Wake on Lan for Work From Home

Wake on Lan for Work From Home.

In order to operate climate protection, it would be good if the work-from-home PCs did not have to be switched on, but could be started via wake on lan.

    You need another workstation or server at a site to INITIATE wake on lan. How else would you send a signal for the computer to TURN ON? There's no built in global network to enable WAKE ON LAN functionality. A separate computer on the local network needs to send a MAGIC PACKET to the network card on the WIRED network to wake the computer. This definitely does not work on laptops.
