Works Perfectly (once your network is ready)
After reading previous reviews, some saying it simply doesn’t work others saying brilliant, I can clarify that if your network, the machine you want to wake, your router and your ISP IP address is all configured properly then it does work perfectly. I can now reliably wake my PC from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
However if you don’t know how to set up a dynamic DNS, how to port forward, how to prevent your routers ARP cache from clearing the addresses of the machine you want to wake, how to activate WOL in the BIOS of your machine, how to enable the power options of your LAN adapter to allow WOL then you’ll be fighting a losing battle. That is no fault of the app, the app is simply one cog in the gearbox that makes it all work. And when they all mesh correctly it’s perfect.
