## Finding a node
First things first, you need to find a node to connect to! [moneroworld.com](https://moneroworld.com/#nodes) has some great resources for finding nodes. One of the easiest methods
would be to use a node run by moneroworld, but they have a tool for finding random nodes too.

## Opening wallet in Advanced mode
### From an open wallet
If your wallet is already open in a mode, click "Settings" > "Wallet" > "Close wallet"
![Close Wallet](png/remote_node/close_open_wallet.png){:width="600px"}
### From the Welcome screen
At the bottom of the Welcome screen, click ![Change wallet mode](png/remote_node/change_wallet_mode.png), and select "Advanced mode". Open your wallet.

## Connecting to the node from the GUI wallet
A moment after the wallet opens a pop up will appear and give the option to "use custom settings". Click on it, and you will be sent to "Settings" > "Node" in the GUI. 

On this page select 'Remote Node' and there will be four text boxes labeled "Address", "Port", "Daemon username" and "Daemon password". Fill the address of the node that you want to connect to. This address might look like `node.moneroworld.com` or it could look like any old IP address. Then fill the "Port" box with the node's port. The default port is `18081` but if you are using a random node the port that is used will vary. The port for node.moneroworld.com uses 18089. Optionally, fill the username and password if your remote note requires them.

### Your screen should look a bit like this

Simplify versioning system for user guides This new approach doesn't require version numbers and make easier for contributors to understand the status of the document. There are only 3 states: - Outdated: The page is outdated and might not work as expected - Untranslated: The page needs to be translated - Translation outdated: The page is translated, but the original (English) document has been updated To mark a guide as outdated, we change the boolean of the front matter entry 'outdated' in /resources/user-guides/GUIDE. If 'False', the guide is updated. If 'True' all versions of the guide (English included) will show a warning at the bottom of the page. The other 2 states are related to the status of the translated pages and we control them from the language-specific user guides: /_i18n/LANG/resources/user-guides/GUIDE. At the top of the page a snippet will include 2 parameters: - translated: "yes" if the page is translated, "no" if it's not. - translationOutdated: "yes" if the translation is outdated, "no" if it's not This new system aims to be simpler than the precedent, avoiding to compare versioning numbers and using a higher level system instead (yes, no, True, False). I also removed the middle way status 'only minor changes', because if there are only minor changes that don't affect the usability of the guide, we don't need to point it out. The old system was complex and people didn't use it. These changes will hopefully make things easier for translators and other contributors. 2020-05-03 13:38:01 +00:00			`{% include disclaimer.html translated="no" translationOutdated="no" %}`
