## How do I connect to a wallet server?
[LBRY Desktop](https://lbry.com/get) (version 0.38 and up) is required to configure and connect to a custom wallet server. Navigate to the Settings page and scroll down to experimental settings. Choose **Use custom wallet servers**. Here you can enter the server and port of the wallet server. The connection status will update after a few seconds. If an invalid server is used or it becomes unavailable, you'll lose any wallet and discovery features. If this happens on startup, it will reset to the lbry.tv servers.

This process is mainly meant for power users and will most likely require a dedicated server. Installing and running a wallet server requires two main components, the LBRY full blockchain node and LBRY SDK. We have dockerized this process so it's easy for users to configure and run. Please see our [setup and installation](https://lbry.tech/resources/wallet-server) on how to proceed.
## Manual connection via config file
This requires the creation of a daemon_settings.yml file in the [default data directory](/faq/lbry-directories). Open in text editor and add:
```
lbryum_servers:
- <domain or ip of server>:50001
```
