      The default of [] doesn’t work at all for me. I’m happy to let all devices on my network access my mirror, how do I do this?

      It’s not the simplest of features is it!

      Hoping someone can help me here :/

        @Mitchfarino Are you sure?, Can you show the config/config.js ?

        There some logs when did you run and access it?

          I’m just at work at the moment, so I’ll post my config when I get home.

          When I leave it as it originally was in the config, the mirror loads but I can’t get MMM-RemoteControl to work as it gives me the permission error

          Then when I replace it with [] it fails to load the mirror and tells me to create a config.js file

            The remoter control module is not working for me to any extent, when I whitelist the IPs for my school’s wifi (following the HowToWhitelistIP thread’s directions) in every way stated, I get the “this device is not allowed to access…” message. Then, when I allow all IPs access I get the “cannot get remote/html” message. Any help would be great! Thanks!

              Hi @mochman,
              I was wondering, if the whitelist could be used to limit the access to different MM sub-sites? I would like to have the MM screen itself open to a larger set of IP addresses but would like to lock down the MMM-RemoteControl & MMM-AdminInterface sites and limit access to my own devices.
              Any idea how to achieve this?
              Thanks for your advice!

                It helps to read a little…
                http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/application-whitelisting

                +| ipWhitelist | The list of IPs from which you are allowed to access the MagicMirror². The default value is ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"]. It is possible to specify IPs with subnet masks (["127.0.0.1", "127.0.0.1/24"]) or define ip ranges (["127.0.0.1", ["192.168.0.1", "192.168.0.100"]]). Set [] to allow all IP addresses. For more information about how configure this directive see the follow post ipWhitelist HowTo |

                  @cowboysdude Thanks for your reply. My white Lists work fine for the MM2 screen. I was looking for a way to separately limit access to the sites generated by the Remote Control and Admin interface module. Any ideas?

                    Honestly the best thing to do is ask the creator of those modules ;) I don’t do the ipWhitelist.

                      @cowboysdude Maybe you’ll be able to help, I’ve tried doing [ ], I’ve tried whitelesting all IPs as shown in here, and the only thing I have been able to get to work is whitelisting specific IPV4 and IPV6 addresses. That was fine because my most used devices have static IPs anyway however the issue comes now that I have port forwarding and am trying to open it up to any IP (I am aware of the security ramifications)

                        @mochman I’m experiencing a similar problem to the one @looolz describes above.

                        I can access through SSH (putty) no problem. I’ve seen the logs “Access denied to …” and added the two addresses (my laptop and mobile) to the ipWhitelist.

                        I’ve also added the “…1.1/120” and “…1.1/112” to the list but I still get access denied.

                        I did get both devices working for a while - but was then denied access through putty! I’d really like to be able to access through mobilebrowser for MMM-remotecontrol AND SSH for other work.

                        The reason for this comment is that I checked wlan0 and I have an inett6 addr listed.

                        You mention this above but don’t say what to consider next. If you’re still around and have any thoughts about this I’d appreciate it!

                        resulted in me being able to connect from mobile/laptop but meant that SSH stopped working.
