          hmmm stuck. I get the create a config screen Heres what I have

          var config = {
          	address: "0.0.0.0", // Address to listen on, can be:
          	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
          	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
          	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
          	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
          	port: 8080,
          	ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
          	                                                       // 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"],
          	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
          	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
          

          then on my config

          		 {
          	        module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
          	        // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
          	        // , position: 'bottom_left'
          	        // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
          	        config: {
          	            apiKey: ''
          	        }
              },
          

          thanks for helping the clueless rookie

            you have mm listening on all adapters 0.0.0.0 which correct but the 2[] brackets of your ip whitelist the other side is completely empty.

            What is your routers address? Usually its something like 192.168.1.1 if it was that then 192.168.1.0/24 would allow any local ip to access connected internally on your network

                yeah but you have wiped what there before have a look at :-
                ```
                (3) For security reasons, the MagicMirror (and therefore the Remote Control) is not reachable externally. To change this, configure address, and ipWhitelist in your config.js (see these lines in the sample config). For example change address to 0.0.0.0 and add two allowed devices with IP-Adresses 192.168.0.42 and 192.168.0.50:

                address : '0.0.0.0',
                port: 8080,
                ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.0.42", "::ffff:192.168.0.50"],"
                

                You can also add multiple devices in an IP range (e.g. all devices with 192.168.0.X):

                ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.0.1/120", "192.168.0.1/24"],
                
                
                Have a look at config.js.sample to get the originals back.
                
                Then as it is above your router ip address might be 192.168.1.1 so it would be the above but with ::ffff:192.168.1.42, ::ffff:192.168.1.50  you can also put your router address in there but make the last octal 0/24 and you can then access from your desktop.
                
                Then the next big thing you are missing is apiKey: "",         // Optional, See API/README.md for details

                  I think I have yet I still am getting config screen.

                  var config = {
                  	address: "0.0.0.0",
                  	ipWhitelist: [], 
                  
                  	language: "en",
                  	timeFormat: 12,
                  	units: "imperial",
                  
                  {
                  		    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
                  		    // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
                  		    , position: 'bottom_left'
                  		    // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
                  		    config: {
                  		        customCommand: {},  // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below
                  		        customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
                  		        showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
                  		        apiKey: "",         // Optional, See API/README.md for details
                  		    }
                  		},
                  
                  

                  I also watched this and at 4:41 seem to have exactly the same thing.

                    Your config entry for MMM-Remote-Control is missing a comma after position: 'bottom_left'. It’s not your fault as I see you copied it directly from the readme. I removed the comments. Try this entry below;

                    {
                        module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        config: {
                            customCommand: {},
                            customMenu: "custom_menu.json", 
                            showModuleApiMenu: true,
                            apiKey: "", 
                        }
                    }, 
                    

                    I have not tested this as I do not use this module. However, it should work for you unless something else is amiss in your config

                      @Mykle1 its weird. I have a working config. I add the module exactly as you have it, I follow the directions and it doesn’t work. I have tried adding my phone IP into the whitelist area, doesn’t work. I followed the directions from the video which match your suggestion of

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

                      and still nothing. The crazy thing is I somehow got it working once before. then i had to rebuild my config and here I am.
