Wake on Lan thru IPSec Site-Site Tunnel

I have a site to site IPSec tunnel setup and everything works fine (both networks can see each other via IP addresses and are ping visible.

However, I'm trying to "wake up" a computer at the remote site from my current site and it's not working. I'm assuming the IPSec tunnel is not forwarding the broadcast.

I'm sending the broadcast message with a simple program I found, it uses the mac address and broadcasts the wake up string on port 7 for the remote IP range (e.g. broadcasts it on 192.168.6.255 for the remote network, when run from a local machine on 192.168.3.xxx).

Any help in getting these WOL broadcast messages through the IPSec tunnel would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally:
:Strict Routing" is OFF, and "Auto Packet Filter" is ON (both sites are set like this).

WoL typically doesn't work over Layer 3 without a WoL proxy on the otherside. because the MAC of the destination changes at the router.
