Never heard of that phrase ARP thanks i will look into that
Update: I have installed the wol plugin from opnsense into my machine, you asked if i can send a wol packet though the router and so in my thinking i was able to do it via the plugin. The problem starts on the ARP, i found what it is and what it do but i dont know how i can insert the MAC address into the firewall rule that i created above, if you dont mind could you help me on how can i do it? And if i do that will i be able to send the wol signal though the Wlan or Wireguard in the future? Thanks
From a Linux command line it would be the command called arp, you need to add a static arp entry. I don’t know how that works on sense, but on Linux it would be something like
arp -s IP MACMaybe there’s a module in opnsense to help. The way I’ve done this before is using a machine connected to the same network at my target to wake up by logging into that machine and issuing the wake command.
