WOL through Astaro

Hello, 
does anyone knows if is possible to send a "magic packet" from internet through the ASG in order to remotely turn on sleeping server?

thank you

  • Sorry to revive an old thread but I think it's still relevant.
      
     I found another thread (https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/54/t/40213) that a): contains a script and a way to use a DNAT with a dummy IP but it seems that will open the entire LAN subnet to incoming port x UDP traffic.


    I found a pretty nice app for Android called JuiceSSH that will let you create snippets that can be added to connections. You could create a connection and add an 'ether-wake' snippet for each computer you wish to wake so you end up with what is basically a one-click solution for each computer.


    What concerns me is allowing SSH access over the internet.


    One caveat to using JuiceSSH is that you either have to b): set up Sophos to allow root access over the Internet or c): add the SU command and store the root password in the snippet. JuiceSSH does however have the option of password protecting everything (i.e.; connections, snippets, etc).


    Which method do you guys think is safer; a, b or c?
