I do happen to have an android computer on the network which is running a kiosk and is on all the time. I should be able to use that to send the WOL packet. Could you give me a few more details on what you mean by "a simple web server which will invoke the etherwake command"?

Thank you for your response. I gathered that WOL doesn't work directly over VPN, I need an awake computer on the local network to send the WOL to the sleeping computer. I presume that is essentially what is happening when I click on the "Send Wake-On-LAN" in the Meraki dashboard. But the question remains, how can a user who doesn't have access to the Meraki dashboard, get the MX64 to send a WOL magic packet to a sleeping computer on the local network?

I have set up a VPN with the MX64 to access a computer on the local network. That works fine. I'm able to access the computer remotely using Remote Desktop. But my problem is getting a WOL (wake-On-LAN) to work. I've been using a WOL utility (https://wol.aquilatech.com/) to wake up the computer over the local network, but this doesn't work over the VPN. I know I can wake the computer up using "Send Wake-On-LAN" in the Meraki dashboard, but I'm trying to set this up for a user who doesn't have access to the dashboard. I've read that its possible to do a remote WOL via Port Forwarding (https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WOL#Remote_Wake_On_LAN_via_Port_Forwarding), but I have no idea how to set this up on the MX64. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
