@sdetweil So I’ve updated my MagicMirror today with NPM update and NPM upgrade and my mirror is now black when I load it. My Mirror is pretty busy with NNOA3, video window from MotionEye and a few of the UK train apps. I was going to thin it down to see if that fixes it but thought Id check if anyone else found a fix yet.

I assume you have connected to your magicmirror via a terminal connection before to make sure its on the LAN and that you are using the same IP address with 8080 at the end. EG http:192.168.1.44:8080

@graham-rich said in Conncting to MM from outside:

var config = {
address: “0.0.0.0”,
port: “8080” // added quotes to port: “8080” to correctly reflect my version
// Not sure what your ipWhitelist is saying. For a test set it to
ipWhitelist: [], //You will want to tie this down a little later to prevent it from being too open. Something like [“192.168.1.1”] if you know you local IP address should help once you got it working

I think I’ve been doing the same recently but I wanted to clarify what you meant by outside. The post and replies appear to assume you mean the local LAN (home network). Is this what you mean or are you trying to access this from a remote device or mobile not connected to you home WiFi.

If it the first, then I would confirm that I am using the same setting.

var config = {
address: “0.0.0.0”,
port: 8080

If this is remotely access from another domain, you will need to know your internet providers IP address for your router and setup your route access rules/forwarding.
