@tommyk sorry. Danger if I know. Maybe just examples of how it could be.

127.0.0.1 is the address for localhost
192.168. Is a typical default network address setup

I leave it empty, cause I don’t want to force my devices to fixed addresses (dont want the mgmt job)

@sdetweil its all very confusing to me,
could you tell my what all these ips are for from the remote control instructions
ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.0.42”, “::ffff:192.168.0.50”],"

and this… http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote.html
thanks

@tommyk by default, MM does not allow anything outside to connect…
this is from the address , and ipWhitelist settings in config.js

to allow outside access(phone, tablet, laptop) , change those values to these, and restart MM

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[],

later you can tune the ipWhitelist to only allow your phone if you need to limit access from your local network.

the 0.0.0.0 for address means, if you have ethernet and wifi, listen on ALL adapters for incoming traffic…
you could use ONE of them by specifying the exact network adapter address instead of 0.0.0.0 , but usually this leads to unexpected confusion later… (I know I changed from localhost, it why cant I connect from X…)
