      When I try to send a WOL packet to a computer on my LAN I get

      php[32189]: /services_wol.php: The command '/usr/local/bin/wol -i 192.168.1.255 00:1f:32:78:bc:23' returned exit code '1', the output was '/usr/local/bin/wol: Cannot send magic packet for '00:1f:32:78:bc:23' to 192.168.1.255:40000: Permission denied'

      It gives no error on my WAN.

      I'm running the Snapshot from Feb 4th.

        Works for me.

        /usr/local/bin/wol -i 192.168.1.255 00:1f:32:78:bc:23

        Waking up 00:1f:32:78:bc:23…

        Works from the GUI too.

        I'm on a snapshot from Feb. 6, though nothing has changed related to wol in a while.

        Can you replicate on another system or provide any details on something specific to your setup that might be causing it?
