Wake on WAN

Post by Ken »

Hello,

I've been playing around with WOL across my network, and was wondering if gargoyle supports WOL by allowing a UDP forward across port 9 to the subnet broadcast address 192.168.1.255. The naieve approach of port forwarding to 192.168.1.255 clearly is not a solution. Is there a way to achieve this?

Are there better methods you recommend? My end goal is simply to have the router send a magic packet across the boardcast address with some given MAC for the computer to wake.

I don't thing gargoyle is really designed to wake up PC on a different subnet
