I was willing to post this in the home network community, but it is not active at all… So I hope this is the right place, as I use a self hosted wireguard and pihole.
I’m just a hobbyist whose first language is not English, so please, bare with me :)
So I use Wireguard Easy to create a tunnel to my home network to use pihole on my phone and access my services from outside.
I have an app to wake my home computer on LAN that is working fine when I’m home.
I’d like to be able to wake it from outside and I don’t know how.
A few things are bugging me.
If I’m connected to my home network, shouldn’t I be able to WoL my computer as long as I use my tunnel ?
And, on some occasions, I was able to WoL my PC when I wasn’t home (I remember doing it once when I was visiting my parents).
I use the “wakeonlan” package. Simply install it, ssh to your server, and run “wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”, where “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx” is the Mac-adres of the PC you’re trying to wake.

You understood correctly.
I have a RPi running Wireguard, and a PC.
How would you use the RPi to wake the PC ? What is your method ?
My RPi runs Debian and docker.
You can use the command ‘wakeonlan x’ where x is your MAC address of the pc you are trying to wake.
I use WireGuard on a pi and then use wakeonlan from my phone to start my pc.
Awesome, thanks :)
