Port overview

ℹ

This serves as a reference guide should you lose track a bit. Understandable, since your node doesn't have a fancy, easy-to-use front end.

The following is a list of all the ports that are approachable on your Raspberry Pi. You can access certain tools by entering in your browser the IP address of your Pi followed by the port number. For example 192.168.1.6:3002 to see BTC RPC Explorer. If you want to access the tools over Tor, you will need to modify the torrc file for each tool. You can then make certain ports accessible to the outside world and forward them to a local port on your Pi. How this works is usually explained within The Road to Node in the tool of choice.

We will assume the default values for all tools, with the exception of Thunderhub. This is due to the fact that Ride the Lightning runs on the same port.ort draait.

Bitcoin Core

Port	Function
8332	The JSON-RPC port. With the right username/password combination, you can talk to this. By default, Bitcoin Core only accepts connections from the Pi itself. Therefore, a tool running on the Pi will be allowed to talk to the RPC port, but a random attacker from the outside will not.
8333	This port is responsible for communication with other clients on the Bitcoin network.
28332	The Bitcoin Daemon can use the ZeroMQ protocol to send block information to clients. This way, the clients do not have to make a request via the JSON-RPC every time, but can do so on a subscription basis.
28333	The same as port 28332 but for transactions instead of blocks.

Tor

Port	Function
9050	If you want a particular application to communicate over the Tor network, you must tell the application to use port 9050.

BTC RPC Explorer

Port	Function
3002	The BTC RPC Explorer can be accessed via this port.

Electrum (for Electrs, Electrum X and Electrum Personal Server)

Port	Function
4224	Monitoring of Electrs.
8000	Standard RPC port of the Electrum protocol.
50001	Standard port for TCP connections.
50002	Standard port for SSL connections.
50004	Standard port for secure websocket connections.

Specter

Port	Function
25441	Navigating to this port will show the Specter overview

Lightning Network Daemon (LND)

Port	Function
8080	The port with which the REST API of LND can be accessed. Secured with a so-called macaroon.
9735	The port which connects with other nodes. A bit like 8333 for Bitcoin Core.
10009	The port with which the RPC API of LND makes itself approachable. Secured with a so-called macaroon.

Loop

Port	Function
8081	REST port for loopd.
11010	RPC port for loopd.

Faraday

Port	Function
8465	RPC port for faraday.

Pool

Port	Function
8281	REST port for poold.
12010	RPC port for poold.

Lightning Terminal

Port	Function
8443	LiT runs on this port.

Ride the Lightning

Port	Function
3000	The Ride the Lightning interface can be used if you go to this port.

Thunderhub

Port	Function
4000	By default, this tool is set to port 3000. But since Ride The Lightning already uses that, in this guide we choose port 4000.
