Connecting Monero Light Wallet on Tails with Remote Node

Question

I have downloaded Monero Command Line Interface on Tails and I tried connecting it to a remote node with this command as described here: https://github.com/monero-project/monero

Command:

sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT

It succeded!

But when I ran this command, I got this error!

DNS_PUBLIC=tcp TORSOCKS_ALLOW_INBOUND=1 torsocks ./monerod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd --rpc-bind-ip 85.194.238.131 --rpc-port-ip 18081 --confirm-external-bind

It shows that it failed to bind the server 85.194.238.131:18081

I spent hours trying connecting it to remote node but failed to do so. Please explain me how should I connect my walla et to remote node.

Answer 1

Many remote node servers use the port 18089 as explained on Connecting to the remote node from the wallet, so you should try using that port.
