Connecting a Hardware wallet to a full node I'm trying to connect my hardware wallet to my personal full node for the sake of privacy. I need to know the node's IP, port, and RPC credentials. The first two are easy, I can see my full node in bitcodes.io that's up and running. I added the
rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=****

to the bitcoin.conf file. But When I try to connect through my hardware wallet application, it says: The node is not reachable. I'm not sure whether the bitcoind is reading the rpc inputs from the config file or not. Is there anyway that I could try to reach to my node to make sure it's reachable using the rpc credentials.
Here is the content in the bitcoin.conf file:
prune=0
txindex=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=letsbegin
rpcpassword=*****
externalip=xx.xx.xx.xx
How to connect your hardware wallet to a full node depends heavily on what wallet software you're using. But assuming your software connects to a full node via the bitcoind RPC interface:
By default, the RPC listener only listens on localhost. If you want to connect to the RPC service from another computer, you'll have to allow other connections by including these lines in your bitcoin.conf (replace:
server=1
rpcallowip=&lt;add the IP you are connecting from here, or rpcallowip=* to allow all IPs&gt;
rpcport=8332

If you want to simply test whether your bitcoind RPC is accessible, you can simply make an HTTP request to the RPC host at port 8332 from the computer you're trying to connect from.
