[Solved] WOL over PPTP

RouterOS General
1

Hi,
Have PPTP server enabled and running smoothly on my router. PPTP connections are bridged to LAN. How could I forward WOL package from PPTP client to LAN located server?

Help please.

You could use UDP WOL (not WOL with 0x0842 ethernet frames) and forward them as regular UDP traffic using dst-nat in your firewall rules to the servers IP. These UDP frames use usually destination port 7 or 9.

Thanks. Followed your idea and it works. My LAN located server wakes up from remote location through VPN.

just a note, RouterOS is capable to send out WOL packets itself.

look at: /tool wol

Yes, have been using the ROS wol before, now looking how to automate it with external application.
