title: How to use a remote node in the GUI wallet
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
## 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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Connecting to the node from the GUI wallet
|
||||||
|
After you enter your password for your wallet, you will see a pop up that will give you the option to "use custom settings". Click on it. You will then be
|
||||||
|
sent to the "Settings" page in the GUI. At this point you should see two text boxes to the right of a label that says "Daemon address". In the first box (the on to the left) you need to enter 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. The smaller box to the right is where you enter 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.
