        @nneuland the address and ipWhilelist fields control what clients can connect to MagicMirror

        address set to “localhost”, means only apps INSIDE the same machine can connect

        changing to “0.0.0.0” (all adapters) means SOME systems outside the MM machine can connect,
        and ipWhitelist give a list of address masks to test if those systems are allowed

        for easy access , and no security for anyone on your local lan/wifi), address:“0.0.0.0” and ipWhiltelist:[] will allow anyone on your lan/wifi to connect to the MagicMirror application

          Thank you for the reply. After adjusting the address to “0.0.0.0” and adding my IP, I’m in a holding pattern of blank screen and curser, and no connection to the http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote.html website.
