      Good. Now all the devices on your network have access. If you want to limit access to specific devices then you should search this forum for ipWhitelist info. This topic has been discussed at length

        @lavolp3 said in ipWhitelist HowTo:

        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.

        I wanted to quote this as it just happened to me. MM was working fine remotely. I made some edits to config.js and got the dreaded “This device is not allowed to access your mirror…" message. I hadn’t edited the whitelist, so I started doing all of the network troubleshooting. Seeing this post reminded me I had done some edits and sure enough, I missed a comma somewhere and the screwed it all up. Fixing that unrelated entry in the config.js made this error go away.

            I have tried all of the suggestions to get MMM-Remote-Control to work and I cannot figure anything out. Any help would be appreciated. I keep getting Cannot GET /remote.html and I’m not sure what to do from here.

              That doesn’t sound like an ipWhitelist problem. Did you install MMM-Remote-Control per the instructions? If so, what exactly are you getting your error message on and what are the IPs of your magicmirror and device?

                    Re: [[Remote-Control] Shutdown](Configure and Update your MagicMirror)

                    Has anyone found a fix for the issue below? I tried hardcoding my raspberry pi IP address and creating a range of acceptable IP addresses but still not able to access the MagicMirror from my desktop or phone. Any advice?

                      hi
                      you must configure your config.js and maybe your interent router.

                      This is my adress for global access to the mm2 via internet browser

                      http://raspi-mm2.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.myfritz.net:8116/

                      an this is a part of my configuration in my config .js

                      var config = {
                              address: "0.0.0.0",
                              port: 8116,
                              ipWhitelist: [],
                      
                      

                      Port forward configuration for my router for global access
