## Can I run the RaspiBlitz without a display/LCD?
The display is one of the nice features of the RaspiBlitz but the raspberry can run without it. Maybe not all add-on feature could be used to the full extend, but you can get started without the LCD and even plug it on later.
The display is one of the nice features of the RaspiBlitz but the raspberry can run without it. Maybe not all add-on feature could be used to the full extend, but you can get started without the LCD and even plug it on later. Enabling VNC provides a reasonable compromise.
Normally with the LCD it's easy to see your local IP changes and you can get started quickly. Without it needs a bit more digging thru your network - you can find a good tutorial on that on the RaspiBolt tutorial (origin of RaspiBlitz):

*Please Note: Without a LCD-Hat you cannot simply use the HDMI as alternative, because screen signal is routed to the GPIO pins. On how to switch that back manually - see [waveshare documentation](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A)).*
## How do I set up VNC?
Enter the Console/Terminal by selecting the last option from the Raspiblitz menu
Enable the VNC server using raspi-config:
sudo raspi-config > Interface Options > VNC > Enable. Reboot.
Set a password for the VNC Server:
sudo vncpasswd -service
Set the Authentication parameter:
sudo echo "Authentication=VncAuth" > /etc/vnc/config.d/common.custom
Restart the VNC Server for settings to take effect
sudo systemctl restart vncserver-x11-serviced
Open the relevant port in the firewall (ufw):
sudo ufw allow vnc
Note: You may have to set the resolution through raspi-config in certain situations:
sudo raspi-config > Advance Options > Resolution
Hint: From macOS, there is a built in VNC client hidden away at: /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Screen\ Sharing.app
## I have two RaspiBlitz in my network - can they both be public?
Yes but you need to change at least on one RaspiBlitz the port number (for example to 9736) on one of your RaspiBlitzes - see how to change a port below. Then you can forward both ports from your home internet router to the matching RaspiBlitzes.
