![]() ![]() It is possible to have WOL port-forwarded directly form internet into your LAN but some firmware won't allow you to forward to the broadcast address so you need to 'spoof' a new broadcast address by mapping that magic MAC address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) to a different IP and forwarding to that. If you can do the latter then the Dyn client can run anywhere on your network, not necessarily on your 'main' router.Īlso some advice on WOL. I'm not sure about Tomato but certainly on DDWRT there is config as to whether to use the interface IP, or the public IP as determined by querying an external website. Not sure you can send one over the internet, but do try. Normally you need to connect to a device that is capable of sending a magic packet, like a server or an enterprise-lite router like a EdgeRouter Lite or Mikrotik. Do you know if this works already? You don't need to have DDNS installed to test it, you can do it via phone connected to 3/4G. Now, for magic packet / wake on lan, you said via teamviewer. This is what I think they actually have done. Basically if they never thought that the router doing the DDNS could be a secondary one, then they might have just set it to "pick your wan IP address and send it to DDNS provider". Now, the issue is how the tomato software was coded to do this. After all it's a service and it just sends info out to the DDNS provider. I am not sure if you need the internet facing router to be the one that manages DDNS, it does stand to reason, but I also could not think of any reason why it could not be managed by another device behind the router, like another router or a PC.
