# Static port
For a **storage deal**, you may want to set a static port and open it in your firewall to ensure clients can connect to you.
Lotus binds to a random **swarm port** by default.
## Setup
To change the random **swarm port**, you may edit the `config.toml` file located under `$LOTUS_PATH`. The default location of this file is `$HOME/.lotus`.
Here is an example of changing the port to `1347`.
```sh
[Libp2p]
ListenAddresses = ["/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/1347", "/ip6/::/tcp/1347"]
```
Once you update `config.toml`, restart your **daemon**.
## Ubuntu's Uncomplicated Firewall
Open firewall manually
```sh
# ufw allow 1347/tcp
```
Or open and modify the profile located at `/etc/ufw/applications.d/lotus-daemon`
```sh
[Lotus Daemon]
title=Lotus Daemon
description=Lotus Daemon firewall rules
ports=1347/tcp
```
Then run the following commands
```sh
$ ufw update lotus-daemon
$ ufw allow lotus-daemon
```
