Wake On LAN

[BackerTheHacker]

Has anyone gotten Wake on LAN to work over IPSec VPN tunnels?

I am struggling with it.

Hi BackerTheHacker,

Wake-On-LAN uses broadcast packets as seen from the packet captures on https://wiki.wireshark.org/WakeOnLAN.md.

To enable the Forwarding of Broadcast packets over the IPsec tunnel, you will need to add a new Phase 2 selector for the IPSec tunnel, then enable broadcast forward on the IPSec tunnel interface and also create a multicast policy for the same.

The below KB explains the same:

I hope it will help you.
