And, did it stop working when you changed something? ---

Your screen capture shows that even after you stop nodered, _something_ is using port 1880. Please run these commands in a terminal window on the Pi and show us the result: ```auto sudo netstat -aon | grep 1880 # This shows what application is using port 1880 sudo systemctl disable nodered # Prevents Node-red automatically running at boot sudo systemctl stop nodered # Stops nodered sudo systemctl status nodered # Shows nodered status sudo netstat -aon | grep 1880 ``` When it is not running, the result you want to see from systemctl status nodered is ```auto ● nodered.service - Node-RED graphical event wiring tool Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nodered.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) ``` Note "disabled" and "inactive" ---

Because node red is hung out may take some time to stop. After telling it to stop run `systemctl status nodered` Until it says it is stopped. ---

insert the command according to urs ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/f/4/f4ab1c6570e4d2aff98e232dd9220cf0e602034d.png) ---

tried `node-red --safe` after some time and it still shows that port in use ---

I think CLOSE\_WAIT shows that the port is being kept open for some connected process which is not responding. Most likely browser windows. It should timeout after 4 minutes. So leave the Pi alone for 4 minutes and run the netstat command again. If there are no more CLOSE\_WAIT lines then you should be able to start it in safe mode. While you wait, reboot your PC. Can we clarify the question of your Pi being accessible from the internet: Have you ever made any changes in your network router to "forward" port 1880 so that you can access Node-red when you are away from home? ---

alright i will wait a few minutes.. i dont think so, all i did to this raspberry is only changing the static ip address, while in the coding part i use the MQTT, others i think is default ---

when i reboot the raspberry and type the command, it looks like nothing is using the 1880 port ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/3/e/3e31a03d6f321b94dcd586f8b920dcaa9f12b5d7.png) ---

Presumably you then tried running node red again in safe mode? ---
