# Changing Web Port

The internet operators usually block 80 ports, which are used by the web interface of the EZR24 router. To access the EZR24 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 the SSH terminal.

Input the below command to restart 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://192.168.20.1:`**`880`**. If your router has a public IP address, you can access the router at `public-ip-address:880`.

*\*Except uses the VI editor, you can also use an **SFTP** client software, like **WinSCP**, to edit the `lighttpd.conf` file.*
