Comment on Is it possible to make WoL unicast work indefinitely?

You need to send the WOL packet to the broadcast address of your network, not to the machine IP address. It this way all the machines on the network will receive it, including the ones that have been powered off for a while

I am talking about WoL in unicast mode, not with the magic packet.

Im curious, why unicast over magic packet?

Because I want the server to boot when a service on said server is being accessed. Without having to manually boot it before.

I’m not familiar with this setup. But do you want for the server to boot as soon as it receive any packet addressed to its IP?
