Automatic WOL on port access

[Patrick1610]

Hi, 

 

I have a Netgear R7000 (currently on Advancedtomato, but is't okay to switch firmware if needed and keeps good openVPN support)  and want to do the following with it:

When I open the Plex application on one of the cliënt devices (iPhone, TV, etc) they try to access Plex through my router (internally as wel as externally) When this happens, I want to have te router automatically wake it when it is asleep. 

 

Does anyone know a way to get this to work? 

 

Regards, 

Patrick

http://jazz.tvtom.pl/waking-server-incoming-connection/ would probably work for you, but you'd need to install OpenWRT.

Thanks for your reply! And does OpenWRT have a good VPN support, like AdvancedTomato? I'll look into that solution

I've never used one myself, but OpenVPN and a couple of other options are available. Instructions for setting OpenVPN up are available on their wiki from their homepage.
