      @looolz When you run the mirror through VNC. If you leave the terminal open then try to open the mirror on your other computer, do you see the

      “This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
      Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.”

      message? If so, does anything pop up in your terminal?

      Another thing to look at, if you run ifconfig and take a look at your wlan0 (assuming you are using wifi to get internet) do you see a “inet6 addr:”? If not, just try adding "10.0.0.95" to the whitelist.

        A way to tell if you need to use "::ffff:192.168.1.120" or just "192.168.1.120"
        Run netstat -lnpt, if you see something like:

        tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1271/electron.js

        Then you are using IPv4 and should add "YO.UR.IP.AD" or "YO.UR.IP.AD/24" to the whitelist.

        If you see: tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN 1170/electron.js

        You are using IPv6 address schemas and need to add "::ffff:YO.UR.IP.AD" or "::ffff:YO.UR.IP.AD/120" to the whitelist.


        If you have IPv6 and want to turn it off, add ipv6.disable=1 to your /boot/cmdline.txt and restart your pi.

          Not a fan of this addition; would have rathered it was something you enable rather than disable.

          For anyone wondering how to allow all ips, use:

          ipWhitelist: ["::fff:0.0.0.0/1", "::fff:128.0.0.0/2", "::fff:192.0.0.0/3", "::fff:224.0.0.0/4", "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],

              @mochman

              Thanks, I do see a inet6 address with the command ifconfig.

              I tried to add 10.0.0.95 to the config with no success :-(

              But @xer0design’s tip worked!

                    @mochman I have put “/24” in my ipWhitelist. Looking around the forum, I’ve seen that “/120” might help. What I have now seems to be working for my devices, so is there a difference between “/24” and “/120” that I should know about? Which is better?

                      @AAPS If /24 is working for you then stick with it. The /120 just allows less IPs the ability to access your mirror.

                      If you aren’t forwarding your pi’s ports outside your local network it really shouldn’t matter.
