===== How To Configure A Node For Direct UI Access (without SSH tunneling)=====
{{:qortal_official_logo_transparent_.png?400|}}

If it's a private node (i.e. port 12391 isn't forwarded or accessible to anyone outside of the network) then the simplest way is to add this to settings.json:
  "apiWhitelistEnabled": false
This will allow all connections to the node, and therefore will allow your UI to talk to it directly.

Alternatively, if you'd like more control over the node's security, you can set a manual whitelist with this setting:
  "apiWhitelist": [
    "::1",
    "127.0.0.1",
    "192.168.0.0/24"
  ]

The first 2 values allow local access. The third value "192.168.0.0/24" would need to be modified to specify the IP or IP range that is allowed to connect. Remove the /24 if entering a single IP address.

For a regular private node, setting "apiWhitelistEnabled": false  is by far the simplest option.

Restart the core after applying any settings. Click the  **CHOOSE CUSTOM NODE** button from Qortal Hub.

Add the node's **IP address with port number** and **API key**. 12391 is the default port.

After adding the node, make sure it is chosen from the list and shows up here.
