OpenClaw's browser is the VPS country

This page as markdown: https://aluvia.io/geo/openclaw.md

OpenClaw running on a VPS or cloud host opens sites from that machine. Geo-restricted content then follows the datacenter IP: the host country's version, or a refusal.

Writeups about VPS installs and a real browser often jump to fingerprint. The first failure is frequently simpler: the site is choosing a country from the host IP before any fingerprint check runs.

The command

npx aluvia-cli setup
aluvia geos
aluvia proxy-on --geo US

Replace US with the country the restricted page expects. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes.

Install with npx aluvia-cli setup on the OpenClaw machine, then aluvia proxy-on --geo US. Aluvia sends the browser through a residential or mobile IP in the country the page needs.

What this does not do

An OpenRouter message that this model is not available in your region is an API-region problem, not the browser. Use this page for sites OpenClaw opens, not for the model picker.
