This isn't super difficult but I will probably need some screen caps of your VPN section in your router GUI as they are all different. Next would be to setup VPN Server on the router, and configure the client on your phone. If it doesn't work we can explore different options.ĭMZ would be the next thing to try as it is easy to configure may not work if WAN port blocks WOL. If you have cellular data you can try to test it out.
Internal and external port 7 or 9 and set for always. Name it whatever you like I like to use Proto-P#-Application as my naming scheme, IP address will be the static IP you setup for the machine, Select UDP proto. For testing purposes you can disable to firewall to see if it will work and tackle the firewall rules after this is the best approach. So on the machine you want to wake in your firewall open UDP port 7 or 9. But we can try to set it up anyway and see if it works.ĭetermine the Port number the app on your phone is using to send the packet should be 7 or 9 UDP I couldn't find enough documentation to determine if the WAN side will drop a WOL packet. Okay so do you have a static IP setup on the machine you want to turn on? If not setup a static address on the NIC.

I do have PIA VPN on that PC but that is for other purposes.
This is something I have no background in though. I do believe it supports VPN servers, again see the spec sheet. Networking is not my strongest field of tech. I believe I tried something similar to this before and it didn't work because after a certain duration of time the router would drop the PC's IP from its memory or something. Looking at the spec page ( ) I cannot tell if it supports port forwarding to a broadcast address. I would like to explore direct vs using a second phone. Does your router support VPN server? This could be a alternative to using an internal phone you can VPN into your network then using your phone can push the WOL packet as you would have direct access to your internal network. Do you know if your router supports port forwarding to a broadcast address? If WOL works internally it will work externally outside your network as well, as long as you can forward UDP port to a broadcast address.ģ. What is the make and model of your router?Ģ. I have a few questions before I give you advice on this subject.ġ. only seen done.Ĭan anyone point me to some resources that may help me setup Port forwarding, so I can send a wake on lan packet from my phone over the internet to an old phone on my local network that can then push the packet to my sleeping desktop PC.
My alternative is trying to use a port forwarding application on a rooted old android phone, but this is not something I have set up before. My router does not directly support wake on lan so I cannot ping the router to ping the computer.
#Wol wake on lan wan android setup how to#
In order to do this I have already set up a static IP address with my IP provider, but, where I am stuck, is how to send the message. However, I desire this functionality remotely as well. When on my local network I utilize Wake On Lan functionality to wake the computer from sleep. I have a desktop PC that I also frequently use as a remote media server.
