WOL Over Different Subnets

« on: January 18, 2023, 04:33:25 pm »

Hello

I have 2 LANs in my home one for Wired and one for wireless.
I want to use a client on my wifi device to send WOL packet to a device on the wired network.
Is there any relay or proxy on opnsense that will work for this?

Thanks

Only if you bridge them. A WoL magic packet works on layer 2 while firewalls and routers are layer 3 devices

I created a german tutorial to send WOL over VPN to LAN subnet. Should work for you too: https://www.heimnetz.de/anleitungen/firewall/opnsense/opnsense-wake-on-lan-ueber-vpn/
