Hey all!

I've been trying to Wake On Lan from "LAN" to "LAB" but it fails. It works from OPNsense itself. I've been reading and searching, got square eyes right now. Just can't seem to figure it out.

I've tried mDNS repeater, selected the 2 interfaces, enabled, rebooted. Just not sure if this is the intented package for it...

Might anyone know a solution?

Kind regards,

Ezra

You cannot do that because you cannot route WOL frames. There is no way around the WOL plugin or SSH on OPNsense with standard components*. In contranst to mDNS WOL is a lower layer on the OSI model.

* It may work via a custom packetfu / scapy script but it may end in a broadcast storm - which makes this a pretty bad idea.

Darn thats just to bad. I now have a snippit on my Android device to SSH to OPNsense, WOL the machine... Guess I'll be using that. Thanks for your time!
