Hello, welcome to NETVN channel
Do you want to power on your computer remotely and then control it
It sounds like a Hollywood movie but it's totally doable with some preparation
And here are the steps we are going to do, what do we need to prepare for our target computer first
You need to enable the feature that allows you to wake up the computer via the network cable
Also known as Wake-on-LAN
To do that you need to enable this feature for your network adapter
Next, you configure on your internet router to allow the computer wake up signals from the internet to pass through it
Also known as port forwarding on the router
Because computer wake-up signals are sent to the computer's MAC address,
you need to binding the MAC address with an ip address that corresponds to your local ip address range
The computer to be woken needs to be connected to the internet with a cable
and of course always connected to a power source
As in this example I will associate the ip address 10.11.32.41
with the MAC address of the computer
Thanks to this binding
computer wake-up signals transmitted to ip address 10.11.32.41 will be transmitted to the corresponding computer's MAC address
And for this particular case it is the MAC address of the computer that needs to be woken up
You write down the IP address and Mac address information to use for the next steps
Next you forward port 9 to the ip address 10.11.32.41 specified
in the previous step
In addition, on some routers that support sending broadcasts to all computers behind the router,
you can forward broadcast packets
If your router supports forwarding of broadcast packets
do it this way
To send a packet to wake up your computer
You need to determine what public IP address you are using
If your public ip address is static then great, you can skip this step
But if your public ip address is dynamic then you need to use dynamic dns service to update it automatically
There are many dynamic dns services like no ip, duck dns, dyndns for you to choose
but in this example I choose dynu dns, it's free
I already created a free domain name, I will use it to update my public ip address
To update the public ip address you need to install the dynu client on Windows
After login your free account, your public ip address is automatically updated
Now you don't need to worry about Dynamic public IP address anymore
TeamViewer is commonly known to us as a remote access application,
but less well known as a way to wake up a remote computer
So what do we need to do to wake up the computer with TeamViewer
You also need to create a free Teamviewer account
and log in to the Teamviewer app on the computer that wants to be woken up remotely
In the Wake on LAN configuration section, select the public address
Here you enter the domain name obtained from the previous step
I recommend that you allow Teamviewer to start with Windows so that when the computer powers on we can control it remotely
Next, you set up a separate Teamviewer password for the target computer
because normally the password will change every time the computer is powered off
Finally you add it to your contacts
and edit the name so it's easy to remember
By default, the computer's motherboard will turn off the wake on lan feature so we need to enable it
With each motherboard manufacturer, there will be a different way to activate wake on lan,
so you should refer to the homepage of the motherboard manufacturer
My computer uses asus motherboard
and the activation method will be as above
If your computer also uses Asus motherboard please follow me
After completing the necessary configurations on the target computer we will check the results
You can use your computer or smartphone to wake up your computer from anywhere via the internet
In your contacts, the target computer will appear offline status
To turn it on just click and wake up button
Wait a moment the computer will switch to the online State and you can remotely control the target computer
What about smartphones
Just like the computer you log into your TeamViewer account and find the target computer in your contacts
TeamViewer can be installed on both IOS and Android so you can wake up your computer on any smartphone
As you can see I woke up my computer from anywhere by the internet
And after waking that computer I can remotely control it
And of course I power it off then it's completely easy
That's all thanks for watching
