#### RTL Server and LND running on different devices (Local LAN)
2019-03-22 20:52:03 +00:00
If your running RTL and LND on different devices on your local LAN, certain config changes need to be made in LND and RTL conf files.
1. A static IP address must be assigned to the device running LND
2. `admin.macaroon` file must be transferred to the device on which you need to run RTL
3. Add to your lnd.conf file under the [Application Options] section: `restlisten=<ip address of the device running LND>:8080`
4. Restart LND
5. Make the following changes to the RTL.conf file
```
[Authentication]
macaroonPath=<Path of the folder containing 'admin.macaroon' on the device running RTL>
nodeAuthType=CUSTOM
rtlPass=<password in plain text>
[Settings]

lndServerUrl=https://<ip-address-of-device-running-lnd>:8080/v1

In case you need to run RTL with an external node, you need to ensure that RTL is served on https, by running it behind a webserver like [nginx](https://nginx.org/en/download.html) encrypted with your [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) certificate.
