Wake on lan

[mahesh1283]

Wake on wireless is possible. We just don't know how to.

@mahesh1283 you might be able to set something up with raspberry pi. jio does have public ipv6 you can use. you can create a bash script to send the magic packet, have it executed through web interface.

its a bit complicated but should work

[Guide] How to host webservers on Jio Fiber, accessible to IPv4 clients | Reliance JioFiber

As you might know, Jio does not offer static IPv4, and it is not easy to apply for port forwarding (for Camera etc. purposes). However, they do provide IPv6 and this can be used for hosting web servers. To allow IPv6 incoming connections to your device (e.g. a PC running nginx), you need to...

Why rasberry pi? Can't an old iPhone do this. All i need is the ip address, right? Once i port forward the static local ip of my desktop pc then i should be able to connect. I wonder why no one has thought of this?

No because when the pc is turned off there is no ip connection. It won't work.

WOL works by broadcasting a special packet on the network containing the mac address of the target pc. If the target pc has hardware that supports WOL then on getting this packet it turns on.
That means all i need to do is connect to the router and make it broadcast the special packet in the lan.
I am sure there is some way.

if you can get the router to send magic packet from outside (this'll need some kind of web interface or smthn to access from outside (Jio only has public IPv6 so your IPv4 devices wont be able to access it without the CloudFlare method i mentioned earlier) and execute the script).

though jio routers are very locked down so its unlikely. i believe that the raspi method mentioned would be the most suitable.

good luck

Thanks JB701 for your valuable opinion. I will give it a go and post my findings here. Thanks again.

You can use wol utility for this.
1. Inside your LAN, wol $your-pc-mac-address
2. Over the internet; forward port 9 to your pc, wol --port=9 --host=yourpc.wheatbread.home $your-pc-mac-address

If you have Asus Router, it has a dedicated WOL section in web GUI or App GUI. Add devices you want to wake from web GUI of the Asus router. The android/iOS router app gets around CG-NAT non public IP issue by creating a wireguard like VPN tunnel called Security link. Then you can wake up devices in your home LAN from anywhere in the world.
