Wallet to connect to local light node

dfmines Cryptocurrency News April 18, 2022 | 0

I started Ethereum on my local machine with geth --syncmode light --http, the light sync did complete and the log says:

INFO [04-18|07:01:37.267] HTTP server started endpoint=[127.0.0.1:8545](https://127.0.0.1:8545) auth=false prefix= cors= vhosts=localhost

I couldn't connect with Firefox MetaMask plugin: When I add http://localhost:8545 into the configuration it always complains:

I downloaded MyEtherWallet and running it locally. Browser renders myetherwallet MEW fine. I couldn't connect with MyEtherWallet, simply because I can't find in the Gui where to specify my network.

What options do I have to use a local wallet (GUI) to connect to my light snyced network?
