ipWhitelist HowTo

'Welcome, mate.

Peace!

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

I tried everything wich is written in this post but i cant make it all the time it says:

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

@svenr said in ipWhitelist HowTo:

Please check your config.js

Are you saying that this is in your config.js file and you still cannot connect?

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

Looking at the picture you provided shows your ipWhitelist: [], is populated. Can you try it just like this? ipWhitelist: [],

@Mykle1 like this it works. Thank you for your help!

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
