# Remote Connections and Integrations
For the most up-to-date guides on connecting ZEUS to your node, please visit our [Remote Connections documentation](https://docs.zeusln.app/category/remote-connections).
## Connecting ZEUS to your node
You can connect ZEUS to a remote Bitcoin Lightning node running [Lightning Network Daemon (lnd)](https://github.com/LightningNetwork/lnd) or [Core Lightning](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning).
You must provide ZEUS with your node's hostname, port number, and the macaroon you choose to use in **hex format**. If you need help converting your macaroon to hex format we wrote up a Node.js script that can use
[here](https://github.com/ZeusLN/lnd-hex-macaroon-generator/). Alternatively, if you're running a Unix-based operating system (eg. macOS, Linux) you can run `xxd -ps -u -c 1000 /path/to/admin.macaroon` to generate your macaroon in hex format.
### Tor Connection Guides
ZEUS has support for connecting to you node entirely over the Tor network. You can refer to these guides to set up a Tor hidden service on your lnd node. The instructions are generally interchangeable and typically only require you to change your Tor path.
