How Wake-on-LAN Works

Wake-on-LAN (WOL) allows a powered-off or sleeping computer to be started remotely by sending a special network packet called a Magic Packet.

Wakeon generates and sends this packet to the selected device.

Typical configuration:

MAC Address: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255
Port: 9

Getting Started

1. Enable Wake-on-LAN in BIOS/UEFI

Enable one of the following options depending on your motherboard:

• Wake-on-LAN
• Wake by PCI-E
• Power On By PCI-E
• Resume By LAN
• PME Event Wake Up

2. Configure Your Network Adapter

On Windows:

1. Open Device Manager
2. Open your Ethernet adapter properties
3. Enable:
   • Allow this device to wake the computer
   • Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer
4. Enable Wake-on-LAN related options under the Advanced tab

3. Add Your Device to Wakeon

You will typically need:

• Device name
• MAC address
• Broadcast address
• Port (usually 9)

Finding Your MAC Address

Windows

Open Command Prompt:

ipconfig /all

Use the Physical Address value of your Ethernet adapter.

macOS

ifconfig

Linux

ip addr

Remote Wake

Wake-on-LAN was originally designed for local networks.

For remote wake scenarios, Wakeon recommends using:

• WireGuard
• Tailscale
• ZeroTier
• Router VPN solutions

Advanced WAN setups using:

• Port forwarding
• Static DHCP lease
• MAC/IP binding
• Broadcast forwarding

may work depending on your router and ISP.

Supported Platforms

• Android
• iOS

Planned:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

Tech Stack

• Flutter
• Dart
• Riverpod
• SharedPreferences
• Material 3
• Cryptography Package

Google Play Experience

The Android build supports native Google Play in-app reviews and in-app updates. Automatic review prompts are intentionally conservative: Wakeon waits until the user has configured a device, completed at least three successful wake operations, used the app in multiple sessions, and passed a minimum installation age. Eligibility counters remain local on the device.

Privacy Policy

Wakeon does not collect, transmit, or store personal information.

All device information remains on the user's device.

For details, see Privacy Policy.

Wakeon does not use:

• Analytics services
• Advertising SDKs
• Tracking frameworks
• User accounts

Open Source

Wakeon is open-source and community-friendly.

Contributions, bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests are welcome.

Roadmap

• Improved network discovery
• Better hostname detection
• Automatic MAC address detection
• Windows support
• macOS support
• Linux support
• Additional accessibility improvements
