I am having the same problem. Does @Jopyth just need to update or is there a bigger issue?
-
Hi all,
it works.
That is my part of config with the ipwhitelist.
ipWhitelist: [ "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.1/24", ],hope it will help all other user.
-
I know I probably sound dumb, but what is ipWhitelist, and will mine look different than yours?
Thanks anyway. -
if you update to the new magic mirror, this will be a new option in the config.js.
Take a look to the config.js.sample file witch is delivered with the new version of magicmirror.
-
Cool! Do I just keep it the way it is, but format it differently, or do I have to add anything?
-
if your ip is from germany and you use ip4, than u can take it like it is.
It has just another format and added “::ffff:192.168.1.1/24”,
-
I tried that and it didn’t work. Is it because I am in America?
-
the you must change this…
“::ffff:xxx.xxx.1.1/24”,
Substitude the xxx with your American numbers.
-
It still doesn’t allow me to remote control it from my computer. Does it have to end in 1.1/24, or should I put ::ffff:(MY IP ADRESS)/24?
-
Nothing seems to work for me. I will just set it back to what it was.
-
do not change the end.
In my case i change only this because it is standard in my region and given from my internet provider.
192.168.In your internet region you have other access address from your provider and you must change my example with numbers of your region.
-
My ip address starts with 192.168 too, but now that I try to change everything back, it doesn’t work.
-
Everything is fine. I will figure things out later. Thank you! @lolobyte

Are there any more problems with the Remote Control module? I want it perfect since my mirror will be a gift. If there are any more issues, what are they?
-
see my last post in this part of the forum.

If someone still has issues with the IP whitelist, please check this thread. For the other issues, if someone has clean steps to reproduce them, please post here or on the github issues linked in that post.

Hello,
I’m building my first MagicMirror. I tried to add MMM-Remote_Control, and have it showing the website on my MagicMirror that would be used to access the MMM-Remote-Control. The only problem is once I go to the website it says “This device is not allowed to access your mirror. Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.” I am not sure how to know whether I am not running with ‘sudo’ rights like noted in the README.md
-
@febreezey NVM!! I changed my ipwhitelist in my config.js like lolobyte noted. Works perfectly now!
@lolobyte said in MMM-Remote-Control:

It works, and it’s awesome!!
Now, time for a stupid question: since I’m building a touch screen smart mirror, can I run the remote menu on an iFrame? I want to be able to manage the modules and shut down the mirror when I’m not using it -
I just tried to use the “Hello World” module, but that’s what I’ve got
