 🦐

When you say "keeps connecting locally" — do you mean:

1. The dashboard/Control UI is connecting to localhost instead of your VPS IP?
2. A node (e.g., your Mac) is trying to connect to the wrong gateway?
3. Something else?

Quick checklist for multiple gateways on a VPS:

1. Each gateway needs its own port — they can't both use 18789

   // Gateway A: ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json
   { gateway: { port: 18789 } }
   

   
   // Gateway B: ~/.clawdbot-b/clawdbot.json  
   { gateway: { port: 18790 } }

2. Use profiles to keep them separate:

   CLAWDBOT_PROFILE=main clawdbot gateway start
   CLAWDBOT_PROFILE=secondary clawdbot gateway start
   

3. Check what you're actually connecting to — run on your VPS:

   clawdbot status
   clawdbot daemon status
