      it still isnt working :( Here is my config now…

      var config = {
              port: 8080,
              ipWhitelist:   [],                                     // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                          address:"0.0.0.0",                         // 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:192.168.3.0/2$

        You tried with and without the address line?

        I know, it can be frustrating. Other people have had a similar problem. What I suggested to you has helped some of them. I’m sorry that it didn’t. Perhaps try searching the forum for Whitelist and see what you come up with. This one if just from the other day.

          I do thank you for your time, but that thread is someone with the exact same problem as me and the answer is the same one you posed here and it doesnt work.

          Why does it seem only a few people are having this issue?

            I really can’t say why it happens to some and not others. It’s hard to troubleshoot for someone when there are so many unknowns. There are so many different setups (various Pi’s, PC’s, Mac’s, etc) all running different OS’s (various Raspbian flavors, various Windows versions, Mac OS, various uBuntu versions). This make’s it impossible for “one fix fits all” solutions. Personally, I do the best I can to help people that ask for help. There are many Whitelist topics that have been posted. I can only suggest that you use the search function here on the forum. In the meantime, someone else may have a suggestion that might work for you.

            Best of luck to you

                Not my area, but I was reading this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1326/ipwhitelist-howto/8
                and it mentions that the whitelisting on a range is for IPv6 , so maybe not working with IPv4.
                Hope that help

                    FOUND A WAY TO RESOLVE THIS!

                    Add

                    cat /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf 
                    # Don't load ipv6 by default
                    alias net-pf-10 off
                    # uncommented
                    alias ipv6 off
                    # added
                    options ipv6 disable_ipv6=1
                    # this is needed for not loading ipv6 driver 
                    blacklist ipv6
                    

                    to turn off all IPv6 on the Raspi.
                    Than edit all the IPv6 out of your config file.

                     },
                            ipWhitelist: [
                                    "192.168.0.92",
                                    "192.168.0.1/24",
                                    "127.0.0.1"
                    
                    

                    I still have the .92 in there from testing. It is not needed.

                    did a sudo reboot just for safe measure and now it all seems to be working as intended. No real idea what the actual issue was…but it is resolved. FINALLY! :)

                      I just realized something. The machine I’m working on had MM 2.1.1 on it. I upgraded to MM 2.1.2 and lo and behold, the IPWhitelist is as whacked as can be. So, if I gave bad information, which I did, please excuse my oversight.
                      Peace!

                        So, After a research about all this mess it up, the problem was a bug inside of ipfilter and MagicMirror too. When I added inside the sample config I’ve using express-ipfilter@0.2.4 In this version has a bug was fixed in 0.3.1 https://github.com/baminteractive/express-ipfilter/commit/4adc5dc33e6ef5086e36a7a56184da7cdcd056bf

                        The bug for MagicMirror was fixed some weeks ago,
                        https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/commit/a7297d2685f5ed9b6b34df496065f05ee0d36568

                        You can using now the develop branch or install express-ipfilter previous of the 0.3.1
