          Hi,

          sorry, this is a very long thread I stumbled upon because I had the problem that my browser told me that I cannot connect to a server only instance of mm2. The terminal output gave me an “Access denied to IP address” and printed the ip address I configured in the ipWhitelist section of the config file according to the getting started section in the documentation and the comment in the config itself.

          What I was doing was following this advice:

          // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
                                                                                                                                  // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
          

          the ip rejected was 192.168.178.42, therefore I used first

          "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.178.42"
          

          BUT I think I have to use (at least this is what makes it working)

          "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "192.168.178.42"
          

          Does this make any sense to you?

          Kind regards

          Marco

            @esamecar what is your address: setting?

            to allow systems from OUTSIDE the MagicMirror hardware, you must use something OTHER than “localhost”

            you can either use “0.0.0.0” , which means use any ip address on this machine to listen to requests
            or the actual ip address (which can change )
            use

            ip addr
            

            to get the address of the wifi or ethernet connected interface

            THEN
            you can fiddle with the whitelist …

            using the whitelist (IMHO) is really only useful in a commercial setting where someone in the office MIGHT scan for open IP addresses and try to connect to a range of ports…

            in my house, noone is getting on my network unless I let them …

              @sdetweil thanks for your answer

              I was using “0.0.0.0” as ip addr already as advised in the documentation but could not pass the ipWhitelist section … omitting the “::ffff:” part helped. (Now everything is up and running.)

                  @sdetweil thanks, now I understand; so omitting that part completely makes sense in an ipv4 environment I guess.
