Wake On Lan from another subnet.
-
Hi all! I recently added to my network setup a Firewall between my router and my server (on the router lan basically). I have a bot connected to the router subnet and the server is connected to the firewall subnet. I expected that the Wake On Lan wouldn't work anymore since the IP of the server changed but I've been trying for a week to get it working without any success. The firewall itself doesn't seems to block the packets as in the logs there's nothing blocked from the ip of the bot but the server still doesn't wake up. I can wake up the server from the same subnet of the firewall but I can't if I'm trying to wake it up behind the firewall (Under the router subnet). Is anyone able to help me solve this problem?
To better understand it here's a picture of the setup.

Wake on LAN packets are broadcasted by default. So the packets do not pass a router at all.If the bot belongs to the server anyhow you can possibly put it behind pfSense as well.
Or send the WoL packet from any other host which resides within the servers L2, maybe from pfSense itself.
