Dear all,

is it possible to connect a **Monitor** and a Keyboard to my **UmbrelHome** , in order to try solve my problem [Unable to access UmbrelHome after installing UFW Firewall](https://community.umbrel.com/t/unable-to-access-umbrelhome-after-installing-ufw-firewall/20787) by opening Ports directly from the Terminal within the Advaced Settings of the UmbrelOS?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Fede

Yes, what you want is possible. For some strange reason that I still can’t understand (or I don’t want to think badly), the guys at umbrelos hide the HDMI port in the umbrel home.

The following video may help you.

Thank you very much for sharing this Video, [jofraprez](https://community.umbrel.com/u/jofraprez)! That’s great!!

I was trying - without success - to access my UmbrelHome, after to have installed a **UFW** (probably blocking all the Ports: 22, 80, 8080, 443, etc.) and it seems my only chance is try to connect directly to the UmbrelHome with a Monitor and the Keyboard.
