### Is there a benefit to using a node on my personal laptop instead of SSH from a VPS?
Yes — nodes are the firstclass way to reach your laptop from a remote Gateway, and they
unlock more than shell access. The Gateway runs on macOS/Linux (Windows via WSL2), so a common
setup is an alwayson host (VPS/home box/Pi) plus your laptop as a node.
unlock more than shell access. The Gateway runs on macOS/Linux (Windows via WSL2) and is
lightweight (a small VPS or Raspberry Pi-class box is fine; 4 GB RAM is plenty), so a common
setup is an alwayson host plus your laptop as a node.
- **No inbound SSH required.** Nodes connect out to the Gateway WebSocket and use device pairing.
- **Safer execution controls.** `system.run` is gated by node allowlists/approvals on that laptop.
