Wake-on-LAN

Power on sleeping or shut-down machines remotely with a Wake-on-LAN magic packet, so a device is always reachable when you need it.

Wake-on-LAN needs the desktop app at both ends, the host's permission and the same local network.

Key benefits of Wake-on-LAN

Wake before you connect

Power on a sleeping or shut-down PC before you start the session.

Let machines sleep

Computers don't have to stay on all night just in case.

Off by default

The host has to allow it; nothing wakes a machine that hasn't agreed.
