Wake on Lan issue
-
Recently I tried booting my computer from afar and noticed my computer didn't start up but it did in the past(before upgrading to 2.4). However I can boot it up when connected to my wifi network using the Kodi remote app on my phone. Meanwhile if I VPN or login on my local network and send a magic packet via pfSense GUI no packet is sent to my computer. Is anyone else noticing this issue on the latest version of the beta?

Made a little patch: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/3756 , it might fix the issue depending on what button you where using..

Thanks for your reply. Checked it out today and noticed that if I click on the MAC address the packet isn't sent, but if I click on the button it works. I believe it doesn't send the first one when you click on the Dashboard widget it doesn't send it. I believe if you click on the MAC address again it'll send it but. When the issue does happen the "Sent magic packet to xxxxxxxxxxxx" isn't shown.

Added widget button to my pullrequest. Any other buttons i missed? ;)

If you have the power button on the widget dashboard screen and the mac address on the wake on lan its service page, we should be patched/good to go. Appreciate you working on a patch for this! I'll keep checking during updates if I have this issue arise again.
