# Web Port

The Internet operators usually block 80 ports used by the web interface of the outdoor router. To access the outdoor router remotely on the public IP address, we need to change the port for the web interface.

When the router is turned on, access the command-line interface. Input the below command `vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf`. Now, we are in the *command mode* of the VI editor.

* Press **`i`** on the keyboard to enter the *insert mode*.
* Scroll down to line No.89. The original code is `#server.port = 81`.
* Delete `#` and change the server port to `880` for example.
* Press *ESC* on the keyboard. Exit from the *insert mode* to the *command mode*.
* Press `: wq` on the keyboard to save the file and exit to the SSH terminal.

Input the below command to restart the Lighttpd *server /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart*.

```
######### Options that are good to be but not necessary to be changed #######

## bind to port (default: 80)
server.port = 880
```

Now, we should re-login the router admin at `http://192.168.30.1:`**`880`**. If the router has a public IP address, you can access the router at `public-ip-address:880`.

You can also use an **SFTP** client software, like **WinSCP**, to edit the ***Lighttpd.conf*** file.
