Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoSure, but you can’t access your home network anyway if your router is turned off…
of course but most routers won’t do anything like this. and by router I mean the all in one devices people have, not enterprise gear.
Asus routers, even my 15 year old tplink archer A7 could
with factory firmware?

Yep, openvpn with factory firmware. It even had a (limited) choice DDNS services for self hosting, on a cheap consumer router. I could never figure out if NAT hairpinning worked though.
Almost all routers have an “advanced” section where you get a lot if these nice options.
I have only bought a ubiquiti device in the last few years though, so I guess it is possible that routers have been enshittified like a lot of tech products with features locked behind a paywall.
