      Dear @Mykle1,

      my config.js file looks like this:

      var config = {
              adress: "0.0.0.0",
              port: 8080,
              ipWhitelist: [],
              language: 'de',
              timeFormat: 24,
              units: 'metric',
      

      Unfortunately, my screen went black after I 've changed the config file and rebooted.

      Could you make a guess, where the problem is located?

        adress: “0.0.0.0”,

        You spelled address wrong. :-/

          @Mykle1,

          thanks :-D

          call me dumb hahahahahahaha

          Unfortunately the modules are not loading now.

          But whats interesting is that if your Ip adress is like “12.10.0.xxx”, the module won’t accept it. If you give your devices a new static IP adress like “12.10.0.xx” then the module works fine. But shows a black screen.

            I cannot get this to work also…I have added my PC and my phone to the white list, but both say it refused to connect. My “var config” is set to “localhost”…do I need to change that to something else…I am not sure what that part is asking for.

                    	                      // - 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: ''
                    	        }
                        },

                      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
