hi,

how do I use grin-wallet with a node running from a different machine on the same network?

from what i understand if connecting to a remote node i would type:  
grin-wallet -r http://some\_address:3413 info

can i instead do something like:  
grin-wallet -r 192.168.0.33:3413 info ?

thanks

Sure, you can use remote GRIN API calls, for example like this using our free and public API you can use for free:

> CLI:  
> ./grin-wallet --api\_server\_address “[https://grinnode.live:3413](https://grinnode.live:3413)”

or add this to your grin-wallet.toml file for permanent usage

> grin-wallet.toml :  
> check\_node\_api\_http\_addr = “[https://grinnode.live:3413](https://grinnode.live:3413)”
