Hi, I would like to use my QNAP NAS to wake up my PCs remotely via wake-on-LAN.
My situation is this: I have a network with 4 PCs and a QNAP NAS, all PCs are configured to turn on via wake-on-lan. The QNAP NAS is always on and remotely accessible via its web interface.
Is there a way, from the web interface of the NAS, to send the wake-on-lan magic packet to my PCs to turn them on?
Thank in advance

No, afaik QNAPs busybox do not have such a capability.
May be if you are installing Entware its possible to do such tasks (not sure about).
But there is no built-in app for WoL.
Sometime and a lot of firmware versions ago there was an app for waking up devices in app store. But this app was removed long time ago.
Isnt your router able to send a WoL packet?
Regards

Be VERY careful exposing your admin interface to the internet. QNAP has sent multiple warnings.federico.massimi wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:55 pm The QNAP NAS is always on and remotely accessible via its web interface.

Re: Send wake-on-lan magic packet from QNAP NAS
So I managed to get my QNAP NAS to act as a Wake-On-LAN platform for my home devices by installing the following Docker application using Container Station:
https://github.com/seriousm4x/UpSnap
The only modifications I did to the Docker compose file was to uncomment the entrypoint line, point the configuration folder to an existing location on the NAS, and to expose the port (in this case: 5000) outside of the Docker container, so it is accessible:
However, as @dosborne said, exposing your NAS' web interface directly to the internet can be extremely dangerous, especially with the ransomware that keeps popping up targeting QNAP devices. I would suggest using a service like Tailscale or ZeroTier to create a virtual network and keep your NAS and other trusted devices (like phones, laptops, etc) in it, so that they can communicate with each other securely, without doing port forwarding on your router.

Code: Select all
volumes:
- /share/YourSharedFolder/UpSnap/data:/app/pb_data
entrypoint: /bin/sh -c "./upsnap serve --http 0.0.0.0:5000"
