To use a custom remote node, your wallet must be in advanced mode. Simple mode and Simple mode (bootstrap) don't support this feature.
To check if your wallet is in advanced mode, go to Settings > Info and see Wallet mode.
If your wallet is not in Advanced mode, you will have to change it to Advanced mode (see next step).
If your wallet is already in Advanced mode, you can skip the next step.
If your wallet is open, you need to close it first. Go to Settings > Wallet > Close this wallet
The main menu (Welcome to Tuske screen) will open. At the bottom left, click on Change wallet mode button, and on the next page select Advanced mode. Next, open your wallet file again.
You will need to find a public remote node to connect to.
When opening your wallet, a pop up will appear with the option Use custom settings. Click on it, and you will be sent to Settings > Node page.
If you don't see this pop up, go to Settings > Node page.
On this page select Remote Node.
In Address you should fill the address of the remote node that you want to connect to. This address might look like node.tuske.network or it could look like any IP address.
In Port you should fill the port of the remote node. The port can vary depending on the node you are connecting to.
If your remote node requires authentication, you can enter a username in Daemon username and a password in Daemon password.
Finally, click on Ok button then click the remote node address and wait for your wallet to connect.
