## Running a Local Monero Node
|
|
|
|
For the best experience using Haveno, it is highly recommended to run your own local Monero node to improve security and responsiveness.
|
|
|
|
By default, Haveno will automatically connect to a local node if it is detected. Additionally, Haveno will automatically start and connect to your local Monero node if it was last used and is currently offline.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, Haveno will connect to a pre-configured remote node, unless manually configured otherwise.

## UI Scaling For High DPI Displays
|
|
|
|
If the UI is too small on your display, you can force UI scaling to a value of your choice using one of the following approaches. The examples below scale the UI to 200%, you can replace the '2' with a value of your choice, e.g. '1.5' for 150%.
