![]() ![]() WOL for WAN seemed to work in the past also. ![]() The 255 is for the subnet broadcast, I'm not sure why it works, but I know that I also entered the MAC address of my onboard LAN. However I got the internal WOL (via wLAN) to work by broadcasting to the local ip address 192.168.1.255 at port 7. I know my mac address for my onboard LAN, and the IP address is the same as my PC's. My router allows it but the manual warns against setting it up. I want to maintain security of my system so I don't want to compromise the firewall by setting up DMZ. To follow up, I am trying to do WOL for WAN. Not all routers will allow this since they know the risks the broadcast entails and some router do not even allow the static ARP. You would then port forward in the NAT pretty much any port to that ip since port/ip mean nothing to WoL. The are hacks that sometime work to make this work but they involve put in a static arp entry to the broadcast ip address and mapping it to the broadcast mac address. Even on commercial router that support it is generally disabled because it can be used as a simple denial of service attack against all the machines on the segment. Generally this takes special support on a router called directed broadcast. How do you send a packet from outside to a broadcast mac address. It very technically should not contain a IP header but many pc will accept that packet. The packet technically is suppose to be one that is sent to the broadcast mac address with the wol mac address in the payload part in a certain pattern. The key problem is your PC that you want to wake does not actually have a IP address so any concept of port forwarding in the router is invalid. There are software packages that will correctly send the packet from a pc on the same network. This is a very special protocol and it really depends how close to the standard the PC enforces. I have that in the app, and have tried waking with broadcast, or without it, and nothing seems to work.Īlso, what does secureon mean? and why would it be on my WOL android app? thanks.įirst thing to get working is to makes sure WoL works from another PC on the same lan network. My subnet mask for the onboard lan is 255.255.255.0. IS that right, or do I set it to my router's MAC? ![]() I got it to work for my other PC, but not this one. Now for the WOL setup on my phone: I want to remotely wake the device from anywhere in the world. This is where I forward the ports to on my router, right? I have external and internal start/end points set to 7 (I tried 9 too). I also enabled WOL magic packets for the network (ethernet) port.Īs for the router port forwarding, I used CMD ipconfig to find the IP address of my onboard LAN device. I went through the hoops so the windows processes are running, and I enabled the ports 7 and 9 in the windows firewall for inbound rule.
