How do I Wake-on-LAN over the Internet?
How do I Wake-on-LAN over the Internet?
You can use a mobile app called “Wake-on-Lan” in Android (there are similar apps for iOS, but I haven’t tested it). It can automatically scan your local network and list all of the connected devices. You just search for your machine, add it, and then you can send the magic packet to it whenever you want.
Can I use Wake-on-LAN with WIFI?
The computer must have an Internet connection and be plugged in to power for WoL to work. Wake-on-LAN can be configured to use Ethernet or Wireless.
Does WOL work over VPN?
WOL is a Layer-2 protocol, which means it will not work over the VPN itself (unless your VPN is a L2 bridge, which I doubt). OpenVPN with TAP devices is a L2 VPN/bridge. Most of the time, TUN devices are used though, which is L3.
What is Wake on Internet?
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is an Ethernet or token ring computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened by a network message. The message is usually sent to the target computer by a program executed on a device connected to the same local area network, such as a smartphone.
Does VNC support Wake-on-LAN?
Wake on LAN (which allows turning on a device remotely) Local Port Forwarding (which allows a device at home to receive a signal from the Internet), and, Connect via VNC server (which is equivalent to Team Viewer, except it is open source and allows you to customize it)
Can you send a Magic Packet over WIFI?
Yes, assuming that the Wi-Fi and wired networks are on the same broadcast domain. The WoL “magic packet” is really a layer-2 broadcast frame, not a layer-3 packet. As a broadcast, it will be stopped at a layer-3 boundary.
Does Wol work anywhere?
Because Wake-on-LAN is built upon broadcast technology, it can generally only be used within the current network subnet. There are some exceptions, though, and Wake-on-LAN can operate across any network in practice, given appropriate configuration and hardware, including remote wake-up across the Internet.
