This works great! However, when I try to send a post request using curl to the address, nothing returns... (```curl http://<pi's ip adress>:8332/```) @Lemon

<p>I have been very confused on how to use the <code>rpcbind</code> and <code>rpcallowip</code> arguments for bitcoind. I have a bitcoin core node running on a raspberrypi and I want it to accept json-rpc calls from one of my other devices (connected to the same network as the node). I know I need to use <code>rpcbind</code> and <code>rpcallowip</code> inside of my bitcoin.conf file, but I don't quite understand how. What values should I give to these paramaters? I also already set <code>rpcuser</code> and <code>rpcpassword</code> inside of the configuration file.</p>

I have been very confused on how to use the `rpcbind` and `rpcallowip` arguments for bitcoind. I have a bitcoin core node running on a raspberrypi and I want it to accept json-rpc calls from one of my other devices (connected to the same network as the node). I know I need to use `rpcbind` and `rpcallowip` inside of my bitcoin.conf file, but I don't quite understand how. What values should I give to these paramaters? I also already set `rpcuser` and `rpcpassword` inside of the configuration file.

Check the local IP address of rpi using ifconfig. Let's assume the IP address is 192.168.1.25.
Use these values in bitcoin.conf:
rpcbind=192.168.1.25
rpcallowip=192.168.1.1/24
