Hello,
at home I have a crap ISP router, which has no ARP list. If i turn off my laptop, the router drop out the laptop IP address a few minutes later and it will be not turning on when I send a WOL packet.
I figured it out, when is sending a WOL packet with my phone to my local broadcast IP not the exact IP which the laptop has, the laptop is will be turning on.
My question is that is a problem? Does it pose a security risk? (No other PC-s turning on, the other computers do not have WOL turned on) I using it in my private home network, and my router has got no open ports.
