    Maybe I have missed this from someone else, but one important thing about the whitelisting message:

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

    The EXACT SAME message appears (in my case) if the config.js has syntax errors. Locally your mirror will tell you that there is no config file or just give you a black screen, but if you try to reach it from outside through a browser (Firefox and Chrome in my case) with a broken config.js, you will get the whitelisting message above.

    So, before trying to get your ipWhitelist in the right shape, make sure you have no other syntax errors with the mirror, e.g. using

    npm run config:check
    

    If you had some and had them corrected, be safe and restart the mirror.
    Below you can see the example in my case.

    pi@magicmirror2:~ $ tail ~/.pm2/logs/mm-out-0.log
    No helper found for module: helloworld.
    All module helpers loaded.

        I just updated to the latest version of MM and am having White-list issues once again. I am using my exact same config.js file that was allowing any incoming connection. prior to the upgrade. I have attempted to debug but am not seeing any connection refusals in the mm-out-0.log. I have tried various fixes from posts on this forum, including disabling IPv6. I have confirmed my CIDR criteria using https://www.ipaddressguide.com/cidr#range attempting different variations to get anything to pass through with no luck.

        I use MMM-syslog as a notification system from various sources and am basically in the dark now. Is there anyone having similar issues with the latest version, any luck on how to fix?

          Have you tried this at the beginning of your config?:

          var config = {
          	address: "0.0.0.0", 
          	port: 8080,
          	ipWhitelist: [],

                Hello All. I recently upgraded my magic mirror and no matter what changes I make I can’t get ipwhitelist to work. I have searched the forums and every suggestion I have come across hasn’t rectified my issue. I had it working just fine prior to the upgrade. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

                Thanks,
                Illskool

                  How long ago was your last update?

                  Just to be sure, have you tried @Mykle1’s solution, which seems to help in most of the cases this has happened in recent months?

                  var config = {
                      address: "0.0.0.0", 
                      port: 8080,
                      ipWhitelist: [],
                  

                  adding the “address” part on the top of the config? This seems to be mandatory for the newer versions of MM.

                  Also, be sure to have no syntax error in your config.
                  Run

                  npm run config:check
                  

                  from your MM directory and see of there are no errors.
                  Done all that?

                    Thanks for the quick response. I’m not sure if I just overlooked it or if I’m just exhausted from trying to figure this issue out for the past several hours, but either way your tip solved my problem. I thank you very much.

                    I’ve been working on a new project to stream a camera I have setup on another raspberry pi on my local network to the magic mirror. My oil tank is under my house in a crawl space and I’m tired of making the crawl every couple of weeks to see how much oil I have left. I was able to use an infrared camera to stream the video and display it on the mirror using Iframe. I didn’t want it to be visible on the mirror unless I wanted to do a quick check and thats when I realized that the remote module would solve my issue but I couldn’t access it. You have helped finish my project. I can now go to sleep:)

                    Cheers

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