Connect to Your Node

1min

How do I connect to my node?

Once your node is in the 'running' state, you will see a 'Connect' button on your node's dashboard. Once you click it, you will be prompted for your node's password. This is to decrypt your macaroon's backup file. After you have entered your password, click Connect from the menu on the left side of your dashboard and there will be a dropdown box with several external apps you can connect to. The method of connecting to your node changes drastically between applications.

We've provided instructions for some of the most popular applications. Find the application you're using and follow the instructions. If you want to request an application that isn't in our list or help connecting, please email us at [email protected]. 

Please note that we provision TLS certificates that are trusted by browsers. This means that most applications don't require a copy of the TLS certificate when connecting.If you are having troubles connecting to your node, please check your IP Whitelist to ensure you aren't being blocked.
