Secure Wake-on-LAN Across Networks with WOL Proxies

Auto Shutdown Manager enables reliable Wake-on-LAN (WOL) across VLANs and remote networks. While this can be achieved with directed broadcasts, that method can introduce security vulnerabilities. For this reason, WOL Proxies are the recommended and most secure technology for waking remote computers.

What Can Be a WOL Proxy?

Any computer running the Auto Shutdown Manager client can function as a WOL proxy. In many remote locations, this role is filled by local servers or small PCs that are already operating 24/7.
