WOL over VPN

Petikeki

Hello!

I want to access my home PC remotely, from an IPad. To achieve this I have my router acting as a openvpn router, then after connecting to the VPN, I send a Wake On Lan package and then I can access my computer with the windows built in remote desktop function.

If I directly connect to my home network everything works fine. But if I want to connect through my VPN the Wake On Lan doesn’t work. If the computer is already on I can connect using VPN + remote desktop. Why does the WOL fail, what can I do to fix it?
