Can't WOL my device from outside my LAN.

Post by thalesm »

Hi,
I need help accessing my devices from my phone data plan.
I can access it when inside my wifi range but not when I turn the wife off.
What I want to do is remotely WOL my devices from outside my LAN.
Thanks

First ..never expose your NAS to WAN directly ..use a VPN tunnel to do so (check all the malware threads, to see what happens to those that expose their NAS)

When you have a VPN tunnel established, use a device in the LAN to send a WOL package...many VPN capable routers have that function build in (e.g. asus)
