I can provide an article containing instructions on how to access RPC (remote call procedure) URL for a local private network on Windows to connect to Metamask.
If you want to connect your Ethereum Wallet to Metamask Locally, here are some information and steps you can follow:
Metamascine connection locally
To locally connect your Ethereum wallet with metamask, you will need to know the RPC URL. Here are general steps:
- Make sure you have an active wallet : You must have a valid Ethereum wallet set on your machine before trying to connect it to a metamask.
- Open Metamask : Open the metamask in your web browser and make sure it is connected to your account.
- Copy Rpc URL : Go to Metamaska go to
Wallet> Settings >
Advanced
>
RPC and Web3 Services and then click on three points next to the “Web3 Service Provider” “And select” Edit “. Copyhttp: // Localhost: 8545Part of your RPC URL -A.
- Update your wallet settings : Return to the Metamaska Settings page, move down to DNA and click the “Advanced” tab. In the “Rpc and Web3 Service” section, enter
WS: // Localhost: 8551(or WSS: // Localhost: 8545If you use https). Save your changes.
- Reboot Metamask
: Run metamask to apply new settings.
If you do not see the RPC URL in the Metamascus settings or you are not sure how to access it, ensure that:
- Your Ethereum wallet is connected and active.
- Your system runs a web browser (eg Chrome, Firefox).
- You are on a local network without firewalls block the connection.
Alternative method:
You can usehttp: // Localhost: 8545` URL as a RPC provider to a metamas without changing your wallet settings. This method allows you to approach Ethereum and communicate locally with smart contracts.
