monero.rs Public Monero full node

monero.rs / mainnet

Public Monero full node.

Free access to a community-operated mainnet RPC endpoint for wallets and tools. Connect over TLS without an account or credentials.

HTTPS RPC monero.rs:18081

  • Mainnet
  • Full node
  • Free access
  • Restricted RPC
  • TLS

The endpoint is provided as-is, with best-effort availability. As with any public node, do not rely on it as your only path to the network. You can inspect its current daemon response at /get_info .

Connect

Point your wallet at the node

Keep this endpoint configured as untrusted. It does not require a username or password.

Monero CLI

Linux example using the system CA bundle:

monero-wallet-cli \
  --daemon-address monero.rs:18081 \
  --untrusted-daemon \
  --daemon-ssl enabled \
  --daemon-ssl-ca-certificates \
    /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  --daemon-ssl-allow-chained

The CA bundle path varies by operating system. Do not use --trusted-daemon for a public node you do not control.

Quick check curl --fail --silent --show-error https://monero.rs:18081/get_info

Before you connect

A remote node is still a third party

TLS protects traffic in transit. It does not hide your network metadata from the node operator.

The node does not need

Your seed, private keys, wallet file, view key, or directly readable balance.

The operator can observe

Your connecting IP, request timing, submitted transactions, and the outputs they spend.

The practical rule

Use public nodes as a convenience. Run your own node when privacy and reliability matter.

Details: Remote Nodes and Privacy

The better default

Run your own node when you can

A full or pruned node validates the blockchain and removes a remote operator from your wallet’s view of it. If transaction-to-IP unlinkability matters, also follow Monero’s Tor or I2P guidance—a local node on clearnet does not hide every kind of network metadata.
