What are the ports for Nanopool Monero?
Nanopool’s published Monero mining ports are 14444 for a standard connection and 14433 for an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. Use the port with a Nanopool Monero server address, and check Nanopool’s current setup instructions before you start, since server availability and settings can change.
Which port should you use?
A port is a numbered connection point on a server. For Nanopool’s Monero service, the two options are:
- 14444 — standard TCP: Your miner connects without transport encryption.
- 14433 — SSL/TLS: Your miner uses an encrypted connection. SSL/TLS is the technology that protects data while it travels between your device and the server.
Choose 14433 with TLS enabled if your mining software supports it. Encryption helps protect the connection, but it does not prove that a website or mining app is trustworthy.
Port 14444 is the unencrypted alternative. Neither port makes your processor mine faster or guarantees higher earnings.
How to enter the server and port
For Nanopool’s European Monero server, the address and port look like this:
- Standard:
xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 - Encrypted:
xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14433
The part before the colon is the hostname, which identifies the server. The number after it is the port.
Some mining apps ask for these in separate boxes. Others expect the whole address in one field. If your app has a separate TLS setting, enable it when using port 14433. Simply changing the port number may not automatically enable encryption.
You will also need your Monero wallet address so the pool can identify where your payouts should go. A pool does not need your wallet’s recovery phrase or private keys. Never enter those into mining software or a pool login form.
Why a correct port might still fail
If you cannot connect, first check that you paired the port with the right connection setting:
- 14433: TLS enabled.
- 14444: TLS disabled.
Then check for typing mistakes, an unavailable server, or a firewall blocking the connection. Use Nanopool’s current server list to confirm the hostname rather than guessing another port.
If you are mining through a website, there is another important limit: ordinary browser code cannot connect directly to these TCP mining ports. A browser-based service generally needs an intermediary that translates browser connections into the pool’s mining protocol—the rules used to exchange mining jobs and results. Entering either port into a browser’s address bar will not start mining or open a pool dashboard.
The bottom line
Use 14444 for standard Monero mining connections or 14433 for SSL/TLS, paired with a valid Nanopool Monero hostname. Prefer TLS when supported, confirm the current settings with Nanopool, and remember that these are mining-software ports, not browser page addresses.
