Cardano-cli connect to public node

[HeptaSean]

Closest would be this:

Is it possible to access cardano-node on remote server from cardano-cli?

Yes, you can forward the socket through an SSH tunnel. It’s easiest from Linux to Linux, but other combinations of operating systems might be possible. The following will forward the socket /tmp/forwarded.socket on the local machine to the socket /remotedir/cardano-node/state-node-mainnet/node.socket on remotemachine. ssh -nNT -L /tmp/forwarded.socket:/remotedir/cardano-node/state-node-mainnet/node.socket remotemachine Reverse tunneling is also possible.

But you’d need control of the remote server. So, it’s not for accessing public nodes by other people.

There are public APIs like https://blockfrost.io/ or https://www.koios.rest/ that can be used remotely, but not with cardano-cli.
